Tip for @British_Airways: When you fluff the comms for a launch don’t double down by telling your customers they are thick.

“We are in the business of holding the powerful to account... not necessarily for criminality but for the things we've been hearing about”

I have a feeling that because the person in question is a liberal BBC type and the newspaper that highlighted this all is The Sun… we are getting some very different reactions to this story from different quarters than we would had this been a Tory MP exposed by the guardian.

Ridiculously good column.

2130 and the park wardens are closing Soho square. Kicking everyone out. Utterly insane.

This is London on nimbyism.

Squeezing the life out of the city.

Fix it @SadiqKhan.

Between 1928 and 1931, a group of gay guys met on a beach to frolic and have some fun. We haven't got their names or where it was in the U.K. but we have their joy in these photos. From the Emmanuel Cooper #archives @BishopsgateInst #LGBTQIA

Genuine question: Why does Crossrail stop for 5 mins at every station? #ElizabethLine

One of the things I loved about Paul O'Grady's Lily Savage was how she was based on a woman he loved, not one he constructed from sexism or misogyny. Lily was a kick-ass working class woman I recognised, and Paul, excesses aside, got her to a tee.

NEW SNP leadership candidate Humza Yousaf just jokingly asked a group of Ukrainian women in Edinburgh “where are all the men?” There was polite and awkward laughter before they explained that many of their partners had stayed in Ukraine to fight in the war.

Wowza at @IsabelOakeshott on how she came to leak Matt Hancock’s Whatsapps to the Tel after co-authoring his “Pandemic Diaries” 💥💥 #thelockdownfiles
