@SuterBilly @PieterScholtz Such a huge loss to the theatre world. He directed me and other urchins/orphans in a 1983 production of Oliver at the Sneddon. Gaynor Young played Nancy! Prof Scholtz himself was a magnificent Fagin

Congratulations to the @skynews editor who managed to get away with a record number of 0s in this alert 👏

Fire alarm evacuation at the #bankofengland. Does it presage an #InterestRates cut next week?

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

Feels very appropriate to be watching a live recording of the @TheNewsQuiz on this historic post #Elections2024 election morning

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

Erm, maybe given the illegal gambling associated with the #ukelection, this wasn’t the best choice of metaphor by one of our local candidates…

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

All politics is local! At the #ElectionJuly4 hustings in our town’s church in Dorking @nadiaburrell @_Chris_Coghlan, chair, @marisaheath06 @cllrLisaScott Craig Young @reformparty_uk

@brucebusiness All the best for your next move @brucebusiness. Sounds like you have a lot of exciting projects lined up.

As a fellow gen-Xr I loved @stellacreasy's Dallas dream allusion in this excellent, quite tough discussion about the choices facing Labour

[Oh God, What Now? – the politics podcast @OhGodWhatNowPod]

🚨Election Update🚨
If Labour are set for a massive majority, why are they still so cautious on policy? Labour’s @stellacreasy tells @Nndroid why the party refuses to over-promise – why Starmer won’t talk about rejoining the EU and much more➡️https://t.co/8DdZz5RHhD

Never take the peaceful transfer of power for granted. An enduring lesson for all countries including (especially?) the more established democracies. So proud of my former colleague @SongezoZibi and what he and his new party have achieved.

[Songezo Zibi @SongezoZibi]

The power bestowed on elected representatives belongs to the South African people. We must use it carefully and with dedication. We must never disappoint them.

The future of public interest news is a challenge no one part of society can solve alone. Great discussion @futures2035 #democracy #publicinterest #newsrewired

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

My view right now at #newsrewired. Great discussions and presentations so far!

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

The way politicians and parties in the UK mimic newspapers in their leaflet drops is wild; and the how some candidates hide their party affiliations is next level. Deceptive? #Election2024 #politicaladvertising

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

Interesting approach to hiring grads. Levels the field?

The Spectator’s paid, no-CV internship scheme is open - and closes end of the month.

Not all of our potential applicants will be on twitter! So if you know anyone who might be interested, please forward the link. We’re growing and usually hire this way. https://t.co/S0EJ7hBD1O

Oh my, the #dog references in the latest ⁦⁦@politico⁩ newsletter 🤣🐶. Well played, folks.

Political pressure, conflict and market challenges: the decline in press freedom over the past 10 years is pretty grim #WorldPressFreedomDay #JournalismIsNotACrime https://t.co/CpcG6AduFG

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

In a world where trust in professional journalism has never been shakier, this makes the most trenchant case for why journalists need access to do their jobs, free from harassment and attack https://t.co/dWd6y4nAXn

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

Powerful argument here by ⁦@PINewsF⁩’s Jonathan Heawood about what we could be doing in the UK to support new, emergent local news outlets https://t.co/T1plxwvhfA

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

I think we can call it a day with the whole AI lark now 😂 https://t.co/VBjX7PUlld

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

Very sobering. If @guardian (not for the first time) @newscorp @Newsquestmedia can suffer major cyber attacks, small and medium publishers must be even more vulnerable https://t.co/jRSpXKp84E

[Steve Matthewson @stevematthewson]

Not the first piece I’ve seen questioning the term but some fascinating points here about whose interests are being served to sustain it. Language matters. https://t.co/HW6BdSEIKC
