Cyclist, slack arse and Cornish in exile in England. Tired, in-house lawyer. Like to pretend views my own, but are they really? What really is free will, etc.

Why? Are they from Yorkshire and the logic is the same as putting The Smiths under S?

Always amazed me that his way out of debt was to write novels, for much better writers than him that seems to have been the way into debt. I just don't understand anything is my conclusion I guess

The Barnton Nuclear Bunker during the Cold War era in the 1950s. A vast, three-storey, underground installation hidden 100 feet beneath Corstorphine Hill in West Edinburgh.

I meant the 5 constituencies becoming 1. As to size, Cornwall has a bigger population than Iceland and they get to be a country

My admittedly biased goto example for this is Cornwall which is a nice size for this sort of grouping

Which is probably down to not having one football team. If we were a properly federated country it may be different, but that's in the more unlikely side of things that might happen

There's only a week to go until the #WeeRead - a campaign to get 50,000 people across Scotland ALL READING TOGETHER on Wednesday 7th October! Reading for just 6 minutes a day has been shown to reduce stress and improve mental health so pledge to read now at: www.weeread.scot/

Luton Airport Parkway train station is barely 0.8 miles from the airport itself - it's obscene the car-centric design of that area means there's physically no way to just walk that distance and you have to faff around with a shuttle bus.

I'd suggest STV, proportional, has a constituency connection and no party lists. We could also switch to it very easily from our present arrangements

Here's an idea, make number plates a govt monopoly so it would be illegal not to have a govt issued plate. It's dull, low tech, saves money in the medium term and more effective-so not going to be done.

BREAKING 📣 For several days, a peaceful protest took place in the morning, after a young child was killed by a car driver. The child was riding his bike to school, the father with him. The grieving community came together with hundreds of people, cyclist or not, creating a 3km long human bike lane.

Been thinking the same about Westminster politics since at least 2010 as very few of the decisions made since then seen to have been based on slow, sober reflection

Tory leader Badenoch registers gift of £8,177 for Murdoch meeting in Greece. Travelling abroad to beg favours from Murdoch. What has she promised him? I wonder how far she has travelled specifically to meet victims of Tory austerity, real wage cuts and people queuing at hospitals and food banks.

Badenoch registers gift of £8,177 for Murdoch meeting
The Murdochs' News Corp company paid for flights and accommodation for the Conservative leader and her husband to travel to Greece.
