Just back from seeing ‘The Choral’- very enjoyable, but I’m still not a fan of Elgar’s ‘The Dream..’

The screening of Mrs Warren’s Profession we saw yesterday was great, with a strong cast and brilliant performances from Imelda Staunton and Bessie Carter. What a treat!

Just met a chap I taught when he was 4/5- he’s now 32 and was with his toddler. Amazingly, we remembered each other well.. and were so pleased to bump in to one another. Ben, you’ve made my week!

@jemmywood.bsky.social Any idea where people (running an event to raise money for veterans ) could get hold of an old parachute? Already tried the navy!

Visited Hardy’s cottage and Dorchester museum- I’m whacked, but there was so much to see!

Went to lovely Arne today. This is a very long shot, but I had a bit of an episode. A lovely nurse was in the hide with us; she looked after me until the paramedics arrived. Enormous thanks to all, and to my brother- in- law and wife, who were marvellous, too. x

Really impressed with these youngsters busking in Winchester at the weekend. Their motivation and drive and talent a wonderful thing to see. The young generation often and unfairly get a bad reputation: I think they bring so much to be positive about. 😊 🎷

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights.

The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system.

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏
Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy
