Rosie Jones was excellent in tonight's Call the Midwife. Who knew she was such a good dramatic actress?

Good for Alok Sharma for spelling out what was obvious to anyone who gave it any serious thought: the government's public justification for these new licences is complete bullshit. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

A message to all the Tories ahead of the Commons Vote on new oil & gas licenses. There’s no use being loyal to a leader who won’t be at the helm very soon. If you still have a conscience, or any idea about the #ClimateCrisis, do the right thing today. Be on the right side of

After the effect of 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office', let’s hope Toby Jones is also working on new TV dramas about water pollution, climate change, covid, PPE contracts, the refugee crisis, the cost of living, energy prices, and the NHS
