How about we fix the police so that homeowners and occupants aren’t at risk if the police show up? Swatting shouldn’t be a thing if police are responsible

I have enjoyed this last year of photographing Glastonbury Tor in all weathers. I think to sum it up for me, it is a passion and I truly feel a connection with this magical place like I know many others do. These are a few of my favourites. Have a fab New Years Eve.

However imperfect the honours system, it’s indefensible that an outgoing PM can allocate - purely on the basis of favoritism or mere whim - honours which others get only after independent assessment & validation. And their ability to nominate peers for life is most indefensible of all

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is really straightforward. The failure to apply its provisions up to this point has had (and will continue to have) terribly corrosive consequences for what remains of democracy in the US.
