Not to harp on this, but one man has now coordinated the disruption of a port, two separate attacks on the RNLI, and interference with the border force and the police have no further questions? And the Home Secretary has not noticed?

A shot of the famous lone tree on Llyn Padarn, Eryri (Snowdonia). I visited today for the first time and couldn't resist.
A lone sapling clings to a rock at the edge of a north Welsh lake. In the distance, shrouded in mist, dramatic mountains frame the view.

Hahaha! Now it's second story, and they've added 'Reform plans to'. Someone must have had a word. It's still an utterly ridiculous puff piece. They might as well just say 'Reform plans to use a pen torch to drill a hole in the surface of the moon'.

This is absolute rookie stuff. There is just absolutely no way that a headline like this should ever make the BBC News website. It being the weekend is no excuse, either: political news *always* drops on Saturday night, for the Sunday papers.
