“I got offered Winston Churchill three times in six months. You want to say, ‘Oh, how flattering,’ but actually it’s pretty banal. It’s just because I got so fat I looked Churchillian. Casting is . . . it’s not rocket science.” on.ft.com/4nqFV4u @janinegibson.ft.com

Someone tell me what to think about ID cards. Are they baaaagood?

I think people are missing the point. Andy Burnham had a do-over (or glow-up). So that is the difference

This was the kind of nonsense confected when Eastern Europeans arrived in greater numbers… it would be funny if it wasn’t just a xenophobic grift

All this talk of the rapture I might rewatch the leftovers

Sadiq Khan’s on his third term. Despite his best efforts Trump is not

Triggered by Jude law’s character bailing his brother out financially - and what if he just said no #blackrabbit Also, finding Jason Bateman grating

Jackson Lamb has been hailed as a model boss, despite the flatulence, by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. LinkedIn is littered with leadership lessons. One post praises his “radical candour” and lack of interest in micromanaging (“I really don’t need to know the ins and outs of a cat’s arse.”)

Seeing more and more affluent people lose weight, makes it feel increasingly odd if you can afford jabs and choose not do it (Not judging etc, but huge shift)

It’s Saturday so why not treat yourself to a new book? I can recommend mine, Heirs and Graces, a history of the modern aristocracy! It is very good – and really excellent value as it is quite long! All formats available here, pass it on! ⭐️ www.penguin.co.uk/books/453305...
