Very impressed with PrideandPrejudice by @RSSatMWT. #Twickenham's York House Gardens is a wonderful setting for this inspired production. The dramatic adaptation is faithful to the original novel and very good casting ensures that Jane Austen's characters come to life. Go see!

I think Gillian Anderson is a wonderful actor. But I just don't understand the praise she is getting for her Thatcher. It's awful - she is copying the voice and intonation of her latter years, after office. There is none of the urgency and passion of Thatcher as PM #TheCrown

@BritishGasHelp As our boiler wasn't working, I booked for a British Gas engineer to arrive between 8am and 6pm today. But we've now managed to fix it ourselves (there was an electrical switch problem) and would like to cancel the appointment. How do we do so please?

3/4 #Corbyn is trashing his own legacy and by not allowing the party to move on from its entanglement with #antisemitism he's chosen, unwisely, a very peculiar political hill to die on.

2/4 #Corbyn's response to the #EHRCreport was hasty, ill-judged, petulant and narcissistic (straight out of Trump school of politics): portraying himself as the victim rather than those who were wronged, illegally, by the party's failure to live up to its anti-racist principles

1/4 Having led #UKLabour to defeat in two general elections, #Corbyn has now set out to undermine his successor's lead in the polls and to ensure that the Conservatives will continue in government at Westminster for at least another decade.

Stunningly brilliant speech by @keirstarmer on #ehrcreport at today's @UKLabour Party press conference. Excellent that he is serious about tackling #antisemitism. But more heads need to roll, not just @Corbyn's, before Jewish community and its allies will feel welcome as members.

.@braun @remingtonuk I'm concerned that #premierinn are removing #electricshavers sockets from hotel rooms as part of their refurbishment. Are you aware of this? Is there anything you might be able to do to persuade them that this is not a customer-oriented approach?

Homebase latest: Mayor of London on Thursday approved redevelopment plans for the Manor Road site. Now it’s for Secretary of State for Housing, Communities & Local Government to make good on his stated intent to call it in for review.

I fundamentally disagree with RLB's premise that "we need to rebuild Labour as an insurgent force". Any fool can do protest and insurgency and anger. You win power, and get to change society when you stop looking like insurgents & look like a trustworthy alternative government.
