@DAaronovitch @BBCRadio4 I agree. It was really good.

Just finished listening to @BBCRadio4’s Archive Hour, Nuremberg Remembered. A quite wonderful and immensely moving piece of radio. It’s impertinent to say others ‘should’ read, watch or listen to something, but if you can, you won’t regret it. And amazingly, it’s free.

@dontlookdown_FB I just watched the whole of season one. Boy that was good #tedlasso #believe #toprecommendation

@dontlookdown_FB Be curious, not judgmental #tedlasso #waltwhitman #damnedright

@dontlookdown_FB I’ve ignored it for months. Didn’t like the title. That’ll teach me #ted

@dontlookdown_FB God you’re right. Never watched before. Now on ep 4 and totally hooked. Sigh. #TedLasso

Brexit costs UK £600m per week, says Goldman study: Let that sink in…

Great profile of my esteemed colleague ⁦@SecKermani⁩ and his brilliant coverage of events in Afghanistan. He and ⁦@bbclysedoucet⁩ and all the amazing, knowledgeable colleagues in the ⁦@bbcworldservice⁩ are worth the license fee alone newstatesman.com/politics/2021/…

Bare supermarket shelves and potential for supply chain collapse in the next fortnight has to be one of the most brexity things ever…. Right up there with pretending that that’s all perfectly normal, that it’s what people voted for *and* it’s someone else’s fault. Fucksake.

@rodcaird Olympics serving as a good distraction from this big story, Covid too of course - and too many journos now think Brexit is over/boring and maybe don’t visit supermarkets where this is obvious to every shopper.

Where is the news coverage of product shortages in shops? #brexit #COVID19 #nodrivers #whatsgoingon

The weather was kind and spirits were high and we had a partisan audience so all in all a really enjoyable 1st outing for @suffolkpipeband in 18 months. We are playing at Murray Park Community Fun Day Sat 7th Aug 12-14:00 hrs

Today we have published our report, The Future of Legal Aid. It makes a series of recommendations to the Government on how legal aid can be protected and improved. Read it here 👇 publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5802/cmse…

.@BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak have both been told by NHS Test and Trace to isolate. But both are using the “daily testing pilot” to continue to work. It may rankle among the hundreds of thousands also pinged and ordered to stay home that this pilot is not available to all.

@DrJohnGeraint @barrabest @MBhreathnach Brilliant
