This wasn’t just a dig – it was a shock. Cambridge students expected pottery shards, not evidence of mass killing. Fred Lewsey reports

Mandatory ID cards. Scrapping jury trials. Calling genocide protesters “terrorists."
There’s a strong authoritarian edge to the Labour Government. With no plan to help people, clearly thrown in the towel in Gorton & Denton.

There was a weird shiny yellow thing in the sky so I thought I'd investigate it. I saw a charm of goldfinches, a brambling, loads of tits, a baby hare, and loads of spring flowers were starting out.
I did a lot of stopping to take photos, and totalled 10K running plus warm up and warm down.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services!
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Our local hospice is facing a funding crisis. Did you know a lot of their funds come from charitable donations? They are about to lose £800,000 of NHS funding. I can't raise that whole amount but if I reach my target of £350 by running slowly around Cambridge on Half Marathon Day it will be a start.

b) a 3D printer
