Just saw a cable news report from the US / Mexico border. The correspondent used the word ‘migrant’ in basically every sentence. I don’t think it’s editorialising to use the word ‘people,’ every now and again 🤷🏼‍♂️

I baked for Mary Berry. This was a risk…

I’ve just coughed up a lung laughing so hard. An American friend watching the choirs at the coronation concert: “Omg is that the navy seals?!” “No babe, that’s the life boat association.” 💀

The evacuation of foreigners is convenient for the military factions in Khartoum. Once internationals have gone, the generals can get on with fighting each other and killing Sudanese civilians safe in the knowledge that the ‘international community’ and media will lose interest.

I made brownies for Mary Berry from her own cookery book, and she tried them during our interview. You’ll see if this was a good idea on soon

Binged this whole series in a day. Looking at their website, it seems like this cult has moved into quasi-religious 'pray away the gay' territory. Dangerous nonsense.

18 months ago, I got a call from Dawn saying her boyfriend was trying to escape a life coaching group...that was actually a cult. It started the weirdest & most fascinating investigation of my career. A Very British Cult is out now. Watch @BBCiPlayer: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod

Shocked by what has happened today. Evan Gershkovich is an experienced, well-respected journalist, officially accredited in Moscow. As the Wall Street Journal put it, he’s a “trusted and dedicated reporter.” For him to be facing espionage charges is simply unbelievable.
