The combination of Trevor Griffiths and Jack Shepherd was a match made in that corner of Heaven reserved for socially committed creative souls.

If you've never seen Trevor Griffiths' indictment of a failing dream, here's #ThroughTheNight with Alison Steadman at her most subtle, and Jack Shepherd at his most searing. If he can stay awake... youtu.be/uX9g7V_-iuY?... Send a copy to Wes Streeting.

Terrible, terrible loss. Jack Shepherd's heartfelt, honest, earnestness was 70s socialism incarnate, in #BillBrand and #ThroughTheNight on TV. On stage he made Bill Bryden's Dream & Mysteries zing: the canniest Puck, & the Devil incarnate. RIP you best of players.
RIP Jack Shepherd, seen here in a TV adaptation of Robert Aickman's delightful story "The Hospice"

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.
Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

This is cool: “Placed in a skin patch, the sensor could tell doctors in minutes whether patients need vaccine boosters”
Researchers have created a supersensitive and fast sensor for detecting antibodies that fight influenza and COVID-19: cen.acs.org/biological-c... #chemsky 🧪
Ultrasensitive sensor tracks flu- and COVID-19-fighting antibodies
Researchers could use it to make a skin patch that measures vaccine effectiveness

Wish people would stop saying Trump has done a U-turn on Ukraine. He does this every few weeks. Putin then makes a violent point of ignoring him. Trump's alleged change of heart is just a prelude to his next humiliation by Putin.

Since Labour won power, an insidious little phrase has been popping up constantly in the media: "tax raid".
So I looked into this for @thenewworldmag.bsky.social
And it turns out it once meant something completely different.

Why the right wing media keeps screaming ‘tax raid’
This isn’t journalism, it’s propaganda that reframes tax policy as assault and a democratically elected Labour government as thieves
