Indeed, I had a running vest of and no sun protection, so I’m still suffering. One of my mates said to me beforehand, go out to fast and you’ll pay the price. I was okay till Mile 17 when I got to the Mile 20 marker I knew I was better off walking

The Newport Marathon, woefully undertrained so a 20 mile run followed by a 10km walk, but great fun nevertheless

Indeed!

Indeed, but if you saw them this year politicians of all flavours are now putting out Easter messages. The adoption of Christianity by the right wing is a bizzare and very selective interpretation of the faith

Oh yes it is a right wing grift in every way

It utterly absurd thus showing Musk’s gobsmacking level of self awareness

Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain has been attracting more and more extreme figures, including fascists and ethnonationalists.

Why do these people see Lowe as their man?

And why has Lowe refused to disavow them?

There may not be a Christian revival, but Britain’s traditional churches aren’t doomed American-style Christianity can no longer be assumed to be the future for the churches in Britain.

Starmer should immediately & unequivocally ban access to British airspace to US warplanes. The UK should not be accomplice to a US President who is threatening more war crimes. Period.

[Brexit] was the greatest mistake this country has made since the war. I have no doubt about that at all. I mean, to turn our backs on our neighbours in that way, not just in terms of trade, but in terms of culture and everything was a ridiculous decision. Sir Michael Morpurgo, English author, poet, and playwright.

We can all agree with Sir Michael Morpurgo - Brexit was a grave mistake. It's time we fix the damage.
