This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

When I went travelling for six weeks touring all of England's historic counties to write a travelogue, the first thing I noticed was that I quickly lost track of what day it was. I reckon I was a week or so before I had no Idea and suddenly I'd realise everything was closed because it was Sunday.

Hey, @BBCNews @BBCWorldatOne can you please challenge Zia Yusif. He's not the Shadow Home Secretary. He should not be allowed to claim that title. #BBCWato

Today is mostly about being here for the electrician who is putting in the new fuse box and the feed to the shower. Between keeping him supplied with cups of tea and any interruptions in the power supply I'll be trying to fix the pixelation on the artwork for the new paperback of #UnspeakableEvil.

Have you tried Threads? There's quite a good reader community there. You do seem to need to access it vai an Instagram account though. I've not seen another way of logging in yet.

I'm thinking about Ruth and Deevid's. They were talking about the legacy and now they are talking about it as though it's been decided but I don't remember a family meeting.

The Tories normalised all this psychodrama around leadership and coups. Now it's because an acceptable thing the right wing press is weaponising it against the Labour party.

Didn't I miss the episode where they got told about the inheritance?

We had a party at the weekend. By the end of the day I'm hoping all the chairs will be back in their correct locations around the house.

It's a stupid idea isn't it.

It was even on the catch-up playback.

I've always thought this was the case.

This all seems out of character for Brad, the person who is sensitive and intelligent enough to understand the consequences of his actions, and would sacrifice his feelings for the greater good.

I must admit it's not my favourite adaptation but now I want to see it again.

I'm planning to do the same with my stock of my old editions of my paperbacks as soon as the new editions are out in the spring.

We are decorating the kitchen and we are literally watching paint dry.

We have no central heating and the hot water has now packed up. The engineer is coming today sometime.

In other news, last summer we installed a log burner.

Apparently that song was written in Bushey not far from where I lived. They were two sons of US military families, I guess, at the nearby Northwood base.

Slightly disingenuous headline. It makes it look as though that's all he got.

Yesterday I finished the painting on the first wall. Now I need to remove the masking tape and discover what horrors lie beneath.

Still painting the kitchen. The first wall should be finished today. I think New Year's Day got in the way.

What if George has the exact opposite of the experience of Phineas Gage? He had a massive brain injury only to make a recovery, but he lost all his sense of compassion and empathy.
