A couple walking across Middleton Moor on an autumn afternoon. The moor lies high above Wirksworth in the Derbyshire Dales, and Derbyshire Wildlife Trust are currently running an appeal to purchase the land and secure a future where wildlife thrives.

[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]

1
SOCRATES:
Plato..

PLATO:
Yes Socrates?

2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?

PLATO:
Whyโ€ฆ yes, Socrates

3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?

PLATO:
Um, yep

4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then

5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]

SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?

6
PLATO:
Well
thatโ€™s more just a bit of wheel 

7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.

PLATO:
No.

8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]

So if a man were challenged to โ€œtap the boxes containing chariots to prove youโ€™re humanโ€ when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?

9
PLATO:
Well you canโ€™t tap any of them really

10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?

PLATO:
โ€˜Spose not.

11
[Bleak pause]

12
PLATO:
Iโ€™ll get the hemlock

SOCRATES:
Yeah

Reform councilโ€™s Nottingham Post ban a โ€˜massive attack on local democracyโ€™ Nottinghamshire councilโ€™s administration says it will no longer deal with local paper, in unprecedented move A Reform council leaderโ€™s decision to ban his councillors from engaging with a prominent local newspaper is a โ€œmassive attack on local democracyโ€ and a sign of things to come should the party form the next government, the outletโ€™s editor has warned. In an unprecedented move, Nottinghamshire county councilโ€™s four-month-old Reform administration has said it will no longer deal with the Nottingham Post, its online edition and a team of BBC-funded local democracy journalists that it manages.

cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows:

[Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them]

1
TOWER FAN 1:
Right lads, get ready.

2
TOWER FAN 1:
This is our time.

3
TOWER FAN 1:
The time when we remember who we are, and why weโ€™re here.

4
TOWER FAN 1:
We are the four crap fans in a British personโ€™s loft,

and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever.

5
TOWER FAN 1:
I know what youโ€™re 
thinking, lads:

6
TOWER FAN 1:
Surely this will be the year they finally replace us?

7
TOWER FAN 1:
Our plasticโ€™s gone all brown... I havenโ€™t oscillated since 2018...

8
TOWER FAN 1:
Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad catโ€™s sighโ€ฆ 

TOWER FAN 2:
Cheers mate

9
TOWER FAN 1:
But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists.

By the time they remember, 
new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon.

10
TOWER FAN 1:
So weโ€™ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when itโ€™s hot out...

11
TOWER FAN 1:
...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than.

12
[The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder]
PERSON:
APPARENTLY ITโ€™S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA
