Trying out the newly opened Sturry Road Park and Ride. “Nice to have it back” said one resident getting on in Sturry.

👣 Canterbury's ancient paths

📖 Perhaps the best known #Canterbury footpath is the one from London made famous by Chaucer, but did you know there is one far older and longer? 1/5

Really, LinkedIn? I highly doubt it.

Appalling scenes in #PMQs as Sunak taunts trans people (“what is a woman”) in front of Esther Ghey, mother of Brianna Ghey, who is watching in the Commons gallery today.

The PM has brought shame on his office and on the House. MPs are rightly shouting “apologise”.

Chaired the Joint Transportation Board this evening, first time in the hot seat…didn’t get to use the big chair though.

Another stonking performance. Dare we hope for gold?

Top win!

Did anyone else hear this in a Chris Morris’ voice?

Shame they couldn’t catch Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng in time.

Your periodic reminder that Private Eye is a better, and more timely news source than the ITV Drama department.

I do think the media ignoring a scandal for years, discovering it from an ITV drama, and then galvanising it into an partisan attack on Ed Davey, the only minister seemingly on record as having done the bare minimum, is a good encapsulation of the state of British politics.

For the hard of thinking, this is entirely down to Brexit:
1. We used to participate in the pan-EU transport network
2. We decided to leave the EU
3. We failed to negotiate being included in the continuing project

Isn’t it great that we’ll only have this one mainline for the rest of our natural lives now that Rishi’s cancelled HS2?

Get yourself a renowned Shakespearean actor for your ludicrously silly comedy, and you get scenes like this peppered in amongst the goofing and slapstick - ‘gravitas’ doesn’t even come close to describing Andre Braugher’s mastery of big speeches

We should call this what it is: an assault on mixed-nationality British families. The income requirement for a British citizen to bring their foreign partner to live with them is rising from £18,600 to £38,700
