We live by the railway line in Brisbane that is used to take coal from a Queensland mine to the port. Usually there are a handful of coal trains each day. The last few days there have been at least one every hour, because Trump's war is spiking the price. The mine must be working double overtime.

Seeing Shamima Begum's name referenced in Australian news stories is a grim reminder that lots of the UK population feel that if a child is groomed by adults, trafficked by adults, safe-housed by adults and finally given to an adult specifically so he can fuck a child, it's the child's fault.

Chatting with Australians about the cost of UK public transport, and they can't even comprehend that this could be real (Deal to London annual season ticket: £7220).

Annual season ticket quote from the national rail site for Deal to London St Pancras. £7220

I'm pretty sure George Plantagenet would disagree

This is another extraordinary development in what has been an extraordinary story.

It’s hard to think of any precedent for the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the King’s brother.

That feeling when you're accustomed to all public transport being 25 pence, and then you come to London on holiday and pay over twenty quid just to get your family from zone 5 to zone 1.

Very few things in sport give me more satisfaction than seeing Baker Mayfield absolutely thriving, while his former employers, who dropped him to bet the entire farm on an unrepentant sexual predator, flail around in the wilderness.

When I was campaigning for Australian Greens in the recent election, we were up against Labor telling everyone that the only party of meaningful environment action was themselves. “Action, not outrage!”, the guy kept shouting over my conversations at the polling station. That “action”:

For those who are obsessed with the existence of trans people, nothing will ever, ever satisfy them. As you are going to see.

Day by day you’re letting this wave of hate and discrimination sweep away the rights of trans people. Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are throwing the LGBTQA+ community under the bus to cater for Telegraph, express and daily mail readers.

The sponsors of the Supreme Court action are now loudly applauding a judgement based on on "biological sex" which doesn't define that phrase beyond pointing at what is written on someone's birth certificate. Maybe it's a different JK Rowling to the one who was recently calling Imane Khalif a man.

When you think about it, it's utterly mad that Australia renamed k'Gari to "Fraser Island" just because some bloke crashed his boat into it. It'd be like calling the lamp post on our street "Dave Streetlight"
