‘I’ll also invent the mockumentary.’
Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

I have to confess that between a personal bereavement and the attack in Australia, I'm struggling against the dark today.
But then I see a list of just a few of the things we've done in a week and it lifts me.

We’re off to light the Menorah. We, a non-Jewish family, do that every year in memory and in place of our forebears whose lives were cut short by antisemitism. Today we feel again exactly how that could happen. Love to those Jewish families who suffered today. 🕎

My kids woke up so excited this morning for the first night of Hannukah and now yet again we have a festival where I’m very conflicted about whether it’s safe to take them to synagogue to celebrate. Communities shouldn’t have to live like this.

Now mainly this doesn’t matter - papers are free to write nonsense. Just sharing so you can see how weird the desire to write that total nonsense is. What a waste of journalists’ time writing petty hatchet jobs when there is so much actually important news out there

As an aside they’ve got their facts wrong . Again. They claim no other minister was there but these were routine meetings chaired by… the Chancellor.

Their new accusation? That a Treasury minister attended (wait for it)… a Treasury meeting (in this case with the OBR). They allege this proves some kind of lefty conspiracy (no idea on what basis)

Totally untrue garbage from @thetimes.com & @dailymail.co.uk today - smear dressed up as journalism. Some facts:
- There is no “£900 desk”
- my constituency office has Ikea desks/chairs
- we significantly underspent the new MPs allowance to set up an office

Maddie gave exceptional evidence to Parliamentarians about why the assisted dying bill is so necessary. Maddie wants to live her life well and for as long as possible. And the thought of a choice at the end of her life gives her peace.

Dragging terminally ill people from their death beds to appear in court to plead their case is objectively cruel.
Should peers cause the #AssistedDyingBill to fail, it would be unimaginably devastating for terminally ill people and their families.

6/ Some in our media and our politics may want to steamroller their toxic, divisive agenda over the rest of us, but the law remains clear: what matters is equality and fair treatment for both women and trans people – not the triumph of one over the other.

5/ As some of us have said all along, this is not a clear-cut issue. The Supreme Court did not say that trans people should be pushed out of public life. It instead reaffirmed a duty to ensure everyone — women and trans people — can live freely and without discrimination.

4/ It was also ruled that aggressively challenging trans women using female facilities is harassment. Anti-trans campaigners' baseless claims that trans women pose a greater risk to women in changing areas or toilets than that posed by cis women were also rejected.

3/ This isn’t about who can shout their culture war opinions the loudest. The law has always been clear: it is not inherently unlawful for a trans woman to be permitted to use female facilities at work. Employers must think carefully about how they balance everyone’s rights.
