Spain has kicked Israel's ambassador out.

Another win for the brilliant Spain.

Keep on winning.

It is the first day of meteorological spring tomorrow, so I went looking for it this afternoon on the shores of Coniston.

High levels of water in the lake, low light levels and a gusty wind. Just a normal winters day in Coniston.

I think Ms Mitchel must have been to Coniston at sometime.

Even on a dark, damp day, I couldn’t resist a quick phone shot from The Terrace at Brantwood this morning.

Reform pledge to scrap the Equality act.

If they do so you can be discriminated against or abused at work, in education or in the public.

For Age, Disability, Gender reassignment, Marriage status, Pregnancy, Race, Religion. Sex or Sexual orientation.

Doesn't sound good to me.
