A rubber duck that arrived on a Kent beach on Tuesday has repaired the county council's planning portal, which had been offline since 2018.

"It came over here and it just fixed it," said a council IT manager. "No meetings. No Teams call. It just looked at the code."

Cheekbone polling shows 62% of Britons "quite like the duck". BB News blames woke pollsters.
