I really like tonight's #AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall script. It's by @RobinFrench2, a new writer in the #ACGAS family & it's beautifully true and touching, especially about Carmody.
We also welcome the great Juliet Aubrey as Miss Grantley, together with her captivating pygmy goats
Today, The Guardian dedicates several pages to voices from the ground in Gaza.
I am very grateful to those who spoke to me, in impossible circumstances, from tents and pavements and street corners. All the interview are in print today.

Up to 21,000 children are estimated to be missing in #Gaza.
We may never know what happened to some of these children.
But every one of them had a story, a family, & dreams stolen from them💔#CeasefireNow

Up to 21,000 Palestinian children are estimated to be missing in the Gaza Strip, Save the Children said on Monday.
They include 4,000 who are likely trapped under the rubble and presumed dead and 17,000 who are unaccompanied and separated from their families, the charity said.
An unknown number are buried in unmarked graves, while others have been forcibly disappeared by Israeli forces, including those “detained and forcibly transferred out of Gaza [with] their whereabouts unknown to their families amidst reports of ill-treatment and torture”.
Jeremy Stoner, Save the Children’s regional director for the Middle East, said: “Families are tortured by the uncertainty of the whereabouts of their loved ones. No parent should have to dig through rubble or mass graves to try and find their child’s body. No child should be alone, unprotected in a war zone. No child should be detained or held hostage”.
Stoner said a ceasefire was needed “desperately” to help “support the missing children who have survived and to prevent more families from being destroyed”.

Looking the public straight in the eye, Sunak deliberately chose to lie about Labour plans. Not once but repeatedly. Not as a slip of the tongue but on purpose. And he had been expressly told not to do so by the head of the Treasury. He’s desperate. He’s no better than Johnson.
@tnpcollection Yeah man. I only JUST got into this album, for years had been put off by the bass sound... Those three are ridiculously good - hissing, shades of scarlett and edith. The boho dance up there with them too. Quite a marvel.
Not gonna vote?

Sickening to watch Cameron attempting to defend the indefensible - turning evasion and obfuscation into an art form. Govt’s refusal to end arms exports to Israel makes UK complicit in war crimes & the refusal to reinstate funding to UNRWA is unforgivable #bbclaurak
Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy: more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic self-harm. https://t.co/jSRTtd9FYp
Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.
It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

Here is a list of the names we know from the more than 11,500 Palestinian children killed during Israel’s continuing war on Gaza ⤵️
