At this point, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Harry Brook has celebrated his ascension to the England captaincy for the next Test in a manner that has seen him suspended from the captaincy for the next Test.

Reports that a referee on FIFA’s World Cup list from Africa has been turned back after trying to enter the US for the tournament. Surely, this is basic stuff FIFA should have ironed out well before now. FIFA has been, as usual, contacted for comment.

One of the biggest causes of duckling mortality in this area is... other Mallard families. On small streams/ponds, there's limited food, and little chance of avoiding each other, and so females and even ducklings try to kill other broods to eliminate the competition. They're very vicious in attack.

It was a disgrace that the Judicial Appointments Commission engaged in a direct attack on press freedom by seeking £14,000 costs from a journalist. The journalist had to take contempt of court proceedings against it for refusing to comply with an FOI.
