Diana Edwards-Jones was the floor manager on the first night of ITN in 1955. Di, or ‘DEJ’, has died aged 91. She became a great studio director on major live events such as Man on the Moon. In the 1980s I was privileged to sit alongside her being told what to do.

Zbigniew Brzezinski was a top US foreign policy official, not at all a radical, in fact the opposite. But he acknowledged truths about Israel that will end your career. Just look at this interview from 2002, when Israel was doing another one of its routine massacres of

Farage's entrance has made a bigger splash, but this raw emotion from Ed Davey is arguably the most powerful bit of communication in the campaign so far.

Break ! According to 1st poll just released after the 2nd round "stand-downs" and full candidate-list was closed yesterday, Le Pen's Far Right RN doesn't come anywhere near the absolute majority it would need to govern (289 seats) and is predicted to get only 190 - 220 seats 👏

The 4 million votes won by Reform yesterday are only slightly higher than the 3.9 million won by UKIP in 2015. The Tories were able to cannibalise those votes when the question was "Brexit Yes or No". Ironically, "getting Brexit done" has reopened the political space for Farage

Really hope this decision can be reversed. Anand Menon and his brilliant team have added so much to our public discourse, academic research base and wider understanding of one of the biggest issues of recent years.

Seems quite inexplicable. I'm not sure any organisation has been more straightforward and less partisan in clearing the thickets around the European debate

Listening to the Nick Robinson/Rachel Reeves interview on #r4today, I just think this model has reached the end of the road. 15 minutes of one person laying traps, the other person avoiding them, and a "scorecard" at the end. I can't think of a thing I'd learned by the close.
