Charlie Falconer expressed his despondency over the failure of the assisted dying bill, stating it did not fail on its merits but due to procedural wrangling in the Lords.

Access to public toilets is a universal need that we all have, and we shouldn't shy away from talking about it. One public toilet per 15,000 people simply isn't good enough and, without action, that figure will keep rising as we lose more facilities.

England continues their World Cup 2027 qualification campaign, facing Iceland away from home in their historic 500th international fixture. The Lionesses beat world champions Spain at Wembley to put themselves in the driving seat in Group A3.

England are unbeaten in this competition in Six years, but can Ireland silence over 70,000 people and show that they have gone up a level.

I haven't spoken with him. Just keep playing football, that's what's most important.

"Well, number nine has already chosen itself, hasn't it? And I would say number seven has already chosen itself with [Bukayo] Saka," the ex-England man said. "Eleven I'd probably go with, I might even go with [Anthony] Gordon, but I know [Marcus] Rashford has had a good season. I'll probably go with Gordon - and 10 is a very difficult one, an extremely difficult one. "

The two which perform best across the three European competitions this season will be handed European Performance Spots (EPS). That means fifth place in the Premier League table could go from being a Europa League place to a ticket into the Champions League - Newcastle benefited this way last season. But will an English club get that reward again? To work out who are the successful nations, Uefa takes into consideration the overall performance of clubs in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

The England supporters on the hill in front of the heritage-listed scoreboard never gave up and, to their credit, neither did their team. But in the end, despite losing Nathan Lyon to a hamstring injury, it was Australia who prevailed by 82 runs to win this Ashes series with two Tests to spare. Needing just 11 days of play to claim an unassailable 3-0 lead, Pat Cummins and his men equalled Steve Waugh's sides in 2001 and 2002/03 for the fastest Ashes wins.

England fans won't have to pull all-nighters to watch their team in the group stages of the World Cup following today's confirmation of the kick-off times. The Three Lions were yesterday drawn in Group L alongside Croatia, Ghana and Panama and the start times have now been revealed. Thomas Tuchel's side will open their account against Croatia - the team that beat them in the 2018 semi-finals - in Dallas on June 17 with a 4pm ET kick-off, which is 9pm in the UK.

Croatia are the highest-ranked potential Pot 2 opponents (10th) and reached the final and the semi-finalis at the past two World Cups respectively but, with a maximum of two European teams in each group, drawing them would eliminate for England the possibility of facing Erling Haaland's Norway, who are in Pot 3, or Italy, who are in Pot 4, if the four-time champions get through the playoffs in March.
