On 10 Jan at 8am, 150 runners set off on the snowbound Pennine Way to run the Spine Challenger South, a 108-mile race. Among them was Sarah Porter. But her race was soon to end – not from injury, but because of threats she’d be assassinated en route by Taliban sympathisers.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

CAN 2025: la Côte d'Ivoire, éliminée et frustrée par l'Égypte, ne verra pas les demies
La Côte d'Ivoire a mis les ingrédients pour gagner son quart de finale contre l'Égypte ce samedi à Agadir. Mais les Pharaons, extrêmement efficaces devant le but, ont géré leur avance et dégoûté la Côte d'Ivoire (3-2), qui voit son rêve de doublé s'envoler.

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.
He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.
How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?
The USA is a rogue nation.

I’ve just seen on the BBC that Putin is pulling out of peace negotiations because Ukraine has just bombed one of his residences. Zelenskyy flatly denies this, but Trump says he believes Putin.

Scallop shell pie. Scallops in a white wine and cream sauce in a puff pastry case. It wasn’t as elegant as I hoped, but boy did it taste good.

If you live in Leeds, and feel like getting really angry, think about all the money the UK government has wasted on absolute bollocks in the twenty years since the Leeds supertram was cancelled -- because likely costs had escalated from £500 million to £1 billion.
