Yet again Surrey County Council has planned a planning committee meeting about Reigate Priory School during the summer holidays

For many parents who have genuine concerns about the proposed move this will feel like a deliberate attempt to side line them & deny them a voice

Cleverly timed (again) to coincide with the end of term. Disappointing that SCC elections were deferred this year.

Exactly Liz, nothing represents 'our national culture' more than Greek statues made in Greece by Greeks.

Brilliant test match. Well done England for such a controlled chase. Work for both teams to do to improve though - could have gone either way. #ENGvIND

Reform and the Conservatives have a joint campaign that London is a crime-ridden hellhole. (Yes, it’s code for their typical racism.)

So here’s the truth.

Rare chance to wander at leisure around Reigate High Street this morning. Struck by the mix of welcomes in the shops from a warm hello to being completely ignored. Definitely felt more at ease (and ready to buy) where I was acknowledged with a friendly smile.

For all the blanket coverage it's getting today you wouldn't know that fishing contributes a grand total of 0.03% to the UK's economy, or that it is absolutely dwarfed by many other sectors, like the live music industry, which have been badly hit by Brexit but are rarely even mentioned
