@allpointseastuk What time does the show on the 19th end?

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

Would love to have seen this...

[Clare Flynn @clarefly]

Huge congratulations to @carolecadwalla on her victory in court against bully Arron Banks. Best news!

https://t.co/y3zxJki5EF Yesterday, I was lucky enough to attend a zoom conference, with other students and academics at City (and other unis), with President Zelensky. A great honour and hugely inspiring.

Interesting piece on Johnson.

[Robert Saunders @redhistorian]

Is Boris Johnson a Conservative? How did his party come to embrace him as leader? And why might his magic now be failing?

Find out in my long read for @RenewalJournal, published today:

"Let them eat cake! Conservatism in the Age of Boris Johnson".

My thoughts on our amazing near-win in the contest and what it means https://t.co/VtG8iQGcbb

@BBCWorld The power of Eurovision!

@ianbirrell @shattenstone Very moving story.

Such a nice guy...

[Sam Ryder @SamRyderMusic]

Still up in Space, Man! 👩‍🚀🙏Thank you all for blazing with love, positivity and kindness throughout this wild and euphoric experience. We completely felt your support and we so deeply appreciated it 💛

@BOGO40 @LaurensViviane @mikegalsworthy No, just pointing out that times change and we must change with them.

@des__cribe @RTLBoulevard Sharing the cost seems very sensible to me - especially if the contest ends up in Ukraine (which doesn't look likely at the moment, but we can always hope) ❤️🇺🇦

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

@Glaeweth @daro24041 @haloofthoughts Thanks, Emma

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

@LaurensViviane @mikegalsworthy Point taken!

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

This is a full-length version (the other one I just put up cuts out after about 2 minutes). Both stunningly powerful, of course.

[Hanna Liubakova @HannaLiubakova]

Kalush Orchestra showed a video for the song Stefania, shot in Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel and Borodyanka, destroyed by the Russian army. They didn't want to publish it before #Eurovision not to get accused of politicizing the contest. The video ends with a call: Stand with #Ukraine!

@MikeSouthon @PMJofficial @LondonPalladium Enjoy!

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

@broomoftrigger @AnneBillson @storvikian Thank you so much!

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

@joereed193 Done - hope it's not too late. There are lots of interesting things to say about our Eurovision win!

[Chris West @chriswestwriter]

@theJeremyVine No. We are doing better a) because we had the best entry and entrant we've had for years and b) because we are now in a new era, where we Europeans are all threatened by a common enemy. 'Hard Brexit', with its anti-European rhetoric, is now an embarrassing irrelevance.
