It's been a long-term ambition of mine to write an Anglo-Saxon Western, in which Oswiu rides with a posse of gun-slingers through Mercia to rescue Oswald's head and dismembered limbs from Oswestry

That the Court has taken it upon itself to overturn a decision made in a referendum is particularly serious (also noted by Eicke) (4)

Terrific news - #apprenticeships change lives Congrats to Rob Halfon who championed this @halfon4harlowMP

Prisoners start as apprentices at big name employers

Prisoners at open prisons in England are to start high-quality apprenticeships at big name employers thanks to change in law and the Government's skills agenda.

Magnificent speech by Lee Rowley on freehold He (and Lady Thatcher) are right - no prouder word in our history than “freeholder” The ancient basis of our society stretching back far beyond Domesday - mission renewed

Giving people more freedom, choice & power is at the heart of being a conservative And that's exactly why we are reforming leasehold and freehold estates - stopping monopolies, reforming bad practice and removing rent-seeking The conservative case for reform is overwhelming:

This is a very dark day for our town. My deepest condolences to the families of the boys who have so dreadfully lost their lives. I must urge anyone who has information to immediately share it with the police so that justice can be done as swiftly as possible. @essexlive
