The BBC are constantly bending over backwards to please Reform.

I fear they're becoming a mouthpiece for Nigel Farage, a guy who wants to destroy them.

Iโ€™ve just sent this to the person who sources sunglasses for CBeebies magazineโ€™s free gifts. Consider us on it.

I would very much like to buy a copy and leave a review. Please indicate how I may do so.

@winchesterlunch.bsky.social just read your bio - how absolutely brilliant! Is this the book you shared with me in about 2017/18? I read a few early chapters and have thought about the characters so often since then.

Yes! Sorrelโ€™s family wonโ€™t mind me sharing this gorgeous photo from last month.

Her daughters are still in fine fettle - both with our extended family.

She had had such a rough time before us, but was fairly young then. Think she came to you in the summer of 2012? I remember crying ludicrously as you left with her! I also remember lying on our bed with her the night she came, promising her sheโ€™d never have to have any more babies.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

My family lost someone very precious in early May a few years ago, and I remember feeling offended by the blossom and warm weather when we were so sad. Now it reminds me of her.

We adore him. The little speeches leave my kids caught between outrage and hilarity.

Iโ€™ve said this before and Iโ€™ll say it again.

Cycling ending on ITV4 and going behind a ยฃ30.99 Discovery+ paywall is a travesty.

Look, obviously my emotional reaction to that press conference is to punch a wall so hard either it or my knuckles break.

But let put that on hold for a moment and ask, very dispassionately and calmly:

What American national interest objective or foreign policy goal was served by that shit-show?

According to ChatGPT, I've won the Booker twice. TWICE! I've never written a book, so it's very pleasing to know I'd be so good at it.

A lawyerโ€™s resignation letter for the ages, and that penultimate paragraph is an absolute corker.

I was beginning to worry about his mental health - whatever else is happening, being in a workplace where youโ€™re subjected to isolation by your manager is unacceptable and hugely destructive. I wish him enormous success at AV, though I wish it had been with Utd.

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"

saw this circulating on Instagram the other day and I canโ€™t stop thinking about it. โ€œWho cares anymore what particular knot they used in the binding?โ€ is such a perfectly expressed repudiation of the โ€œeconomic anxietyโ€ framing

How long until Musk decides Trump is a hindrance/liability and deposes him entirely, rather than merely continuing to use him as his useful idiot? Not long, Iโ€™d imagine.

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET

Your postbox is just like mine. The Phoenix on Thu, The Beano on Fri, The Week Junior on Sat. (I work for a print magazine business, but not any of the above). My kids are rarely without a magazine and I credit The Beano being delivered during lockdown with my son's enormous love of reading.

I agree (media lawyer). I bet those words went back and forth with various alternatives cast aside in the negotiating draft. โ€œWorking for / working with / instructed by / paid byโ€ etc.

Iโ€™d love to know why they thought it suspicious (as someone who parks in central London quite a bit and likes her shabby old car intact).
