Been threatening to leave Twitter for a while, but yesterday's intervention by the owner of this platform, which can only be seen as utterly contrary to our democracy simply cannot be tolerated. Loved it here when it was full of bluebirds, but now flying to Blue sky/Threads...

Spent a delightful hour reviewing this excellent #edfringe show for @therecsuk yesterday. A five star treat, whether you are a history buff or not.

Watching @joelycett perform his show More, More, More on channel 4 right now. Not only is the delivery brilliant, but the construct behind it is mind blowing. Made me laugh and cry simultaneously. As a #lgbtq+ - person, and former Brummie have to say it's bostin'!

Sadly it's now time to leave #Twitter. Have met & interacted with smashing folk over the years. Yet I can no longer subscribe to a platform that now substantially peddles hate speech, run by someone whose actions and salutes speak volumes. Now on #BlueSky deactivating here today.

Some news. Delighted to be joining the @FT as part of this terrific expanded food and drink team. My move will come in a couple of months time.
