Dining, discussing. Reading, reflecting. The usual rigmarole

@skepticalzebra @jengleruk One day the closure of schools will be like the Iraq war, you won't be able to find anyone who supported it

@Nigel_Farage I'd love it see her insurance claim. "I wish approaching the lights and shouted Wanker at Nigel Farage but I failed to see that the cars in front had stopped and I went into there back of them".

Maybe Jasper Carrot could add them to the list.

@paullewismoney For someone on £30,000 a year it is the equivalent of putting up the basic rate of tax to almost 25%

@HarrietSergeant This is very old data. Is there nothing post pandemic?

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

@annemcelvoy Such appalling grammar though

@DavidHollidge Anyone with the right attitude and skills can make it but by definition it's impossible for everyone to do so as what would be the benchmark against which they are all making it?

Well batted Jack Nelson. 100 for England u19s. Came in at 53-5 and batted serenely

@AnnieChave We are all mortal. But in the stories and memories some parts live on. Cricket helps keeps it alive. Sobers passing this life won't dim the memories of his amazing actions.

@TheCricketerMag @GeorgeDobell1 Yet he hasn't spoken to the press since a few days after the first test match

@CamillaTominey He deserved it just for coming in a vest!

@WalkerMarcus The reluctance of restaurants to serve water has often had me wanting to take a cup to the bathroom so I will mark this down as a win

@NormanBrennan Did he take questions from the press?

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

@NormanBrennan You've got the timing wrong in this post. Police were called 1140 Thursday. It was at least 24 hours before the police told the public that a violent man was loose in the area. How could the police know he posed no threat to anyone else?

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

@d_mstephenson Whether 24 hours of police silence about a violent offender at large was the right call is a legitimate question to ask.

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

How could Ann Widdecombe's death be announced this morning without any context and yet it now transpires many hours later she was found dead with severe injuries and there is a murder investigation? Both facts must have been known at the outset.

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

@thecuriouscatt Who are you?

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

Appalling conduct but nothing will happen to him. It's how they roll on Sky News.

[Nora @NoraTheBora]

Ann Widdecombe has possibly been murdered, and @SkyNews thinks it’s appropriate to have a man discussing whether she was a virgin.

Why would whether a woman had ever had penetrative sex be relevant to her possible murder?

He then went on to speculate, on mainstream media, that it was a robbery gone wrong rather than politically motivated. That may ultimately prove to be the case, but speculation about motive before the facts are established has no place in responsible news coverage.

The first instinct when discussing a woman who may have been murdered should never be to reduce her to her sexual history. Ann Widdecombe deserved better. Every woman deserves better.

[Alan Higham @alanhigham100]

@PeterTatchell The police are treating her death as murder
