During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

Local lad and academy product scoring a brace at 18 in the Championship.

19-year-old Lewis Koumas opened the scoring for Stoke City. 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham assisted 18-year-old Tom Watson for the Sunderland equaliser. Then Tom Watson scored the winner for Sunderland.

This. The most effective way to 'smash the gangs' is by offering safe routes for refugees to get here.
Powerful letter from the chief executive of Refugee Action in the @theguardian.com

'Keir Starmer has said “we have got to do everything we can”. This must start with safe routes.'

Surprising to see a picture of the place where I grew up on a CNN post. Penshaw monument is a folly in the North East of England. I grew up within 5 minutes walk of this. The picture is of a supermoon setting behind this iconic structure.
