Day 2 of BLF 2025 was busily buzzing with excitement and full house shows! We had such amazing discussions throughout the day, starting with Kasim Ali and Keiran Goddard, followed by Laura Bates' talk on AI, Jonathan Coe and Gina Rippon. Thank you for attending!

Unearthed video of Project 2025 leader: Trump is claiming to distance himself from Project 2025, but I’m not worried about that. He's been at our organization, he's raised money for our organization. He's very supportive of what we do

@StavPoleg @Deardarkness@ghazalblues@NewYorker ‘There’s a country
I took for a landscape I wanted to restructure and change, at least
in a film—a story I wanted to breathe
from the start, call it memory, call it geography, call it
the vast landscape of childhood or night—a thing
disappearing—a country turning into a map.’
@ss_plp@anthonyjoshua@louistheroux@BBCTwo I disagree. I found Louis combative and disrespectful, then switching to ‘chummy’. I was so uncomfortable, like watching him get a rise out of Joshua to prove what many already say about him. Not cool!
@anthonyjoshua@louistheroux@BBCTwo Why was @louistheroux so aggressive in his interview style? He isn’t like that with all his interviewees, it was like he wanted a rise out of you and then would play sweet. I found him disrespectful and have changed my whole opinion on the man
@louistheroux why were you so aggressive when interviewing @anthonyjoshua, like you wanted a rise out of him, just when he’s at a vulnerable point in his career? You’re not like that with all your interviewees. Are you unconsciously racist? @BBCTwo

On this day in 2015 we produced a scratch performance of Dagestan – a new play by @stevenjfowler set in the shadowy world of global security. It feels, sadly, ever more relevant.
