This podcast episode is an absolute joy — @carolvorders.bsky.social is a total delight, a wildly entertaining raconteur with a magnificent Basil Brush laugh. All @mrjamesob.bsky.social needs to do is lob the occasional question and then sit back and enjoy.

'Despite your belligerent message, deep down you still feel really silly - and I don't.'
@mrjamesob.bsky.social is tempted to send yet another texter to Idiots' Corner, as listener Matt says 'Brexit is good' because Trump has given the UK lower tariffs than the EU.

Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I went to a free concert at a local church - The Gustav Holst Ensemble - & half way through the second piece - Brahms Piano Quartet no. 3 - I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. A moment of absolute beauty. Never known anything like it.

Today in 180AD Commodus succeeded his father, Marcus Aurlieus as Roman Emperor. He would go berserk, naming the city, months & legions after himself.
One contemporary wrote that he turned Rome "from a kingdom of gold to one of iron and rust".

Seeing Kemi Badenoch respond to matters of unprecedented geopolitical importance reminds me of an anxiety dream I used to have about agreeing to play drums at a charity concert with the Rolling Stones & remembering on the night that I can’t play the drums.

So the secret is out. The ITV team that made Mr Bates vs the Post Office has been making a drama about the phone-hacking scandal. Featuring David Tennant as Nick Davies. And Mr Bates himself (aka Toby Jones) as me. An altogether less heroic role for Toby, but he’s brilliant as always

Blimey. That actually got me.
John Prescott’s coffin has arrived at Hull Minster for his funeral. Appropriately, the hearse was a Jag, as is the family’s car.
A knowing wink you suspect. Two Jags to the end.

On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis
A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country
A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation
