Astonishing price increases on the latest @AnglianWater bill. Huge percentage rises presumably to keep the share price (and executive bonuses) up.

I wonder if it’s OK to call Euston frequently unpleasant so long as one doesn’t: a) call it unsafe and; b) work in the rail industry. Perhaps @LordPeterHendy could let us know.

It’s going to be strange day I think. “The end of an era” one of my colleagues has called it.

I suppose when your party has taken £10m in donations from someone who says racist things you can afford to push three full colour leaflets through the doors.

In which @Middlesex_CCC thanks its members for understanding. Despite never asking members’ views and just announcing this. As for “it’s just 20 minutes from Stratford” what’s the travel time from Lord’s to Stratford? Utter joke announcement.

5 years ago Milton Keynes was dubbed ‘tent city’ by the media. Today, no one needs to sleep rough on our streets. How did we do it? A thread by the Cabinet Member responsible 👇 – at Milton Keynes, England

To give @msgtours credit it did not quibble over paying for individual rooms when the booked twins weren’t available, also gave us a nice upgrade on match tickets and offering compensation for an event that didn’t go as MSG had planned. Decent people.

Result margins in this series: 2 wickets, 43 runs, 3 wickets and 49 runs. In all 343 men’s Ashes Tests played before this series, there had been only 25 matches won by margins of under 50 runs or by three or fewer wickets (and none in the 1960s or 1970s). Phenomenal series.

Like virtually everyone else, I know absolutely nothing about the events that have led to the statement by Huw Edwards’ wife. But I do know that he is a superb broadcaster. I know too that he has a long history of depression. He and I have spoken about it often, including in 1/4

Then let's move on to something more important, like Johnson's phone, or Mad Nads and her abusive emails

I think it’s important to remember, as we wait for the Privileges Committee’s report that @Ben_Everitt supported a Johnson comeback.
