If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret

[BBC Singers @BBCSingers]

"On behalf of us all, Happy Birthday and thank you."

This week we celebrate 100 years of making music. A few friends stopped by to share their thoughts on our Centenary Celebrations. 🎉

Do you have a favourite memory of the BBC Singers?

More than 4 million people under 25 aren’t registered to vote.

If you’re fed up of being ignored by national politics do something about it: https://t.co/KTZjtu8UK9

The news will be all about Galloway today - that’s why the government published these 13 immigration inspection reports in one go yesterday, to bury them.

But the scale & degree of chaos, mismanagement, dereliction of duty & incompetence they reveal is astounding, truly #r4today

Honestly, just make the #VAR and refereeing like in rugby. It's been long enough.

[Andy Goode @AndyGoode10]

The time is now to act and help tier 2 nations close the gap by playing more fixtures every year. Have a read of my @RugbyPass column on why we need to stop the self-interest and short-termism and collaborate before the game dies a slow death

trying to tell myself i'm cultured because i listen to radio 3 in the car but then this happens

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

This is an NHS trust advertising for a non doctor to be employed on the consultant on-call rota.

I’m unclear if this is due to the national shortage of consultants in so many medical specialities, or an attempt to save money, but how can this possibly not risk patient safety?

let me make you my special

Something has shifted in the public mood regarding refugees. I've been tweeting about refugees for many years but never before received such an upswell of sympathy, and near universal condemnation of the government's callous approach. Thank U to everyone for your positive tweets!

New mews housing in Hatfield. So simple yet well designed & built. This consistently polls incredibly well in visual preference surveys.

There are big changes coming for new students from England.

EUROPEAN TREE FROGS IN BRITAIN
A thread 🧵

[Love Britain, Hate Tories ℹ @realtoryparty]

You MUST listen to this.

A lady called Philipa Bateman phoned in to "BBC Any Answers" last week and talked about her experience of the lockdown and her opinion of @BorisJohnson.

WARNING ⚠️ this is POWERFUL!

Please share.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеле��ський @ZelenskyyUa]

13-year-old Dmytro from Kharkiv, 4-year-old Lisa from Vinnytsia, Serhii from Novosolone who was just 2 days old. They are among five hundred innocent children whose lives were destroyed by Russia's onslaught.

Many of them could have become famous scholars, artists, sports champions, contributing to Ukraine's history.
They fell victim to the enemy's missiles and hate, which keep ravaging and claiming lives of young Ukrainians.

It is still impossible to establish the exact number of injured children due to active hostilities and the temporary occupation of a part of the Ukrainian territory.

We must hold out and win this war! All of Ukraine, all our people, all our children must be free from the Russian terror!

It is with deep sadness that Chester Music announces the death of Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho.
