Day 8 of #Coast2Coast: Kirkby Stephen to Keld - over Nine Standards Rigg. Walk up (and a last glimpse of the Lake District in the far distance). ImageImageImageImage
At the top - the watershed! And the (very strange) Nine Standards. ImageImage
Now in Image
But bogs to negotiate: and no Gollum to guide us through. Image
Through the bogs and down to Ravenseat Farm. ImageImageImageImage
Down to Swaledale ImageImageImage
We join the Swale - our companion for the next few days. ImageImageImage
Arrive in Keld. And a reward... ImageImageImage

Many will guffaw. telegraph.co.uk/business/2021/… But there is an important point for the future here.
This an example of how the current government’s choice of Brexit - and its insistence on treating mobility with all our close neighbours (apart from Ireland) in the same way as mobility with Mongolia - are economically and politically unsustainable.
The damage to the UK’s services industries, the reduction in the opportunities available to our citizens (young and old), the problems caused to business - all are consequences of the current government’s choices: other choices could have been made.

Day 10 of #Coast2Coast: Reeth to Richmond. Short day through lower Swaledale. Reeth is lovely but too many cars parked on the green. ImageImage
Along the Swale. Wondering if buttercups are a cash crop round here. ImageImageImage
Open country and pretty church near Marske. ImageImageImage

NB that Tony Blair was not received into the Catholic Church until after he had resigned as PM.
NB2: the process for selection of CofE (Arch)bishops is set out here. churchofengland.org/sites/default/…. One name (or one name and a “reserve for the contingency that it becomes impossible to appoint” the first candidate) goes to the PM.
So the PM’s role is now fairly nominal (though his appointments secretary serves as a non-voting member of the appointments committee, and his appointee chairs the selection committee for Archbishops).

Day 6 of #Coast2Coast: Shap to Orton. Short stage (only 8 miles). Not in Lake District any more! (Though in fact still in Westmorland.)
Limestone country, with views of the Pennines ahead. And a SSSI flower meadow.
Orton is pretty.

I’m in the “one the one hand, but on the other” camp on this (whether @CMAgovUK should be the new U.K. subsidy control authority). @AlexanderPHRose and @jamesrwebber have a good point but...
1 The CMA has an established reputation and credit with the EU and other trading partners. 2 It has a role under the U.K. Internal Market Act that means dealing with the devolved governments - and that complements a subsidy control role that will also deeply concern those govts.
3 No one really knows what resources this role will need: if it’s the CMA, it can move people in and out depending on work load.
