Curiosity filled the Cat

[Pride in London @PrideInLondon]

#PrideInTheCity is all about supporting inclusivity in businesses.

We recently joined @Macquarie for an evening of discussion with multitalented storyteller, actor and activist @bisialimi

Thank you to everyone who attended and our Pride in the City partner Macquarie Group 💖

As Prince Andrew's attempt to "draw a line" under the Epstein scandal fails so spectacularly, a reminder that the first Private Eye cover devoted to it was way back in 2011 - and almost five full years ago in January 2015 we were joking about how long it had been going on for.

@Glamorous_Matt @SHAYSHAYSHOW Sure was! @SHAYSHAYSHOW other very best - raw, emotional, channelling, and massively entertaining. (pic from stage left to balance...)

A bus driver has been suspended for refusing to carry passengers on a vehicle *adorned* with Pride decorations because it "promotes homosexuality", reports the Telegraph. Adorned? It had a rainbow number. No stickers. Not wrapped. No ads. Adorned!

@LeGateauChoc The Big Ones Get Away, by Buffy Sainte-Marie...
One step at a time
Polarity Hill
If the bad guys don't get you, baby
Then the good guys will
With angels on the take
And the gangsters in the yard
Hey don't the wars come easy
Hey don't the peace come hard

[Catherine Courte 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ @CatherineC0urte]

@SamuelMarcLowe @Jacob_Rees_Mogg Remember that every ERDF (EU) grant has to be delivered on a fully-audited not-for-profit basis by the primary contractor. Which is why BT, Virgin, et al objected! (yes, every ERDF grant ever...)

@robdelaney Coolest and most dude'y:

@WhosKateStrange The village of Tourettes (!) near Nice is famous for its Violet Festival in late Feb/early March each year. Not just flowers and perfume, but sweeties! Off to Hotel Chocolat for Rose and Violet creams now...

@robdelaney @WeeMissBea @Kathbum @TheAppleTreeLDN We all remain moist. Hopefully for 14 days.

[Catherine Courte 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ @CatherineC0urte]

@Kathbum @TheAppleTreeLDN And so too do @WeeMissBea and @robdelaney - but you missed the traditional drunken dancing afterwards! (best thing, probs)

@matthew_weaver Guernsey video visits made possible by being outside of UK MoJ prison comms security controls, so anything possible. Purple Visits operation run by people who normally rent out bouncy castles in Norfolk - delivers high security for prisoners, prisons or families?

@HannahEP Super article about Tanwarin Sukkhapisit - shame the Grauniad subs popped a 'her' in the headline, when you've been so specific about they/their...

[Catherine Courte 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ @CatherineC0urte]

BIG grants even! 🤭

[Catherine Courte 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️ @CatherineC0urte]

Great news for EU early-growth SMEs - bog grants for commercialisation and then equity funding. Excellent, pragmatic and ambitious funding scheme.

[Dario Mazzella @DarioMazzella]
