The problem with Facebook is you have a lot of groups that are private, so you have to join the 'friends of whateverton-on-the-water' to see what's posted there. Local MPs (the smart ones) obviously will join and be engaged - but the media (and the whips!) can't cover that much digital ground.

Why does Ireland break out of the boundary like that, it'd annoy me every time I look at this map!

Yes it is (in the magazine), and it's a terrific read.

Surely that wouldn't be consistent with point 1, "I don't want to be a distraction"?

To be fair the men's game yesterday was particularly poor (I was in the crowd) - it was so one sided it wasn't an interesting contest. The Hundred games definitely can be exciting when the result could go either way.

2-2 is probably fair overall, but it is a little disappointing as England probably should have won the fifth test on the Sunday - and Woakes coming out in his sling today but NOT winning feels like we were denied the fairytale ending to this!

I turned off all news alerts on my phone a couple of years ago and I'm so happy I did! I don't think it's healthy for us to be instantly alerted to every terrible thing as it happens 24/7. When I want to see the headlines I can seek them out - it's my choice as to when and how.

Just to add an extra wrinkle - the delay doesn't cost the operator anything (as they're payed a flat fee for running the service), instead the cost of all those delays repay claims is met by the taxpayer!
