A terrific evening @ALCS_UK Film the House - celebrating talent & promoting the importance of IP & the creative industries…
We’re a big sector, and currently, for all sorts of reasons, it’s being let slide

Any other globally admired industry worth £4B/year to the UK in this level of crisis would be front page news and have the government stepping in right now. @lisanandy @RhonddaBryant @DCMS - I hope you’re talking to industry leaders daily about how you can help.

We need to have some clarity about the causes of the rioting over the past few days.
A 🧵about the rioters, the instigators (two fairly distinct groups of people), and the processes leading to the current unrest. 1/21

It's always like this for writers. However long we've been in this business waiting and not knowing and knowing you'll be turned down, but hoping and hoping and hoping... and keeping working and trying to pretend you don't care all the while caring with every single cell....

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

I was feet away from Liz Truss when she stepped onto the stage in Kings Lynn after making every other candidate stand and wait for at least 15 mins
Then she stood pale and still like an alabaster mannequin; even her face was fixed into a demented rictus. A catatonic catastrophe.

Time for the policy specialists to step up and the political correspondents to retreat. We need to understand what’s being proposed and whether it’ll work, not endlessly opine on whether Labour will face threats in 2029

Greens to win as many seats as Reform? Without the constant BBC and press attention? Or the billionaire funding? Or the social media bots?
The British people are so much more decent than their media
Peter Walker@peterwalker99
Blimey again! Green win Waveney Valley! That's three definite seats and possibly four, if they hold Brighton Pavilion. It'll most likely put them equal to Reform UK.

The election of the Green Party leader to Parliament with 4 MPs will be more important to the dynamics of this Government than the election of the Reform Party leader to Parliament with 4 MPs….

My former boss is now everyone’s
Here’s what I know:
1.He listens
2.He doesn’t claim to know all the answers & seeks expert advice
3.He delegates & allows people to flourish
4.He is ruthless when he needs to be
5.He cares about public service & citizens who don’t get heard

Tories have been wiped out of Cornwall, Oxfordshire, Inner London, Wales.
They have two seats in the whole of the North East and North West.
