Idag fick jag lära mig tre saker:
1. Igår räknades som "dag före helgdag".
2. Efter klockan 15 en sådan dag räknas det inte som vardag.
3. När tiden inte står inom parantes gäller den bara på vardagar.
Okej, nu tog jag inte mitt körkort i Sverige men vem tusan tycker det här är tydlig kommunikation? Och tillräckligt tydlig för att bötfälla någon?
Känns mer som ett bedrägeri för att lura folk på pengar.

NEW: UK Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband has told Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov that he and his government are responsible for killing innocent civilians, condemning Thursday’s attack on Dnipro railway station
Speaking directly to Lavrov at a meeting of G20 foreign ministers in the US today, Miliband said:
"Let me say this directly to the Russian Foreign Minister: we all know who the aggressor in this war is. Let's talk about what happened at Dnipro railway yesterday. Only yesterday your drones attacked and killed 15 people. And there are countless examples like this of you killing innocent civilians throughout this war. We all know you are the aggressor. We all know you started this war four and a half years ago with the full scale invasion of Ukraine. "
"And Putin thought then he would win this war easily. But you are are not winning this war. Thanks to the courage of the Ukrainian people and the solidarity of countries round this table, you are not winning. If you had the courage to tell the truth and to do what is right you would tell Putin that he is not winning this war and will not win."

Today I am musing, as I have regularly since 1995, about how ITV got away with this.
Can confirm that this is a thing.

One of the real constants in British public opinion is that people think that it matters not just for Ukraine but for the UK that Ukraine defeats Russia, which spans voters of all parties and so no surprise the Government leaned into further support in the Budget
This is excellent, informative journalism and good politics. Full marks.
'The minister has very bravely offered to go through some of the charts from the budget'

American living in Oslo here- My kids go to a daycare that I could never possibly afford in the U.S. Outside for hours every day, daily lunch provided, weekly field trips. The U.S. could never.
Norway is welcoming. Filled with kind people and community.
Hope this helps.
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE
President Trump escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a ‘shit house country’ and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize reut.rs/3U1joSt

It's the same pretty much everywhere with rent controls. A story from Berlin:
True in Spain too. Every landlord in Madrid and Barcelona screens the renters now. This is an obvious consequence of rent control. The most vulnerable, ostensible protected by the legislation, are in fact excluded from the rental market: if you cannot be evicted for non payment, then you are too risky a renter.

I think @andyburnham wants to rejoin the EU. Not spin. It's incredibly bold to even raise free movement. Perhaps testing the water to see if public opinion on immigration has changed. The Europeans are paying attention
Mark Rylance is such a wonderful actor.
Probably my favourite version. It's much less bombastic than Olivier's or Branagh's.
