@siobhanheanue @jamesglenday @BreakfastNews What’s weirdly fascinating is how often these letters are written entirely in capitals

I love this. How Australian travellers viewed what they’d find in England before they got there.

Uninteresting people sitting in front of the fire eating crumpets whilst it’s foggy outside. A place useful as a stopover for a trip to the continent where suave men are found.

Tube on strike, I dawdled to Paddington on Friday. Passing the old wrought iron sign for Pizza Express, I was reminded of an event 30+ years ago, when I got caught up in a drama that resulted in a divorce, two marriages and many changed lives.

It began with a heart attack 🧵

Just touching base - we feel the time is right for a press conference.

We have some experience with this sort of thing…

I have never regretted following this account.

Shocked to hear this news. Jill was passionate, untiring and super smart. As a baby political reporter during the first term of the Rann government, I was Bottralled more than once. But it was always done with good humour and grace. Vale Jill.

@AmeliaAdams9 Well said sister. You're marvellous. Jesus Christ this stuff is from the dark ages.

We're jumping for joy! 🎉

After 175 days, ICU's Pod B is now closed to COVID-19 patients because of lower COVID-19 presentations.

We have 6 rooms still available in the ICU for COVID-19 patients, and the ability to "switch back" Pod B to COVID-19 beds is always there if needed.

But there was also the very sad story about Kamila Valieva. (…) I was very, very disturbed yesterday, when I watched the competition on TV and saw first in her performance how high the pressure on her must have been. – IOC President Bach #Olympics #Beijing2022
