Australia here I come, ready or not! 😊🙌

Oz 2.0 here we come !! 😊🥰🙌🦘

Seasonal peeve. Those irritating sticky price labels that Will Not Come Off (or bring most of the present with them).

This is fabulous

Wasn’t watching… did we win 🫣😱

FIFA 🤦‍♀️

giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Meet Jane and Julia: sex-starved, sozzled and scandalous. In 2025 they’d have a podcast. But this is 1925 and so it’s over to Noël Coward… Janie Dee and Alexandra Gilbreath are a joy in Fallen Angels at the Menier Chocolate Factory.

This is the most wonderful thing. Art matters. #TomStoppard

Oh no! This lovely, gracious man gave me my big break at The Independent. I found him very kind and endlessly interested. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

"having changed my mind about the OBR, my internship there has begun smoothly"

This is an incredibly powerful article by Peter Ettedgui. I hope people listen to him and to the others who are brave enough to come forward.

OMG All My Sons is just superb. Stupendous, incredibly moving performances from Bryan Cranston, Paapa Essiedu and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. From the whole cast in fact. And so, so timely. War and peace, nickels and dimes.

Liverpool look like they do not have a clue what they are doing. So so poor. Really depressing.

Slot out? 😞

Another fine new play 🙌 Loved End at the National Theatre, the final piece in David Eldridge’s compassionate trilogy about love on.ft.com/4o69cRp

Ashes 👀. It’s the hope that kills you…

Listening to Gove smooth talking his way through the coruscating Covid report and struggling to keep my breakfast down.

Seen some good new plays recently about important subjects. After Sunday at the Bush Theatre is a witty but compassionate piece about a group of men in a secure hospital cooking together … on.ft.com/4r5wUQD

‘What we need is a bit of compassion in our politics.’ Alf Dubs. Hear, hear.
