The joys of working in a kindergarten. I'm running the Berlin marathon on Sunday, so naturally I've been fighting the cold these adorable bags of germs have given me. The icing on the cake is coming into work this morning to discover there's an outbreak of Hand-Foot-Mouth disease. Yay?

The first episode of WORZEL GUMMIDGE (1979) sees the loveable scarecrow come alive for the first time, and it's directed like a scene from an Italian zombie film. Lucio Fulci would approve!

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

It's craven, it's politically stupid, and it's morally wrong. Number 10 does not struggle to get Andy Burnham in front of a camera when it wants him to be there. Every minute he's not on show over this is the result of a deliberate decision.

Right wingers HAVE come here though. They just get blocked en masse and give up. There's nothing stopping them coming here and forming a right-wing clique. But they want to come here to antognise everyone else, and they can't do that if they're blocked.

Sat on a plane and just realised that there's no row 13 (understandable, stupid and pointless) but there's also no row 17. I've never noticed that before and have no idea why. Is 17 a particularly unlucky number in some cultures?

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Have to say Deutsche Bahn are an amazing advert for travelling by car. Delayed both ways and they just stopped at Hauptbahnhof instead of traveling 2 more stops to our destination. Great work!

Got to say that Deutsche Bahn has really made our day trip out so spectacular. 30 minutes stuck at Berlin Hauptbahnhof before finally leaving and now a 40 minute wait for the connecting train. So looking forward to the trip back this evening.
