It's not 9am yet and I am hot and sweaty. I am the sort of woman who looks like a sack of potatoes in any linen garment. I'm search of superior air conditioning or a damp, dark cellar. #heatwave 🥵

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough 🎉❤️ The broadcaster who changed how we see the natural world. #DavidAttenborough

Following @NASA - oddly excited... And uplifted in these grim times. To boldly go.... 🚀🪐👽🔭. #artemis #nasa

A self-assured "Siegfried" from @rbo_org tonight: first night of Barrie Kosky's new production. Pappano in the pit. Orchestra: superb. @AndreasSchager dazzled in title role: loud, rich tenor, with humanity & humour. Pyrotechnics but not where you expect them. Flowers! 'Loved it.

@peter_levy , we should help genuine asylum seekers if we can & that includes help to join our communities & learn English. We need to tackle adult literacy, which is a different issue. 'Hard when resources are tight - but, quite, simply both are important. Wrong to drive a wedge

Going to need 4-5 business days to stop crying over this shot. 😭😭😭 #callthemidwife @CallTheMidwife1

End of season finale from @CallTheMidwife1 did not disappoint! Sister Monica Joan - a "woman whose whole life was defined by her profession". Juxtaposition of life & death; joy & happiness as usual. Great writing & performances. Tears flowing. Required viewing. #callthemidwife

Extraordinay moment.

Best birthday good wishes to top woman, @Siobhain_Mc - #otd 20 Feb. xx

Please join us now to #LightTheDarkness for #HolocaustMemorialDay 🕯️💜

“The debate around Jewish security needs to move away from higher walls around our synagogues and more guards outside our schools, and on to the root causes of why we need such security.” My question to the Minister in @UKHouseofLords on the #BondiTerrorAttack

Words count… these were not random victims of terror. These were Jews murdered because they were Jews. #bondibeach it’s right the Qataris recognized this as a tragedy.. but failing to acknowledge that it was Jew-hatred is wrong…terribly wrong… &facilitates more acts like this

@FXMC1957 @FXMC1957 - you are always accessible.... 'Just read the glowing review of your book on the Holocaust in @thetimes ... Timely. A must read.

@Baddiel You mean do we count old Hamlet (Hamlet's dad) ... Claudius drinks the poison. I did it for A level 100 years ago...,

On the holiest day of the year we are attacked at a Manchester synagogue. Our children walk to school behind barbed wire protected by guns. Yet some still answer this atrocity with “what about…” This is my country, the sanctuary my grandfather found after surviving the Holocaust, promising freedom under the rule of law. Today I pray for the victims, thank the brave who responded and wonder if that promise is fading. A community this small cannot stand alone. If you believe in Britain (wherever you’re from & whatever your faith) you must stand with us. Many Jews cannot imagine a future here and history tells us what follows when that happens.

Beautiful writing from @BoozeAndFagz - brilliant assessments of Wilde and the inferior Fry. 'Nails it completely. 'Loving it.🙌🥰 #LadyBracknell
