If those astronauts go around the moon and can find no trace of Lisa Stansfield’s baby then I really think that’s it, we’ve exhausted all lines of enquiry

Neither of these men had any reason to believe Jews in North London had been involved in a nefarious conspiracy to set fire to their own ambulances yet they were perfectly happy to share that belief publicly without shame, even imagining themselves victims rather than persecutors

@simonnread A good read, written by an excellent Read, about a great Read. Sorry for your loss, he sounds like quite a character.

The Guardian has published my dad Ted Read's obituary today. We were overwhelmed by the messages we got from his former pupils about how his teaching affected them theguardian.com/education/2026…

Couldn't agree more with @CitySamuel today - I too was a reluctant Remainer, but everything that has happened since confirms we made the right decision to Leave. Exiting the EU is a prerequisite for any national revival thetimes.com/comment/column…

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Unfortunately, my oft-repeated experience over the past few years is that the X admins reject even the vilest, most blatant antisemitism and even calls to violence in practice, despite their stated policies. @elonmusk

The replies tell a story, and not a good one. Feel free to get in there and report a few.

@tyswift55 @lewis_goodall Perhaps not, I mean more the general vibe of a US live audience show with house band, maybe more like a chat show vibe? It’s difficult to put a finger on it but it feels quite dated and out of kilter with British TV sensibilities.

@BryHard2 @lewis_goodall As a long-time American SNL fan I don't think the background music sounds anything like our's...

Ignore the cynics. SNL UK is actually v good and could become great. And SO brilliant to have some proper sketch comedy on TV again.

Green Party activists called Jews ‘an abomination to the planet’. Zack Polanski called a Jewish journalist ‘parasitic’. Mothin Ali celebrated the anti-Semitic barbarism of 7 October. The Green Party really is rotten to the core, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/OYN6rhm

@FabrizioRomano Yes, because De Zerbi and ‘long-term’ always go together in my mind…

🚨 Tottenham are pushing, trying to get green light from Roberto De Zerbi for immediate appointment. Always been top target for summer but #THFC insist to make it happen now as talks are ongoing. Spurs see De Zerbi as ideal candidate for long term. 🎥➕ youtu.be/IiM2LmobKQI?si…

@ZackPolanski @brunskellevans If that’s the case, perhaps you should let @afneil interview you so you can show the world how well-informed and well-intentioned you are, and you can pull apart all his hubris.

Dear Phoebe, I read your Observer piece this morning on the reported “exodus” from Girlguiding - and I was genuinely shocked. Not because you presented a different perspective to my recent Telegraph reporting on the problems within Girlguiding. That’s part of journalism. But because you chose to include the case of a six-year-old little boy who reportedly tried to cut off his own penis - after being told he couldn't be part of Rainbows (the section of Girlguiding for 5–7 year olds). Presenting it as evidence of a problem with Girlguiding’s admissions policy. It is not. It is a deeply distressing account involving a very young child - and, on any view, a serious welfare concern. Framing it otherwise is a profound failure of editorial judgement. You also refer to this male child throughout using female pronouns, including the phrase “her penis”. I appreciate this may reflect current editorial conventions. But it sits uneasily with the basic duty of a journalist to report clearly and accurately on material facts. I was already aware of this case through my own reporting for the Sunday Telegraph. I made a conscious decision not to include it at this stage - both because a minor is involved and because of the ethical considerations that arise when reporting on such sensitive situations. Those considerations are not optional. You will know, as I do, that journalism is not simply about presenting competing narratives. It is about establishing facts clearly, handling vulnerable subjects with care and exercising judgement about what should - and should not - be used to advance an argument. I trained as a journalist in the early 2000s - a good 20 years earlier than you did - but to my knowledge nothing has changed. Good journalism should bring clarity. It should not muddy the facts - in order to promote an ideological position. In this context, that means being clear about sex - a material fact that is both legally and practically relevant. I appreciate you may be under pressure from colleagues or editors to frame stories in a particular way - or to use she/her pronouns, or the phrase “her penis”. But that doesn’t make it right. Earlier this week, the Manchester Evening News reported a violent murder as being committed by a woman - one of many examples of inaccurate reporting around sex and gender. In this case, even the Crown Prosecution Service - the public body responsible for prosecuting criminal cases in England and Wales - also reported the crime inaccurately. So that’s two professions we should be able to trust to tell the truth - providing inaccurate information. Crime statistics matter. Without accurate data on who is committing serious violence, we cannot properly understand it - let alone prevent it. I considered raising this privately, or writing to your editor. But this issue is too important to be brushed aside with a “thank you for your feedback”. I’m happy to discuss it with you privately, or to support a conversation with your editor if that would be helpful. But I hope this gives you - and your colleagues - serious pause for thought. Because it is very much needed. Janet

It's amazing to remember the snobbery with which fellow journalists met this story - the idea that anyone going to The Sun could only be doing so with nefarious motives. The rush to take the side of the millionaire celebrity over the working-class couple terrified for their son

"Hitler was a failed art student and a vegan who blamed all his problems on rich people and the Jews. "If he was around today, he'd be attending the Green Party conference' Superb @LeoKearse 👏👏👏

Kate has written this about being trolled by scum for daring to ask reasonable questions of a tyrannical Iranian regime. The comments beneath it are heartening and true: Kate is a magnificent journalist whom Times Radio is very lucky to have. thetimes.com/article/baecac…

where stupidity and malevolence come together

Flashbacks to when @owenjonesjourno flounced off Sky TV because the presenter and I both dared to discuss a gun attack on a gay nightclub in Florida while not personally being gay. The lad has some VERY strict rules about who is allowed an opinion on which issues. Apart, of course when he, as a man, instructs women which of our rights and safe spaces we should be happy to give up to trans-ID'd men. Then apparently it's just fine for him to give his view. It's so hard to keep up with his rules! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@AidenTEM @RickGore10 @jroberts332 @tonymc39 His quote (2/2): “We do know that whatever is changing is ecological, so if it's changing one thing - such as the size of a person's breasts - it's making sure that the whole system is changing in order to support it.”

@AidenTEM @RickGore10 @jroberts332 @tonymc39 His quote (1/2): "Our unconscious knows how to run our bodies better than we do. Essentially, I am looking to utilise the unconscious process to make changes to the body. We don't exactly know what is changing because of the complexities of the unconscious.”

I am a paying member of the Green Party, and for the record I am more than happy — like other members, I’m sure — for Zack Polanski to use party funds to sue into oblivion any journalist or commentator who attempts to smear him. An early example must be made
