There are times I wonder about the way way the Guardian arranges its articles on the digital front page. Sometimes it looks random, other times, possibly very deliberate. Couldn't possibly be suggesting...

Is it too much to hope that he takes Isabel Euphemia Oakeshott down with him? (Assuming, of course, that she really has done something illegal and reprehensible.)

Can you imagine the security services, who are investigating who the prime leaker is, ignoring this idiot? Mind, it makes sense that his motiviation was to develop his career. Utterly without regard to the costs to everyone else. "Self-serving" seems quite appropriate for the activities of all...

Eddie Mair's comment to and about BJ comes to mind - ready to be re-used? Brexit funder Arron Banks threatens Netflix over Great Hack documentary Legal threat comes as campaigners warn UK government that courts are being used to intimidate journalists The businessman Arron Banks and the...

Hasn't Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe suffered enough?

Even if that means NI preferring to join the republic? Followed by Scotland at least campaigning hard to leave the union.

For some time I found that my journeys often dragged me towards the M25. For example, Hampshire to Nottingham. Although the M25 wasn't quite a straight route, it was at that time better than the alternatives. The lack of good alternatives 20, 30 or 40 miles out ended up making it busier.

Thankfully, even the longest range Vulcans don't have the range to get him there AND back without refuelling. ;)

Cue Liza and Henry.

Have you noticed the justification seems to have changed? Seems to say the biggest benefit will come about from the freeing up of capacity on the existing lines. The headline speed for the project has long seemed a nonsense. The massively greater fuel usage (whether considered as electricity...

There are many arguments in favour of other options such as hydrogen - if the technology can reach maturity. Like not having to haul a heavy battery around.

The litany of companies that have gone bankrupt, or at least been taken over or bailed out when on the brink, should make that the sort of statement no-one makes. All too often at least significantly due to poor management.

The problems just seem to keep growing: Revenue chief who received death threats over Brexit steps down Jon Thompson is set for new role in Whitehall as head of Financial Reporting Council

If you get some medicine supplied, for example, an antihistamine for hayfever, I assume you will be charged? Whereas through a GP, it would be on prescription. Which for many of us (those not in England, over 60, or exempt for some other reason) might be without charge. Given that some...

At last! Do you think he'll go on a cruise holiday - with a cruise company that has no ships? Exit Failing Grayling: the £3bn master of disaster bows out The future ex-transport secretary will not thank his deputy for saying his ‘track record speaks for itself’ Stop all the clocks, cut off...

Afraid I disagree. That would be a reason, an excuse. There is no excuse and the only reason is that he is entirely self-centred and unable and unwilling to behave in an acceptable manner because he perceives advantages in what he does. Inasmuch as he is capable of perception. BTW - did he tell...

Many years ago, as satellite services started, I was very disappointed to realise that paying a subscription does not relieve you of adverts. Somehow, I had expected either no ads, or only between programs, not all the way through. Silly me. Why charge once when you can charge twice? Thoroughly...

Pound falls. Inflation rises. 80 billion then becomes all too possible. Let us see forecast in terms of euros, dollars, baskets of currencies. And in what time period?
