Either of them

Catching up on #newsnight - such a shame that Dia Chakravarty has chosen to take a job at the Daily Telegraph. I so miss the days when she was fighting tirelessly for my interests as an ordinary taxpayer.

Slightly surprised to find myself agreeing with Gove on one point this morning #r4today BBC’s abandonment of high culture, on television at least, is utterly tragic and in no way helps it to build the case for its future

Hi Lisa Nandy! I’m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?

Fantastic evening @thetungauditorium.bsky.social yesterday with Dame Imogen Cooper, Henning Kraggerud and Adrian Brendel playing Schubert. Music and performances to help you leave the troubles of the everyday behind for a short while. Thanks to all three for a wonderful concert
