Football is actually quite good isn’t it
I mean it’s still no by election night but it’s not bad
That’s it I’m sold
Something which is bothering me- the lower case lettering on the Swiss shirts

Just me?
Penalties not involving England are actually great aren’t they

Yesterday we broadcast the latest of our pieces on the building safety crisis. So often it's supposed the costs for leaseholders are arising as a result of changes in building safety law now. But it can also be about a failure in building safety which goes back decades.
Leaseholders at Transport House, as in many other places, believe that their building did not necessarily comply with building regulations even when it was built- in 2004. If so, it adds another layer of deep injustice to an already unjust story. Are they right to be concerned?
To try to answer that we have to go back to the relevant building regulations as they were then-the 2000 building regulations, which on fire spread said: “The external walls of the building shall adequately..."

NEW: Matt Hancock has resigned from the government.
“Those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them and that’s why I’ve got to resign.”

Question is why that conclusion wasn’t reached yesterday when the govt line was it was a “private matter” and indeed at the start of the day that no “rules” had been broken.
Mr Hancock’s resignation letter:”We owe it to people who have sacrificed so much in this pandemic to be honest when we have let them down as I have done by breaching the guidance.”

Until this afternoon the No 10 line was that the PM “considered the matter closed.” What changed?

No minister was made available to Newsnight tonight to defend Matt Hancock, explain why his breaking the guidelines is not a resignation matter, provide an explanation for how the public can be assured he obeyed the law nor answer questions about Ms Colangelo’s appointment.
Nor indeed to explain how Mr Hancock remains a credible actor in public health messaging.
So aside from a smattering of questions to Grant Shapps this am, a clip with Liz Truss and an off camera lobby briefing (where No 10 refused to answer most questions), there’s been almost zero opportunities for ministerial scrutiny about these matters of cardinal importance.

NEW: Matt Hancock says he broke social distancing guidelines: “I have let people down and am very sorry. I remain focussed on working to get the country out of this pandemic and would be grateful for privacy for my family on this personal matter.”
At the moment seems intent to stay on his job, despite accepting he broke the guidelines of which he was the principal (and often fiercest) advocate.
There’s also the question of whether MH broke more than just guidelines. For much of this year it’s been illegal to visit those from another household indoors. Has that happened here? We don’t know. But legitimate to ask questions about it which means it isn’t a private matter.

Government guidance advising against close physical contact with people not in your household was not lifted until May 17th. Pictures of Matt Hancock are from earlier that month. On May 16th, before the restrictions were lifted, Mr Hancock said this.
At a different point in the pandemic in September 2020 Mr Hancock said that people should be sticking to “established relationships”. Many millions of single people have been struggled throughout as a result of feeling they shouldn’t be mixing with other households.
In May 2020 Mr Hancock said of Professor Neil Ferguson’s affair and rule breaking (which led him to resign from Sage): “It’s extraordinary. I don’t understand...I think the social distancing rules are very important and people should follow them.”

Reported that roaming charges may return post-Brexit back in 2018. At the time some said was scaremongering/would never happen. Well EE has confirmed today that from January new customers and newly upgraded will be charged £2 a day to use their allowances in 47 European countries
EE says travellers can also pay £10 for a “Roam Abroad Pass” that works for 30 days.

As recently as the start of the year EE, alongside other major operators, said they had no plans to reintroduce roaming charges (previously prohibited by the EU).
EE says the revenue will “support investment into our UK based customer service and leading UK network”.
