So the Rwanda Bill goes back to MPs again, who will consider it next week (even though it's now only Wed. eve). Talk of the Lords 'delaying' things does seem a tad forced given that it might all have been concluded if the Commons had carried on sitting today, or taken it tomorrow

I think I'm for the smoking ban Bill, as a very ex-smoker, still addicted. Accident of birth means one of my 3 kids will need to muster the 'warrior skills' of temptation resistance, like me. But I failed, many times. My other two kids will be securer with willpower plus the law.

Today's big match saw Shirley Town under-14s defeat their higher-placed opponents Old Wilsonian's Pilgrim. The magnificent 2-0 victory means Shirley are this season's under-14s Tandridge Shield winner. And Football's come home to the vicarage. ⚽️🛡️🎇

I’m grateful for this apology. There has been much erroneous reporting around the CofE’s involvement with asylum seekers.
