When people ask me about Corby I tell them that the Asda here sells 17 times more Irn Bru than any other store in England and that is a genuine statistic.
Do you know what else helps children learn: teachers who are properly paid and supported, children who are well fed and cared for, families who are not in poverty
This may be an unpopular opinion but what did Philip Schofield do that justified his expulsion from TV & public life? He had a consensual affair with a co-worker who’s made no complaint about it, and his wife’s been supportive too. Struggling to see why he had to be destroyed?
Always a pleasure to debate my old friend Jonathan Gullis, today on @bbc5live about high net immigration.

If you pay a man in a van to collect your old rubbish - sofa, old carpets, filing cabinet or whatever,
