Crime rates show that people in Middlesbrough are probably most likely to experience crime. Westminster (as usual) comes out top when you compare the number of crimes with the population size, but that's skewed by all the visiting tourists. www.datawrapper.de/_/xNlFp/?v=2

Stalking crime reports have increased every year since they first appeared in Home Office statistics. There was a massive increase during the lockdown, as lots of people apparently had nothing better to do than harass strangers online www.datawrapper.de/_/RhIZv/?v=2

Great performance from Maximo Park last night (although I would’ve preferred more old songs). I missed Manc mayor Andy Burnham who was there too. #musicsky

New Order on Saturday night, I saw Peter Hook & the Light - I think he did a better set (JD &NO greatest hits) but they had a much bigger, fuller sound. #MusicSky #LiveMusic #NewOrder #WythenshaweParkLive #Music #GigSky #Gigs

I'll go for day 2... The TV show did a great job, but I loved the book. The first (chronologically) of Clavell's Asian saga was my favourite. Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. #BookSky 💙📚 #Books #BookChallenge
