Someone pointed this out to me on the other site and it's too good not to share: The Eagles had seven rushing touchdowns today. The Cowboys had six this season.

NEW: Why do we always think crime is rising, even when it isn’t? This week I looked at one of the big data mysteries. Britain is 2/3 less violent than the 1990s; thefts were higher pre-lockdown Why, then, doesn’t it feel like it? 1/8 @thetimes.com 🔗 www.thetimes.com/article/b63d...

Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888. Trump’s win was solid in the popular vote and electoral college. But it was not a landslide and it was not overwhelming.

NEW Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has set a new course for policing. Could it lead to a new super police agency for organised crime & terrorism? Does it mean performance targets are back? And is the extra £500m for next year enough? My thoughts, free to read: www.dannyshaw.net/post/cooper-...

I will remember John Prescott as the minister who introduced the Decent Homes Programme. When I was a local councillor I met countless council tenants who had brand new modern kitchens and bathrooms installed, often alongside better windows and heating. It was completely transformative. #RIP

A really important contribution by @rickmuirbskysocial.bsky.social and Tom Gash in @policinginsight.bsky.social to the debate on improving UK policing – the current national police structure just isn’t suited to the challenges policing faces. bsky.app/profile/poli...

Very useful overview of Rick and Tom's proposals. "In our estimation, the Government’s Safer Streets mission and efficiency agenda will be near-impossible to deliver without changes to the current governance and institutional frameworks." The saving are needed to fund neighbourhood policing.
