A powerful commentary by Sky News US correspondent, @jamesmatthewsky on the increasingly erratic and thuggish behaviour displayed by Donald Trump. It’s refreshing to hear a mainstream media journalist speak out like this rather than turning a blind eye.

Are you using Britain’s most annoying emoji? I'll hold my hands up and admit I've been guilty of using the👍. But having researched why Brits hate it, I'm quietly retiring it. See why you should, too, in my recent blog. harmereditorial.co.uk/are-you-using-…

@filmisfabulous I’ve always been fascinated by film archives (I did my dissertation on them years ago) and this is great news, especially as we have a family connection to the first Dr Who. If you have a nitrate film in the loft, it needs transferring to something less combustible!

A few minutes of undiluted happiness in a world that needs it right now... No one did Christmas shows better than Morecambe and Wise. I don't think this was a Christmas Special, but James Hogg's tribute to Ernie is so heartfelt that I have to share.
James Hogg@JamesAHogg2
Happy 100th birthday to the amazing Ernie Wise, one half of one of greatest comedy partnerships the world has ever seen. Eric Morecambe was a bona fide genius in my opinion, but the person who enabled him to express that genius was Ernie Wise. Indeed, when I interviewed Michael Parkinson for mine and Robert Sellers' authorised biography of Ernie Wise (called “Little Ern”) way back in 2010 he described the Leeds born straight man as “the maypole around which Eric danced”. I couldn’t have put it better myself. The reason I decided to write that book was because there had been four or five books written about Eric at the time (and rightly so) but not one about Ernie, so I decided to try and redress the balance a bit. The irony being that Ernie wouldn’t have given two hoots about not having been celebrated or investigated by way of a biography. Ernie's biggest fan as a performer though, was Eric. When Ernie decided to develop his character for their show by becoming a conceited miser who wrote terrible plays Eric was thrilled and revelled in his partner getting more laughs. 'When Ernie isn’t here,' he once said, 'I get a cold draft all down one side.' By the way, this is from Eric and Ernie’s first TV special they made for ITV in 1978. God bless Little Ern x

@BBCWales An absolute tour de force. A reminder that the BBC can be faultless at drama despite being at fault in editing.

When I first saw this I presumed it was a joke.
I simply cannot COMPREHEND what sort of dullard would interpret SAS Scandinavian Airways as the SAS Special Air Service?
AND THEN, senior producers actually put such demonstrable crap on the bloody screen!
God preserve us!

@gingertotty You’re hugely talented. I love (you) and what you do. Please don’t let the tossers get you down. It’s they who should quit. PS. Why does predictive text insist and turning tossers into toasters? 🤷♀️
