This, by Andrew O'Hagan, is too good to carry on reading on-screen. Off to the corner shop.
Chris Mason forgot to mention Brexit, when taking about recent 'huge shocks' to the economy that have left us more vulnerable. #bbcnews
So the last season of #Industry was pretty on-the-money, so to speak. Which is terrifying.

I am also shocked by the lack of coverage of this fire. It’s so far only affecting the Union Street buildings, but one of those has partially collapsed, from what I can tell backwards into the station. And it’s not yet contained. This is major and more than halfway down BBC’s homepage.
This is what ecocide looks like.
is this a proofreading error – in which case🤣, or an obscure Americanism – in which case, 😠? Or my waning cognitive ability, in which case: 😨? #nytimesgames
“Filthy dinghies “ - horrible woman.
And as well as the detail, he also got across the big underlying points. I cant remember the last time I heard a Labour minister do that with unapologetic authority.
Al Carns was pretty impressive there. #Newsnight
It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis.
It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.
I've never observed a wider gap between self-confidence and lack of any actual understanding than in Badenoch. On other topics it can be comical, but when it extends to undermining gov't on matters of national security, in breach of established conventions, it is profoundly dangerous. #PMQs

I love this painting by Winifred Nicholson of the pianist, Vera Moore. She's been describing as looking "as if she had just been told a lovely secret when she played".
A 15-year-old is a CHILD, not a "young women". Lazy headline. #Epstein www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Mangoes. We used to have to eat them in the bath when we were kids - could make a delicious mess of eating them.
Exactly! And especially while reading. But also while looking vacantly at the garden.
The BBC is lost
Since publishing what I think of the way the graded music exam syllabus is being mis-used, and the problematic expectations this sets up for parents, I am getting fewer contacts through my website. So it's working! 💪

That's the one! It's the encountering of it that's part of it - coming around a corner to it.
Wow, I didn't know that.
I get that. I'm always particularly caught and moved by the Barbara Hepworth sculpture, 'Three Personages'.
Lovely juxtaposition with the red-striped curtain. The more you look, at KY House, the more you see.
And the one brief quote from him, they sanewashed.
“When the state is the alleged victim, the state moves at pace. When women are the alleged victims, the state has been taking its time.”
Former Chief Crown Prosecutor Nasir Afzal on #bbcnews.

I'm Liking this out of optimism (or desperation!).
Sneakily playing a note with an unexpected finger is – says 11yo pianist Boris – a "Fake Rabona pass". He's right! I must add this to the Blog I'll Never Write: a new version of Dozen A Day exercises, but they're all types of football manoeuvre. #PianoTeaching #TheBlogIWillNeverWrite
I agree. I've been upset about the things Labour hasn't done and should have. About the things it shouldn't have done, yet did. But I've been really dispirited by its inability to cut thru extraordinary media hostility with the good things it *has* done.
Yes, that's fair. The quality of her interviewing is beyond reproach.
I think so too. But they generally don't get serious guests anymore, it's just a chat show. I think they're probably badly resourced, too, compared to the 45-minute Newsnight of old.
