Absolutely colossal night of success for the Lib Dems.

In the 10 byelections, the LDs have gained from the CONs, GRNs, INDs and LAB, with a narrow loss to REF by 31 votes in Babergh.

Scoreboard: LD 7, REF 1, CON 1, IND 1.

I assume the media will cover this as breathlessly as every opinion poll?
It risks being a mess, whatever. And even more so in the context of a 0-25 SEND system
Could go the whole hog and recreate the Department for Education and Employment.

Ten years ago today I drove into a mulit-story car park with my bike on the roof. You don't make that mistake twice.

Second 100-miler of the year - just two days after the first and couldn't have been much more different. A much easier ride back home with much nicer weather
Did my first 100 miler of the year yesterday. Fair to say I could have chosen a better day for it - headwind and heavy rain especially towards the end of the ride. It should be better for the return journey tomorrow.

I was only a teenager for 27 days of the 1990s. (The first 27 days.)
Just been listening to Right Here, Right Now by Jesus Jones. I'm not sure we could be further away from the joyful sentiments of that song with the way the world is now. youtu.be/MznHdJReoeo?...

Listening to the Today programme piece on the Merseyside derby. They interviewed some Everton fans as they left the ground on 90 mins. Who on earth leaves their derby match before the final whistle when there is only one goal in it?
