Absolutely tragic news.

Nobody should have to face any violence at work — and certainly not something as shocking as this.

My thoughts are with the victim’s family, friends and colleagues at this terrible time.

I enjoyed WAITING FOR GODOT at @TRH_London last night.

And I enjoyed this by @billicritic even more. A distillation of the dozen or more productions of Godot he’s seen over 50 years. I hope this kind of theatre criticism doesn’t become a thing of the past https://t.co/Iapv8w6B3h

I’m not worried about Labour tax rises. I’m worried that they are not going to be taxing or spending enough. They are in danger of becoming an austerity-lite government - socially liberal and fiscally conservative - when the world is going in a v different direction 👇

In 2011/2 MPs on the @CommonsCMSwere were probing Rupert Murdoch’s company. Result? 7 of them had their phones targeted – literally hundreds of calls from the company’s phone hub. This pattern is what @byNickDavies has been investigating for @prospect_uk (🧵 - 1)

If a Rwanda flight does take off…

Your bills will still be as expensive

Your wait for a GP/hospital bed will still be as long

Your court date will still be as delayed

Your taxes will still be as high

…but we will all be more more morally & financially bankrupt as a nation

A lot of the news is profoundly depressing at the moment. This has taken too long but it is very welcome. @SpeakerJohnson has put his job on the line to do the right thing 👏 And every other democracy in the world should be asking: what more can we do?

“The arts are not the cherry on the cake — they are the cake.”

Opening a debate in the House of Lords yesterday, Melvyn Bragg said the UK should realise the full potential of the arts to transform our economy and society.

Reliably informed this the moment when ⁦@RoryStewartUK⁩ said he’d happily serve in a Labour government -though I noted a slight rowing back in his quote in the FT yesterday! To be discussed no doubt ps lovely photo given we couldn’t see any of these colours from the stage
