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?

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme
I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

no better evidence that we’ve got a couple trillion-dollar squatters holding the internet back than the fact that a company with 20 employees can make a better platform than Meta

For those wondering about an explosive-less IRBM:
~225 kg RV, reentering at ~22,000 km/h ≈ 4 billion Joules / ~0.001 kt TNT
So, a bit more powerful than a typical 2000-lb bomb, but the not accounting for atmosphere drag, angle, and that they probably didn't optimize the payload for this mission.

There are some unconfirmed that provide some clues.
They appear to show six "clusters" of munitions coming down very quickly.
The high angle of attack (aka from straight up) suggests it is some kind of long range ballistic missile, which would go high into space and come back down...

With new figures showing that more than one in three children in the UK are now living in poverty, with deprivation hitting a record high, it's good to see the Times focusing on the people who are really struggling

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

WOW: THE ONION has acquired Alex Jones’ INFOWARS in a bankruptcy auction, in a bid sanctioned by the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting.
Gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety will advertise on a relaunched version of the site.
This is not satire.
