Three men have appeared before Trim Court today following the search of a house in Co Meath last year. One man is charged with 10 counts of rape. Two others charged with child cruelty. More to follow on the Irish Mirror.

This is wonderful
Best anecdote in Carol Thatcher's book about her father is when Sir Denis boarded a train at Paddington in which the only empty compartment was reserved for Rosewood Psychiatric Hospital. Denis travelled alone and in comfort as far as Reading when "all these chaps piled in", accompanied by a male nurse, who counted them before the train moved off. 'One, two, three, four ... who are you?" "I'm the Prime Minister's husband." "Six, seven, eight, nine..."

The End Game.
Full story: The Telegraph is making up to 100 job cuts as it cites an ambition to transform into a “global, AI-powered” business, almost four months after its takeover by Axel Springer "These are difficult choices that we believe are necessary for the future of the business"

I feel so sad for good colleagues losing jobs @Telegraph. It says it will focus on new revenue streams including “video, audio, puzzles, events, B2B, licensing, commerce and new products”. These people seem to forget that without covering news and sport there IS no product 💔

So Telegraph has ejected @GavinMairs a rugby correspondent of the highest class - in my career at Sunday Times he was a relentless opponent. - and a magnificent friend. Insanity rules

The great @donalmacintyre has a book out on the #noahdonohoe case. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I read it earlier this week. He kindly agreed to do an interview with me on our Shattered Lives pod. I could have spoken to him four hours. ‘The PSNI failed Noah’ youtu.be/NRxWZsGi5HQ?is=cdip… via @YouTube

Thoughts with some bloody brilliant colleagues at The Telegraph. Hearing some top operators losing their jobs. Awful.
