Marina, thank you so much for this. Every time I read one of your columns, I marvel at your ability to control and direct, on behalf of all of us, your (out)rage and incomprehension into such savagely brilliant language. Please keep doing what you do!!! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

It hasn’t sunk in yet but…SOME NEWS. I am so profoundly grateful & relieved. Thank you to the judge, my stellar legal team & the 29,000 people who contributed to my legal defence fund. I literally couldn’t have done it without you 🙏🙏🙏 theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/j…

@carolecadwalla Congratulations Carole, this is fantastic news.

You won't believe this!

Ukraine’s spirit is just amazing. Their fighting power and force are amazing. Their resilience is amazing. Their musicians and music are amazing. Did I say “amazing” too many times? I did. They deserve it. Thank you, Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Dear Tory MPs/commentators/supporters… don’t you dare hide behind the suffering of the people of Ukraine to excuse your inaction over Johnson’s crimes. If you haven’t the backbone or decency to do the right thing, at least have some shame and keep your head down.

Our General Secretary and Chief Executive @patcullen9 has written to @Mike_Fabricant over his comments today on nurses drinking in staff rooms during #COVID19.

They broke the law. The law they wrote. The law everyone else made big sacrifices to follow. Then they lied about it. To the public & Parliament. Their job is to show leadership in upholding the law & standards in public life. Boris Johnson & Rishi Sunak must resign.

It seems like quite a bit of work has gone into the #TourOfBritain route to miss out Cheltenham. Perhaps it’s to avoid all the potholes that the Conservatives haven’t fixed… @BBCGlos @GlosLiveOnline

Here's me being interviewed by Andrew Eales about my summer course The Thinking Pianist. Many thanks, Andrew!

Good morning 💙💛

@Hardeep_Matharu @acgrayling @BylineTV Thank you for sharing, very powerful.Her courage still shines through the despair.

This woman changed a part of me when I first saw this from @BylineTV. I will never forget her. "I don't feel myself anymore. I'm a different person. I was a journalist, very proud of myself & glamorous. Now I'm a refugee" Everything can become nothing.

@getsetpiano @FaberMusic @YYMusicians @HullMusicHub I am so sorry to hear this Karen. After the huge dedication and vision you have brought to this project this is a real blow. I am sure it will be a wonderful occasion but so sad you cannot now attend.😢

Look what is happening

Kyiv, right now, not far from home. Please share it everywhere!!!!! It's not fake photos,it is happening right now! Chess-news.ru ретвит пожалуйста!

I’m just an unimportant artist. But I won’t set foot on Russian soil anymore, play or conduct no more concerts, as long as this war criminal is in power. Also I won’t collaborate with artists who openly support Putin. That is a painful step as I love Russia…

Thank you @schoolschess for inspiring our pupils since 2014. This chess cake was home made, every piece could be eaten and a game of chess was played before cutting the cake
