River Tyne. Looking upstream. Bridges & the Baltic art gallery in the distance. Fishing boat near the river bank. Blue sky. But bit chilly & windy.

Well, this was a treat. Really enjoyed it. Rosie & Gemma were excellent. I got goose bumps at the end.

Happy Bookshop Day, an annual celebration of bookshops, booksellers and the joy of shopping local. Where would we be without them?

My wish for this/any platform, is that we might all attempt to see the best in each other (and life) & find enough commonality to get along together.
Contrary to some people’s opinion, the last thing I want is to create enemies & friction.
Less hate… more understanding. πŸ‘

DIANE KEATON transformed American cinema with performances that redefined leading women on screen. From Annie Hall's Oscar-winning charm to The Godfather's quiet strength, she brought intelligence, vulnerability, and style to every role. A huge loss. #RIP

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

I’m defo late to the party. Only watching season 2 now. It is really good. Substance. Suspense. Twist & turns. Jack Lowden & Gary Oldman & Saskia Reeves are stupendous.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package.

Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage?

Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

This is a thoughtful, persuasive piece that needs to be widely read.

In the current scenario we need more people speaking out like this, illuminating rather than generating more heat.
