Not really my area, but could it prejudice the trial to broadcast all this footage of the man with the sword, clearly showing his face? I suppose it'll be shown to the jury as evidence anyway.
Thanks to @The_TUC for this compilation - people have always reckoned that others are workshy. (Tip, if you can't find enough workers, raise wages, or mechanise. There is no third option). 1/2
I have seen more online political election ads in the last week (Susan Hall and Sadiq Khan) than I have in my entire previous history of being online
Strong pitch by Humza Yousaf to become Liz Truss's comedy double-act partner

Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, once accidentally farted while bowing before Elizabeth I. Mortified, he withdrew from her presence and spent seven years travelling abroad. Upon his return to court, the Queen greeted him with the words "My Lord, I had forgot the fart."

So much of Tory policymaking is now just "we have no idea how to make your life better, but we can definitely make someone else's life worse"
Can't believe this needs spelling out, but it's T-H-I-S, I mean come on it's not that hard
The great crested grebes have been doing their wonderfully elegant courtship dance. They even bring each other little bits of weed as gifts - and they don’t like being interrupted by coots #NewRiverBirds
All that stuff about us becoming a nation of workshy layabouts must be true, because I can't be bothered to think of a set-up for a "Poulter geist" joke. If we were back in the 1950s I'd have already livetweeted the first two episodes of a sitcom based on the premise
