I don’t really know, to be honest, but to second Rob Gilroy’s excellent point, Muppet Christmas Carol is on at the end of November with a live orchestra. Saw it with my kids (who were 18 and 16 at the time!) last year and we just loved it. Not classical music, obvs, but terrific.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

Fair enough. The ICC are noted idiots.

Hate to defend Sky, but this one is on the ICC - they produce the feed for World Cups, and Sky just relay it!
