EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | Huddersfield Town 0-4 Coventry City Now, Warnock believes what is filled needs 17 points from their final 14 games to stay up. The Terriers are still in deep trouble with the championship relegations, so it's 7 points for safety for today's visitors from commentary. They've done most of their win in this season at home, though. They've got six of their eight victories in the Junior Smith Stadium, with a little bit too much defeat at Birmingham two weeks ago. Warnock makes four changes from a four-year period to Burnley, and now for the skinny, but they've got a little bit more concerns.

Let's take the Ruranda aspect of this, for example, mentioned in your thoughts on that as a policy, because it seems to have two question marks one is practicality is ever actually going to move many people to Rwanda? And secondly, is it going to be palatable to law if we remain in the European Convention on Human Rights? Both of those two questions, I think will come up in the House of Lords. Are they right to push back on Rwanda, do you think? Well, I think it's right for them to challenge the concepts behind the bill, whether they are right to actually challenge the policy...

Roald Dahl would be 'APPALLED' at his books being rewritten | Jeffrey Archer Good luck to the Queen I say. I think it was no more than common sense was it? I had the privilege of knowing Roald Dahl.

Geoffrey, on what basis can a publishing house change a book that's been in circulation? I think I checked. This book was written Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, writing 1964. Can they, well, how are they allowed to change the words that he used? I presume they approached the family in my own case. My publishers approached me som...
