Ten years ago I gave a talk to 6th formers at a school in Harlesden about being a journalist. They initially put me through the wringer thinking I was a public school toff. Once they realised I grew up in the manor we were good. This is why diversity in journalism is so important

Colt Gray has been charged with 4 counts of murder after the Apalachee School shooting. His father Colin Gray is charged with 4 counts of involuntary manslaughter, 2 counts of second-degree murder and 8 counts of cruelty to children. Good as he bought Colt a gun for Christmas.

I'm going away so called Specsavers to order some contact lenses. They said it would take five days to arrive in store which is too long so I've ordered them from an online store and they'll be delivered tomorrow. I paid a lot less too. A spectacular own goal by Specsavers.

Looks like Mrs Pepperpot and her husband
