It's going to be a crazy day in West London as Chelsea travel to Brentford whilst Fulham welcome Brighton, all with a 3pm Kick Off
Surely that can't happen too often that three clubs in close proximity to one another are in action in the area all at the same time.
Great work by this brave

Thoughts with everyone caught up in this major incident on the M23 at
#Crawley
this evening, including the emergency responders.
Can only imagine how challenging and complex the scene of the incident is.
Hoping the casualties have no serious injuries.
The M23 is closed both ways between J10 and J11 after a collision involving around 15 vehicles.
Emergency services were called at 5.40pm and the ambulance service is treating multiple casualties.
Please avoid the area and expect disruption. Thank you for your patience.

My thoughts are with Bernard's family and all those who knew him at this difficult time.
It's beggars believe that a 22 Year Old would want to attack an innocent and vulnerable pensioner. He didn't deserve to have his life taken from him in these tragic circumstances

Maidstone United are playing away to Coventry City in the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup this evening. Maidstone are the lowest ranked club left in the competition and the first lowest ranked club to reach the fifth round in almost 50 years
It's time to go back behind the station doors - this time at Middlesbrough Police Station, the biggest and busiest in Cleveland - to take a look at the realities of modern-day policing.

Ohhh I'm actually surprised they had promo bits in the first place. I had a poor experience with them when I was younger as I wrote to them asking for work experience and didn't even get a response saying no, just a wall of silence.
I may write to them and see if I get any joy.

I think the general consensus amongst fans from Brighton and Crystal Palace, is that it's not a Derby but a rivalry. Mainstream media however bill it as a 'Derby'.
Its been a rivalry since the late 1970s' when both teams were chasing promotion out of the third division.
Ireland don't just want the grand slam, that's been done before 😅
Could Ireland be the first ever team to take the maximum 28 points in a Six Nations tournament? 🤯

Good to hear there are no life-threatening injuries following this evenings multi-vehicle collision on the M23.
Hope those injured make a full and speedy recovery.
The southbound carriageway of the M23 has reopened after a collision involving multiple vehicles.
Junctions 10 and 11 northbound remain closed.
Around 34 people are being treated by the ambulance service, with no life-threatening injuries.
Please continue to avoid the area.

Question for all my police followers...
A friend of mine who works in retail has asked whether or not it's true that if a shop has no cctv, the police won't be able to do anything about the shoplifter even though the shopping centre the shop is in has CCTV?
Thanks in advance :)
Tragic news!
Thoughts are with the teenagers family and friends at this difficult time.
Thoughts also with all the emergency services & partner agencies who responded to this incident and worked tirelessly since last night to try and find the person in the water.
