The view from my hospital bed. Tourists would pay a pretty penny for this. Just don't get me started on the "food".

WW2 stretcher railings are a fascinating piece of repurposed history found throughout London. During the Blitz, the government manufactured over 600,000 steel stretchers to handle expected civilian casualties. Following the war, this massive stockpile was upcycled to replace metal fencing that had been scrapped for the war effort. The original wire mesh is still visible in the railing frame.

Such a shame that 144 years were wasted on this gigantic stone turd.

We miss our final penalty.

PSG - ✅✅❌✅✅

I'd make PSG favourites now. Arsenal look out on their feet. Totally spent.

Stop looking for Burnhamism - in six years, I’ve never found.

Watching the mayor up close in Manchester, I’ve seen his unusual gifts and glaring weaknesses. Would he make a good prime minister?

Looking at the list of purchases I can see a mitigating claim of mental illness inspired hoarding being put forward. What a mess.

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Despite the reams of coverage of the Murrell/Sturgeon scandal in today’s papers I still see no explanation of the camper van. Why did Murrell buy it and what did he plan to do with it? Did he park it on his mother’s driveway because he didn’t want his wife to know about it? Did he ever use it? I’m aware of all the rumours about him but have seen nothing to give them veracity. The whole camper van business is not just hilarious — but strange. A friend who knows him claims it was to be a mobile bedroom. Of course he has no evidence (other than the fact that, by definition, a camper van is a mobile bedroom). The mystery remains.
