Why do I always fall for the same trap *every* rail journey? Buying a bottle of water from #WHSmiths prior to boarding..... 750 ml Highland Spring still water (not 75 ml as per receipt). Have a guess how much? Answer posted at the end of the day (if I remember).

The Telegraph has deleted, without fanfare, the word ‘living’ from the headline of Stephen Daisley's article on Professor Arday. Today, it just reads “Jason Arday is proof that you reap what you sow.”

Despite recent shifts, we're still in a 5+ party system. We don't know who will win the next election. But there's a real risk of a majority government getting elected on as little as 25% of the vote. We must scrap First Past the Post before it turns our democracy into a joke.

New from me: Britain’s graduate earnings premium is falling, cue “too many go to university!” But non-university outcomes are also bad, cue “we must reform vocational routes!” Both miss the point: people used to think education drove economic outcomes, but the economy drives educational outcomes.

This is spot on. The last government was not very responsive on this with the previous devolution bill. Let's hope the new PM is more responsive when the next one comes to Parliament.

Think the next lane is moving faster? Maths says you're probably wrong. Most traffic jams aren't caused by crashes – they're created by tiny braking differences that ripple backwards into "phantom jams." Smooth driving beats aggressive driving every time. Randa Herzallah explains
