This thread strikes me as eminently sensible and nuanced

Some thoughts on the last few days headlines on the protests. 🧵
1. Gideon Falter showed up to that protest to provoke. I don't understand why he has not just said this.

Sorry I don't like Falter's stunt, don't like it at all. That's irrespective of how I feel towards the marches and whether or not a great many Jews have good reason to feel fear and intimidation and thus are actively swerving city centres at weekends etc.

It's hard to express quite how much I love Chucky but I give it a go.

Liz Truss meets her Publisher!

So loved working with Mark. The cleverest person in the room isn’t usually the nicest person in the room yet there was Mark Urban managing to be both. Terrible day for viewers. Thanks for it all Mark, as viewer and later a colleague. It was an absolute pleasure.

If you've had enough of experts, here's Billy Bragg. Hard to fathom why he wasn't asked to conduct the review rather than Hilary Cass, former President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health & Great Ormond Street consultant. I mean he did write 'Sexuality' so . . .

IMPORTANT THREAD ABOUT AN IMPORTANT CAT (with spoilers):

Most people assume that Andrew Scott is the star of RIPLEY. Technically he is. But in a less technical sense, the actual star is this guy: (1/?)

I did rather a lot of growling during the screening of #CivilWarMovie last night, but I apologised to the poor woman next to me and we had a lovely chat about it afterwards.
