Good Luck Gus @guskenworthy

Why the funeral parlour? @bbclaurak

So overbooking is now a thing with @British_Airways from Jersey. Wrecked a connection and therefore holiday. Furious

@lewis_goodall Parliamentary scenes are phoney too as they abandon the protocol of referring to each other in the third person and a change of PM is not instantaneous on the loss of a VONC.

Hostage is deeply diverting but honestly so many questions Why is the French President hanging out in Downing St during an election campaign? Why is the Cab Sec taking the PM down to dinner? Why are the French pressuring us to to keep asylum seekers in France? and WHY HAVE WE RUN OUT OF DRUGS

@MicrosoftUK what's this all about repeatedly even with the right details ... ?

@amolrajan @BBCOne LOVED it, Amol

If you enjoyed or just engaged with this on @BBCOne right now, thank you. May I humbly ask that you please follow me on Instagram (and indeed TikTok), as you will get behind-the-scenes footage, lasagne recipes, running updates, cricket/reggae analysis… instagram.com/reel/DLVQ3aPoF…

@MrFerguson85 @PiersTorday Yes

Dismissing them as 'insane and dumb' isn't a critique - it's a display of cultural snobbery. The themes are timeless and the critical thinking around texts can also be invaluable - they speak to the present. Yes, modernise and diversify the curriculum - but let's not pretend that age alone makes a book relevant. Elitism in disguise, methinks. Do we consign the bible to the same fate and a whole subject too? After all it is 2,000 - 3,000 years old...🤷🏻

Speaking of the drop off in reading, I CANNOT believe that in 2025 my niece’s set texts for the already reading for pleasure-killing GCSE torture tests were Of Mice and Men and An Inspector Calls. Literally as if eighty years of culture has not happened. Insane and so so dumb.

@KevinWilsonPR Death Becomes Her is a riot! Enjoy x

A week in New York in June and KWPR's dance card is now complete with 10 shows confirmed 🇺🇸

@AXS_UK why won't you let me sell my @torvillanddean tickets for 10% or even 20% less than I paid for them?

Have enjoyed reading this book this week ahead of #Lib80 A strong @StJohnJersey connection and we will be featuring #Beaupre in our #Lib80Exhibition in May

@leonfleming You're a poet, lovely man. Don't let them get you down.

Very disappointed to have been turned down for some funding today, but more disappointed that I've spent the last two weeks answering in as comprehensive manner as I could, extra questions which made it appear that the funding body was just making sure it was safe to award... 1/2

I want to recommend my friend Chula Goonewardene's brilliant podcast called Empathy For The Devil. In it, he and his colleagues gently explore the stories of legendary artists like Brian Jones, George Michael, Amy Winehouse, Prince, and Kurt Cobain from a modern mental health perspective, discussing how mental health challenges, neurodiversity, addiction, and fame affected their creative journeys and tragic outcomes youtube.com/watch?v=5OeOMl…

Me and some of my books #WorldBookDay #Jèrriais

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

I am gratified by the number of Republicans that have reached out to me privately in support of what we were are re: Ukraine. I know how hard it is to say what you really think given the political situation and threats. Please consider doing so.

Praying for the pontiff - what an incredible man...

@KevinWilsonPR @dakotahotelsuk @raminkarimloo @hopemilltheatre @The_Lowry @Tomsvenhopkins @JanaRobbins perfect casting

In Manchester at the @dakotahotelsuk for @raminkarimloo in NINE produced by @hopemilltheatre at @The_Lowry with producers extraordinaire @Tomsvenhopkins and @JanaRobbins

📷 Went to see the revival of Oliver! last night. Five star sensational. I've seen three previous stagings but this returns it to it's bawdy, sometime grim, roots. At last, no celebrity casting just proper musical theatre actors inhabiting the characters. Go if you can.

someone at @BBCSport tell Dennis Taylor, lovely as he is, to STFU - it's not radio - let the pictures speak for themselves and pause this relentless monologue

@JamesBourne Stay safe James x

Ok I’m evacuating
