The Ukrainian counteroffensive has been slowed down by a stubborn hedgehog.

The fracking ban will be scrapped on Thursday, as per @benrileysmith, with planning requests for new drilling expected within weeks. Yet this is what new chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng wrote on March 6 👇🏼

Govt sold 260 courts. Then restricted days judges sit to save money on courts + legal aid. And cut legal aid rates by 40%. Then required barristers to do a lot of work for no pay. Then refused to implement recommendations of its own review. And Raab is furious with barristers?!


This will brighten up the morning


And we thought Johnson was bad....

The reading of the classified football results on Sports Report has always been part of the Saturday match-day fabric for many fans. @5liveSport @bbc5live decision to scrap the service shows a lack of understanding of fans. It’s about continuity, the pyramid, information…

Very sad news from the other side of the world. 'Leggo' was one of the great companions on the cricket circuit. Warm and witty.

Liz Truss says: First minister of Wales is a “low energy Corbyn” First Minister of Scotland is an “attention seeker” Leader of Opposition is a “plastic patriot” This is the level of debate that we are being subjected to It’s not childish…because children are better than this


Such original funny, engaging comedy from @TerryAlderton at the @KomediaBrighton tonight. Pity about the Aussie warm-up man.

Yet more poor practice and cowardice as @DefraGovUK buries the bad news that our species and habitats are fading fast . All uncovered by @newscientist @adamvaughan_uk and as @MarkAvery says 'This is a department with no shame' . . . one of too many newscientist.com/article/233154…


It's a great achievement and a nice narrative, but don't think that the Lioness's success will transform women's football. Sport doesn't work like that, it's ephemeral, joy in a moment but little more.


This is genuine fun
