From what we're now learning, I suspect Fairford is going to become a case study in why people shouldn't speculate about ongoing police investigations until the full facts are known.

This is Rick Rescorla. He died 25 years ago today, when the South Tower of the World Trade Centre collapsed following a terrorist attack. His actions that day saved thousands of lives and today schoolchildren in Cornwall will take part in a parade in his honour.

Two separate academics saying it's either fine, or actively good, to play music loudly on public transport.
Nobody remotely sane thinks this. We need more guards on public transport - backed up by more British Transport Police. And fines for this stuff.

How do the results in Greater Manchester Mayorality compare to previous elections? While Labour is well down on its 2024 vote it was significantly up on the locals in Greater Manchester, while both Reform and the Greens are down, with Restore Britain not far off 1 in 10 votes.

In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift.
The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics.
*If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

John Swinney needs a fresh start to political communications. Here are the kind of responses he should have given to a) Peter Murrel guilty plea, b) Lady Ross ruling on prisons and c) the media pen in Holyrood 1/4
