The point is that not all offences are of equal gravity. The recall petition process is cumbersome but the threshold of custody makes good sense.

One of my more Alan Partridge views (of many, I'll admit that) is that Gatwick is the best of the London Airports.

Its elegant perimeter road, its state-of-the-art monorail system, its kerosene-stuffed aeroplanes soaring overhead like aluminium eagles. It’s the London airport it’s OK to like.

So would you summarily dismiss an MP for driving without due care and attention, or speeding?

Both criminal offences but not *quite* so bad.

A murder on campus. A plucky PhD student and her reluctant supervisor procrastinate by turning detective. That's 'Publish or Perish', tonight at nine, on ITV.

My YouTube feed is 90% cooking shows and has been for a decade. I love cooking. Chicken/egg scenario.

After graduating into the peak of COVID and scratching around for employment, WFH 5 days seems like hell to me.

Go see your colleagues! They're alright usually.

It's felt more "reality" than previous years. Sad.

Do we think the King has ever read a Jilly Cooper novel?

I enjoy the split between "philosophical" and "religious" here.

We profoundly object to the Meno, so we simply had to homeschool.

Please write this! I must have heard the phrase "laser-like focus" a million times.
