"Rather than being met with the usual mealy-mouthed condemnations and talk of “legitimate concerns”, these “protests” need to be called what they are: far-right vigilantism." Well said - this is a litmus test for politicians of all parties who profess to be patriotic and support the rule of law.

Sir Garry Sobers, West Indies cricketing great, dies aged 89
* West Indian widely regarded as greatest all-rounder * First to hit six sixes in one over in first-class game Sir Garry Sobers, an undisputed cricketing great and widely regarded as the sport’s greatest all-rounder, has died aged 89. Sobers will forever be associated with the feat he completed in 1968 at Glamorgan’s St Helen’s ground in Swansea when he became the first batsman to hit six sixes in a single over of six consecutive balls in first-class cricket but his achievements in a long and illustrious career were numerous.

The issue with housing benefit going to private landlords has always been that private landlords set the market rate that housing benefit then pays. That's a perverse incentive. The landlords have no competition, instead they are incentivised to match any price increase with their own.
