First the Rugby, then football and now cycling. A sense that this weekend's Six Nations matches might the last big time sport for a while

More on yesterday's @ONS income statistics. For the first time, they showed median (household) income by age band. Here is change in that since 2007-08 (remember, this is not tracking the same people over time: it's comparing similarly-aged people over time). Quick thread: (1/4)

Very good news for all @BritishInEurope. A pity that the HMG has rejected this idea for EU citizens in the UK so far.

@Cardwell_PJ @robholley A former colleague based his application presentation to us on Buffy the Vampire Slayer as an alternative legal model - could you not write a paper on the Eurovision?

The key passage of today's Heathrow runway judgment, from a public law perspective at least.

[James Forsyth @JGForsyth]

Big moment, as I said at the weekend would be v surprised if the government appealed this verdict. So, 3rd runway looking like it won't happen https://t.co/kQLPmjKDeN

#law206 Student asked me a good question about the meaning of 'sufficient interest' today. This is why it is important.

[Colm O'Cinneide @colmocinneide]

Worth remembering when you hear criticism of the role of 'pressure groups' in bringing judicial review claims. That usually refers to NGOs like the JCWI - who provide a voice for groups like migrants who lack political weight (not to mention the vote).

#law3027 a tale of ever increasing change in government in graphics

[Matt Chorley @MattChorley]

More than 100 people have sat at the cabinet table during a decade of Tory rule.

But look at the churn: not just 10 housing ministers but 9 culture secretaries, 8 chief whips & 6 Northern Ireland secretaries

Abolishing the Lords and replacing it with an elected chamber of regions/nations sounds rather like the Australian Senate.

So here's a thread on how it operates and what that could mean for the UK Parliament:

The number of cyclists killed on British roads is at the LOWEST level since records began in 1927. There were 99 fatalities in 2018, DOWN from a peak of 1,536 in 1934. @DfTstats #cycling
