Ballard Lines

This was wonderful. A new musical tracing a women’s history and love of ballards from 1600’s Scotland through Ireland, the Appalachian Mountains and finally New York. Moving, funny and with breathtaking voices.

Jim Ratcliffe, a tax resident of Monaco who has legally avoided an estimated £4 billion in UK taxes, says,

"The UK is being colonised by immigrants, isn't it?"

Ed Conway, "You met recently with Nigel Farage, didn't you?"

Jim Ratcliffe, "I did"

This was rather whimsical and touching. Jenna Russell was very good in the role of the wife left behind. The darker edge running through the show crept up on me. Great performances and staging

Every four years I become slightly obsessed with the Winter Olympics, becoming an expert in everything, and then forget it all as soon as it’s over.

Just switched on Winter Olympics women’s downhill skiing and seen a horrific crash. Everyone looks and sounds horribly shaken.

A green chocolate boxes with a golden ribbon and full of various shiny chocolates.

February is here, which somehow makes Valentine’s Day feel suddenly very close.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, my chocolate boxes are always a good bet. 🍫
They make a lovely Valentine’s gift, whether it’s for someone else or very deliberately for yourself.

Curtain call for Man & Boy featuring Ben Daniels and Laurie Kynastan

Man & Boy

After seeing and then being in a Rattigan play, I couldn’t resist this one especially as it started Ben Daniels, whom I’d seen in Medea. He has such stage presence. Laurie Kynastan was great too. Play is dark and demands your focus.

Nigel Farage announces plans to slash vital benefit to fund 5p cheaper pints Nigel Farage's party had promised to back scrapping the two-child benefit limit, but now Reform intends to funnel the support to the most vulnerable into slashing prices in pubs

Nigel Farage is going to "save pubs" by cutting 5p off the price of a pint of beer...

The £3 billion cost will be funded by reinstating the two-child benefit limit.

This might be the worst policy anyone has ever come up with.

It’s the Epstein files deja vu: how many more powerful men knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway? | Marina Hyde I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Local Panto. Real community feel, which is maybe what Panto should be. It was fun, but at the same time it was a touch overlong. Should be said I had a rotten headache and the room was stuffy so I wasn’t at my appreciative best.

The thing is, you didn't have to be Nostradamus to see it. You just had to be independent of the ultra-rich. Unfortunately, the great majority of the media is in the plutocrats' pockets. So the people pointing it out are shunned. In 2009 I tried and tried to get the BBC to pick this up. But ...⛔🤐

Goodwin literally had a hissy fit when Alan Rusbridger & David Aaronovitch went for dinner after an event they all did together & chose not to ask him. He’s palpably desperate to go to fictional dinner parties that exist only in his warped imagination. Instead he gets to suck lemons with 30p Lee.

Saw this in December - so funny!

I loved Wizard of Earthsea!

Have you tried Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch- they’re a realistic fantasy set of books.

PG Wodehouse books are very silly and fun.

Yes, I agree. I have recently wasted so much time watching reels and stuff. It’s getting better but I was having to drag myself away from a screen to pick up a book.
