The other thing of interest I saw earlier, which won't have been picked up on TV, former head of the civil service Lord Robin Butler was in the Commons gallery to hear the statement.
I'm surprised to see the senior cabinet ministers around Starmer earlier (Reeves, Lammy) have also all gone. Not huge, but not nothing either.

And that's without looking at his impact on the prison service.
A moving moment earlier in the House of Lords hearing former fire brigade chief Andy Roe talk about his experience at the Grenfell Tower disaster. The sort of speech a chamber stops for.

What does your milk preference in tea and coffee say about your politics?
🐄If only cow milk drinkers could vote Reform would have a big lead, especially among those who like semi-skimmed.

Polls have closed in Hungary. A record 77.8% turnout.
No exit polls, but shouldn’t be long till the actual results roll in.
Labour MP gets dragged publicly by a pub landlady for having the audacity to go into her pub, order food and spend money. Honestly no wonder decent people don’t want to go into public life. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Good luck getting from Finchley to Brixton, then to the house, then back on a bus going back in the other direction within an hour! Would be closer to two!
Not if you wanted to get the bus home it wouldn't be! (The rise in cost is outrageous even so - and then there's complaints by Royal Mail about falling amounts of cards/letters, I wonder why...)
Pickup of the Press Association's story overnight as families of victims say the 30-year freeze on compensation means it isn't enough for those with catastrophic injuries.
This is a great bit of trivia. I have no idea what the hook would be, but would love to hear an interview with him about why. How marvellous.
Sorry am I reading correctly? Richard Gibson is/was an FT sub editor?!
For all the claims that 'you wouldn't know it's Easter', the Easter Sunday service I was at this morning was the busiest I've seen it in years.
Doesn't mean it's a great revival, but it scotches the idea put around this morning that 'people are shy about promoting it'

And yet, I feel it’s more likely that VAR will spread like a disease down the pyramid and across to the WSL rather than be scrapped:
I remember when “exclusive” meant “nobody else has this story”
On 30 March 1979, Conservative MP Airey Neave, a close ally of Margaret Thatcher, was killed by a car bomb as he was leaving the Palace of Wesminster.
Neave was one of a number of MPs targetted by Irish Republican paramilitaries during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

“Police say there were regular attempts to steal KitKats prior to 2001, but they were all foiled.”
First game of two on Non League Day as Walthamstow play Lowestoft in the Isthmian League with the North London Derby at the Emirates to follow afterwards. Very much enjoying the pink Walthamstow kit.
Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?
