Saw Hamnet today. Best film as well as the most devastating emotionally in years. Even after leaving the theater, I felt like I was going to start crying. Again.
I have no idea who else will get nominated, but I can’t fathom l a performance out there that can top Jessie Buckley’s.

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

The Tories botched Brexit deal has left us £90 billion worse per year.
The Lib Dems have a plan for a Customs Union with the EU that would bring around £25 billion to the economy.
The Lib Dems will bring a vote on this next week and I hope Labour backbenchers will support us.
