I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.

The director behind the Wolf Hall series, Peter Kosminsky, tells #Newsnight that British drama by the likes of the BBC and ITV is in peril.
As well as asking govt for help our industry needs to help itself too. Is it smart to be making so many £100m shows when for that cost you could make ten shows like (ahem) #Unforgotten which can attract v large domestic AND international audiences.
