Which novelist would begin their novel with a scene of two horses, one black, one white and blood-stained, running through the streets of London on a Wednesday morning in April? Feels Ian McEwany to me.

A reminder that the ‘enormous cost’ of building the West Midlands Metro extension to Dudley is *half* the cost of ONE ROUNDABOUT in Bedfordshire.

It’s a shame about St George’s day. It would be good to have a reset, then celebrate all the nice stuff like Shakespeare, Savile Row, Poetry, Afternoon Tea & Morris Dancing. Instead we get drunk middle aged men, furious at how their lives have turned out, punching horses.

I’ve just applied for mine as my appearance has changed since my last ID photo - process was super easy & it took 5 mins. Deadline is today.

Well if this isn't a portent I don't know what is...

Just another day of life threatening road chaos in Birmingham. Our roads need putting into special measures. If this was any other part of the city (council, hospitals, police) it would have been done a decade ago

oh my god story of the year

Your kids will remember you not turning up to their plays/concerts/sports days a lot longer than your boss will remember you taking some extra time out.

There’s no money to sort the railway, the nhs, the post office scandal, support disabled people properly, sure start centres, to keep some fire stations & police stations open,

But there’s £1.8 million PER PERSON to traffic people to Rwanda.

No money, my arse.

Good morning.

Pedestrianise all the roads around schools before this happens again.

NEW: French coastguard confirm that five people have died attempting to cross the Channel.

The five include three men, a woman and a child. French media are reporting the child is a four year old girl.

10 minutes later and this room would have been full of children and nursery staff. Can't quite get my head around this 🤯

Happy St George's Day

Ok, if I tell you that I've seen this behaviour before, it probably tells you quite a lot about my somewhat adventurous youth, no?

The war on motorists, though 🙃

So children are not safe on the road, nor pedestrian crossings, nor the pavement, nor *inside their actual school*. Thankfully no children were inside but this could have been a very different story. #SafeStreetsNow liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

So what’s going to be the final big hurrah scandal for the Conservative government then? Choose your answer or add your own suggestion for ‘other’ in replies:

You are not prepared for how this guy pronounces Schweppes. 😭

Prince died eight years ago today. Rupert Murdoch is still alive. I’d like to speak to the manager, please.
