There was coverage of the British Wimbledon semifinalist on BBC2 earlier, but now he’s on BBC1. Cross-channel Fery.

The thought of the sheer spluttering impotent rage Farage must be reduced to right now, combined with the fact that even he, in some dank corner of his mind, must realise that he has entirely brought this on himself, makes me incredibly happy.

Losing my mind at this Murder, She Wrote promo

This morning there was a woman on the train with a cough exactly like a velociraptor calling the others cos it’s found the kids in the kitchen.

new metaphor just dropped

You can make more money from a swear jar by putting the lid on really tight.

Progressive 10km on a running machine. I didn’t even watch a film while I was doing it! I am a better, more disciplined runner than I used to be. Slower, obv. But better and more disciplined nonetheless.

‘Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?’

5km up, 5 somewhat faster km down. I should maybe be resting more after my #coast2coast, but the feeling of apparently being able to run forever, anywhere is just too intoxicating!

It’s behind me isn’t it.

On this beautiful day I’m thinking of the late David Hockney and his mum.

This will be a fun one! (Check small print for Lionel Richie, Eurythmics etc…)

"We're going to prove that migration causes violence by providing the violence"

I honestly can’t understand why Elon Musk’s X isn’t banned in the UK. It has become a poisonous vehicle for spreading hatred and dissension, and is run by a white supremacist agitator, who explicitly incites violence. Surely there is a criminal sanction for this?

Absolutely wild how right-wing commentators and politicians are just completely ignoring the attempted pogrom in Belfast. Families with kids rescued from homes set on fire. And these same people who smear peaceful protests against genocide as hate marches say NOTHING

Surprise return to lovely @highburyfieldsparkrun this morning; hot out there, but nice that the course stays under leafy trees throughout. Thank you marshals, well done fellow parkrunners and -walkers.

On the fells earlier this week. Hot.

He’s behind me, isn’t he.

Wonderful picnic with Julia Deering at the Barbican yesterday before seeing High Society - also wonderful - featuring my dear old friend* Helen George. A sparkly, romantic evening all round. (*I met her once.)

I went for a run at the weekend…

I did it, by the way… It went well. Full report tomorrow.

I’m at the start line of #racethetide. Sponsor me for @parkinsons.org.uk while I’m out there! shorturl.at/EQ1Nr

Of course YOU don’t have to sponsor me £200! But if ten of you gave me £20, or forty of you gave me a fiver… well, you get the idea.

Reminding myself how good I felt this time last week, because I am NERVOUS about #RaceTheTide tomorrow. Another way to calm my nerves would be to sponsor me for Parkinson’s UK… I’m just £200 away from £3k! shorturl.at/EQ1Nr

#RaceTheTide on Saturday! Sponsor me for @parkinsons.org.uk: shorturl.at/EQ1Nr

‘I just wanna be…’ ‘Oh let him be…’ ‘Your teddy beaaaaaar!!!’

Yet for all those mentions, Reform doesn't actually get held to account. Dodgy £5m gifts? Constant tax evasion? Running the party from Dubai? Inexplicable house purchases? Jailed for kicking your wife? Wall-to-wall racism? Backing Iran war? Scrapping the NHS? Literal concentration camps? Silence.

Britain's broadcast media boasts of its strict adherence to impartiality rules. Mentions per MP. LibDems: 645 Tories: 5,116 Greens: 7,763 Labour (the actual govt): 27,438 Reform: 70,732 Anyone surprised they're ahead? bebroadcast.co.uk/politics-who...

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

can we stop talking about this Iran War like it's a serious war started under genuine pretences? It was not. and now 1000s are dead. And we keep pretending. It's shameful.

SWIFTS!* Guys, the swifts are back, bless them. VERY exciting times to all of us who observe, eh. HOORAY! WELCOME BACK YOU LITTLE WONDERS! *There aren’t any swifts in this picture

I was hanging the washing out. Our resident fox did not care a jot.

He hoards innocent people up and put them in detention centres. He started a war for no reason. He's a liar. And unfit for his role. This doesn't even scratch the surface of his inadequacy. This isn't about finding a way to work with someone you disagree with. This is about endorsing a tyrant.

I miss the version of social networks where I could see what my friends were up to. It’s lonely just looking at all this stupid balls.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
