The P&J used to do some cracking April Fools. My favourite was the Space Needle to be built on Schoolhill. Given subsequent developments, easy to see how it was believable!

If you could instantly be granted fluency in 3 other languages—not taking away your existing language proficiency in any way, solely a gain—what 3 would you choose?

This is incredible. Dozens of priority one calls assigned to a fictitious political car in just a week or so. How many incidents could have been resolved?

Police call handlers used fake system for eight years

Thousands of calls to a control room were allocated to a fictitious call sign to manipulate response times.

Slightly mind blowing to think that if Vaughn Gethin succeeds Mark Drakeford as Welsh FM, three of the four govts in the UK could be led by people of colour at the same time.

I hadn’t even remembered that Humza was doing today - a long day at the best of times - while fasting. Kudos.

My family and I spending our first night in Bute House after today's parliamentary vote. A special moment leading my family in prayer in Bute House as is customary after breaking fast together.

Well deserved. Been twice, and it’s been excellent both times.

Good grief, they should have gotten Bard to fact check this. Might have picked up some of the basic errors in the reporting…

Or you could just build a subway. Or light rail. Or trolly buses on a priority corridor. This is totally hammer to crack a nut. arstechnica.com/cars/2023/03…

Wish rugby coverage would commit to ending manels. Let’s get some of the Women’s Six Nations team on as pundits instead of Clive bloody Woodward again.

If you want to talk corruption in the SNP, it’s worth noting that one campaign is being run by someone who should never have passed vetting and another by someone who has repeatedly gotten away with breaches of the SNP code of conduct despite complaints being made against them.
