Eurostar needs to sort the check-in system. Our train from Gare du Nord was delayed by 25 minutes simply because passengers could not get through fast enough. We were there 90 minutes before departure and made it with 10 minutes to spare.

Parents in Northern Ireland want an end to religious division in schools!
The rejection of these plans for an integrated school is a setback that ignores not parents, but the Department of Education's statutory duty to facilitate integrated education.

🚨 Leaving the EU has caused huge damage to our economy and communities, but we don't have to just take it on the chin.
🇪🇺 Now is the time to rejoin the Customs Union and begin repairing our relationship with the EU.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.
