I missed last year's RunReigate Half-Marathon but I am back this year, and again fund-raising for East Surrey Samaritans, the branch where I am a volunteer. If you are able to make a donation, whether it is small or large, we are very grateful for it. justgiving.com/page/david-neu…

@Neil05594176 @OxfordMailOUFC If they're good enough who cares about their age

@OxfordMailOUFC We don't need youngsters

Oxford United have been linked with moves for two exciting Liverpool youngsters. The U’s are among a number of teams to have reportedly shown an interest in both James McConnell and Lewis Koumas #oufc oxfordmail.co.uk/sport/25361333…

I have created another crossword (my third so far). Have a look at it here (with solutions available) mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/2216 For anyone who tries it, I hope you enjoy it - do let me know how you get one either directly or via the mycrossword comments.

@DavidDavisMP VAT is charged on food and drink ... It has always been absurd that private school fees have been exempt.

The VAT on private schools is a vindictive piece of class warfare which will hurt parents who scrimp and save to pay school fees.

I created a cryptic crossword. It is not perfect, I know, and one significant error has been corrected - thanks to my mother for spotting this one. If you are interested, please have a go at it and let me know what you think. mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/2052

I have created a cryptic crossword puzzle :-) mycrossword.co.uk/cryptic/2052 If you have a go I would love some feeback (either on the whole thing or individual clues)

Can We Talk?

@VixThatRuns @reigateparkrun @mike622454 @james_holah @Cjasmith @GarethBowers @cbradbee @Happy808 Time to stop flirting with other parkruns and commit to your one true love @reigateparkrun

So love to be at @reigateparkrun this morning and see so many of my faves 🥰. @mike622454 @dnredhill @james_holah @Cjasmith ...and of course my stalwarts @GarethBowers @cbradbee @Happy808 . Strongest run for a long time too. No picture today, too busy chatting.

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

Totally agree. Give back her passport. Let her return. If there is evidence that she has committed crimes then charge her, and if not then she should be helped to recover from the consequences of her misguided (possibly because of grooming) decisions at a very young age.

@VixThatRuns 4 platforms ... Luxury!

A new house means trips to London get a new station. This one has 4 platforms instead of the 2 I'm used to!

@VixThatRuns Read this first though. Your transition to oldfarthood 😬 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@dnredhill And you lovely, special one for you too x

Too excited for sleep!

@GarethBowers @VixThatRuns Haha. Never trusted your judgement anyway!

Up far too early, thanks to still not having rebuilt my bed, but excited to be going back to parkrun for the first time in 5 weeks!

@arusbridger Lord Grayling of Failing?

Those of you a bit nervous about what a Starmer victory means for this country can take heart that we still have Lord Chris Grayling in parliament to make laws for the rest of his natural days

@VixThatRuns Ah, yes, heard about Wakehust ... Must give it a try

@dnredhill No Wakehurst

@VixThatRuns All gone smoothly? Do you have 410 seats in your new house?

Where I live the tories have been power for over 100 years. The Tory candidate, Rebecca Paul fell for Liz Truss hook,line and sinker. Her writing on Truss is adulatory. Luckily we have a really high calibre candidate @StuartBradyLab Let’s go Reigate & Banstead #timeforchange
