I would only trade our Devon lifestyle for a palazzo in Venice, or a Villa on the Venice Lido.

Labour, as a mid-term government, can be pretty satisfied with losing just four points, although the Greens moving up 22 points after the week they've had should help Burnham and co. avoid complacency.

Zia is right - Robert Jenrick should never again be allowed anywhere near power.

Pioneer, and the magnitude of the achievement should not be understated. Computing then was tough and very very prone to disastrous consequences unless very rigorously written and tested. I only had a global reservations system to worry about, not the maths and integrity to reach the moon and back.

NEWS: We’re pleased to announce that Berthold Lubetkin’s Festival of Britain bus shelter in Hillesley, Gloucestershire, has been listed Grade II, following a recent application by C20. The Cotswold vernacular structure is believed to be a unique example of Lubetkin working in a traditional manner.

Lindi, very pleased for you. I have an interest in what you have termed 'the thyroid bloods'. Do you get the TSH and the T1 T2 etc. Does your GP monitor them or the endocrinologist?

We spend £20 Billion on civil servants to run our £3 Trillion economy - and we allow £50 million of private money to have a hand on the steering wheel. It’s quite mad.
