Note to the people in that house round the corner from mine: Just because your car is an EV, with no tailpipe emissions, doesn't mean you get to burn smokey coal in a clean air zone. I hope that helps. (BTW, I also drive an EV)

You know there’s part of the UK that’s already doing Burnhamism? The state has control of city & regional buses, the rail network & the trains. The water company is state-owned. Care is part of the health service, not councils. A centralised gatekeeper for social housing.

With all due respect to Josh Simons, he doesn't get to pick the next MP for Makerfield. A by-election isn't just a formality.

Listening to the World at One, it sounded like silly games instead of frankness and honesty. I'm sure it was ever thus, but it feels like a deeply unserious way to make serious decisions.

@PaulBrandITV If you need help from your MLA in Northern Ireland, which of the five do you contact? If you need help from your local councillor (anywhere in the UK) which one do you contact? You contact the one who you think will help you. And, if they aren't up to much, you can try a rival.

Genuine question... when you're fed up in Wales and need help from your MS... which one of the six do you contact?!

If there is anything more tedious than people who refuse to say Northern Ireland it is grown adults who spend their days policing the Internet for when someone happens to say the north.

@MatthewOToole2 Matthew. You do know there are very few loyalist hard- liners in Donegal (the real North as you refer to ) What is your problem about calling the country you live in, pay your taxes to etc by its proper name Northern Ireland. ?

Brought leftover tuna bake into work today. I've just realised I'm the archetypal terrible colleague microwaving fish in the office.

The seagulls have started to congregate on that street near me where, in early summer, one of them turns aggressive. I know it's only April, but I can't remember when it starts. I know it's only one of those seagulls which attacks, but I can't tell them apart. So I'm avoiding.

I cannot understand the mentality of someone who revels in bombing somewhere "back to the stone age" with all of the human suffering that goes with that.

In the world today it's hard to identify the April Fools joke from real news.

💥⁉️Health Minister @mikenesbittni- 'The last party I thought would block it would be the DUP. The party of the Devil’s buttermilk.'

⁉️💥NEW Minimum unit alcohol pricing: 'The last party I thought would block it would be the DUP. The party of the Devil’s buttermilk.' 🎥Chief Reporter @jamesgould23 speaking to Health Minister @mikenesbittni. ⛔️He says minimum unit alcohol pricing will not be introduced in the current Assembly term due to a failure to secure Executive agreement. Mr Nesbitt told MLAs the failure to introduce the policy was a missed opportunity which will have “an impact on many vulnerable and at-risk people in Northern Ireland”. Deputy First Minister @little_pengelly said her party had asked the Health Minister to “bring forward proposals that are based on evidence”. Minister Nesbitt says there is evidence and outlines some of the figures behind his reasoning.

@gerrylynch There was no Eostre! St Bede was giving the Pagans some latitude over their claims - absolutely no historical evidence. & given the Date of Easter is reliant on Solar AND Lunar Calendars combined at Nicaea in AD325? & no, Evangelicals from Colorado invented Psalm Sunday nonsense!

Easter is named for the Saxon goddess Eostre, whose festival the Christians took over. This was agreed the previous Sunday, and the Christians celebrated by singing psalms, which is why the Sunday before Easter is still known as Psalm Sunday. #EveryDayALearningDayOnTwitter
