I've said it before, Portugal need to organise a fake World Cup for Cristiano Ronaldo during the real thing so he believes he's playing against DR Congo when all the players are actors. Genuinely think he'd fall for it, not sure he knows who any of his teammates are anyway.

Confirmed again, for a fourth time: the greatest anti-dementia treatment ever discovered is the Shingles vaccine.
Jun 15
Yet another study shows a 24% reduced risk of dementia after the Shingles vaccine. This one in over 500,000 participants with a recent skilled nursing facility stay, adding to 4 huge natural experiments in 4 countries (US, Canada, Wales, and Australia)

The deal with Iran will go down as one of the most incompetent ever made. The U.S. lost on virtually every point. We just don't win anymore!

Fixed this misleading headline for @BBCEssex because "the BBC seeks to establish the truth and use the highest reporting standards to provide coverage that is fair and accurate." The amount of times I see "tunnels" inaccurately reported by @BBC is unreal

.@willnorman’s line now is they have “much more to do”. Since he became London’s Cycling Commissioner and started doing things, the number of serious cyclist injuries has increased by 75%. The rate of serious injury per journey is trending up.

Putting aside this case, everybody should read this report by @nickwallis.
The appalling, chaotic conditions he describes are all too familiar in the magistrates’ courts.
This is how @DavidLammy wishes for serious crimes - carrying up to 2 years in prison - to be tried.

Matthew Heath should have been on trial yesterday for the harassment of Stephanie Hayden. Farcical scenes at court mean the trial couldn't even begin. My write up of the events:

Before I condemn this disgusting act of Russian aggression, have we got confirmation it wasn't Michelle Mone's yacht?

Far too often, we see housing developers using viability assessments to duck out of building the affordable homes that our communities so desperately need.
Today in Parliament, I urged the Housing Minister to give local planning authorities the power to stop this from happening

But what happened?
Where’s that tough son of a bitch who used to peek over Putin’s shoulder and squeal through his moustache that he’d reach the English Channel three days after taking Kyiv?

Always adept at perceiving trends, the Dictator of Belarus says that he "shouldn't have spoken so harshly" to Zelensky and that assures there will be no military action.
If you ever want to know which way the wind blows, just see who Luka is siding with on a given day.

No learning, no seizing the chance to improve the Bill: just brute force, turning the process into the crudest possible contest of strength, a kind of arm wrestle.
The worst possible way to go about legislating on such an important, sensitive and nuanced matter.

Lauren Edwards confirms her intention is not to offer any amendments in the House of Commons.
And the first lie: The Impact Assessment did not "ensure" the Bill "was workable, effective and enforceable". No assurance given. And no consideration of safety!
