Godden and Walker coming on. Guess we're not sitting back happy with a point!

In control but the danger is they improve in the 2nd half. Assume Godden will come on at some point as we haven't really looked like scoring so far.

If he was black he wouldn't be in court, he'd be dead. Look at the footage of the night in question and how he was acting and how the police responded, or rather didn't respond. The he was just a nice guy out cleaning graffiti or administering first aid is clearly rubbish. He went looking to...

Is rugby next in line? https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket/cricket-azeem-rafiq-mps-government-people-b1960858.html

Marr joins Neil & Kuenssberg in leaving the BBC. He's off to LBC. To be honest he's sadly not been his best since his illness. Opportunity now for the beeb to revamp their political coverage, be interesting to see who they bring in or promote. Not sure there's any glaringly obvious candidates...

Following his claim that he didn't name his dog Kevin "because it's black" there's photos doing the rounds of Alex Hales in blackface. Not great for him but again not sure we need to drag through everyone's social media history from decades ago. This is from a 2009 New Year's Eve party where...

Was an interesting interview with a virologist on the radio the other day. He said historically pandemics burn themselves out in a couple of years. That puts us to next spring so if we can get through the winter without the NHS collapsing a combination of the third dose seemingly producing the...

Got to laugh at how many people are on twitter claiming Ollie Robinson had his career ended over historic text messages. He was suspended while there was an investigation. They then gave him a 3 game suspension, conveniently the same number of games he'd missed while the investigation was...

Not really sure why the Tim Paine thing needs his resignation unless there's details that aren't in the press. As you say it was investigated by Cricket Australia and Cricket Tasmania and he was cleared. The chairman of Cricket Tasmania's chairman has said that it was "consensual, private...

Finally some good news on variants. A study from Imperial confirms the initial findings of the Health Security Agency that the AY.4.2 variant, known as child of delta in the press, which is thought to be 10 - 15% more transmissible than delta but produces fewer symptomatic people. This is what...

Nobody is saying that but you've saying him employer should send him on an educational course when he doesn't have an employer.

He's been without a contract for the last 3 seasons and hasn't played a single first class game. Not sure who you think is going to send him on a diversity training program.

I lived in the East. Someone once pulled a gun and threatened to shoot me for stopping at a red light! To be fair it worked, I put my foot down immediately!

Too much attention is paid to focus groups and the like and trying to make them something they aren't. Can't be a coincidence that pretty much all leaders, of both parties, come across better post leadership when they don't have the political machine telling them what to do.

Is there a limit to how many terms he can have in Manchester? If there isn't it must be very tempting to stay there rather than make a bid to get back into parliament.

When they say go down there are they talking about leaving early in the morning / getting home late so you can do a full day in the office there or being paid to sit on a train? In my current job I'm out and about a lot and what was supposed to be local only soon seemed to change to the whole...

How do you solve the problem of people traffickers if every country wants to make it as hard as possible for asylum seekers to enter the country? I'm sure clinging to a dinghy isn't the preferred mode of travel. Hard to tell what percentage of asylum seekers arrive that way as the Home Office...

I think too many things are being mixed up here. Are people objecting to the method of arrival, the number coming over or the fact that we should not be taking any refugees other than those arriving directly from the country they are fleeing?

Didn't Jack Straw try that argument when he was Home Secretary and lose in court?

What are the official channels? Is there a 'proper' way for those in France to claim asylum in the UK. We know that 'stay in the first safe country' thing is a myth. What status do they actually have in France, or any other country, if they haven't claimed asylum there?
