I'll get over @UKParliament choosing to publish the first register of interests after the election, a hugely important piece of transparency data at the arse end of a Friday in the middle of the quietest recess in history. I truly will.

This degree of media attention on parliamentary ping-pong for a Bill is unusual. So important to stress that it is a standard, normal part of the legislative scrutiny process. What is unusual (historically, tho not in recent years) is the Govt's intransigent attitude to amdts.

At least 14 of the most senior male judges in our country are members of the all male Garrick club, which bans female members. Four judges have resigned. Why havenāt the other 10 male judges resigned? We await public confirmation that all judges have resigned their membership.

Please @SouthWestWater could you explain why this road at the junction of the A3052 and B3180 Hidden Oak is closed, but you have no one working there? This is a very busy junction. Also, this was only closed by you a few weeks ago.
