Gorgeous autumn day for a sunset stroll. Weston is easy to love on days like this.

Say what you want about working from home, but... 6.42pm: Out-of-office goes on ahead of a week off. 6.42pm and 11 seconds: Wine.

Dressing down for home-working on days with no on-camera meetings scheduled is great - but it does become embarrassing when there's a knock at the door and you realise your Mr Happy T-shirt and Star Wars lounge pants ensemble will be viewed by other humans after all...

Up pre-dawn today to go through some fascinating labour market data from the @ONS. Sobering stats - including a record rise in redundancies - reaffirm how thankful I am to have landed a new job in the summer after a pandemic-enforced redundancy of my own...

A year ago today, I was touching down in Morocco en route to the magical Sahara. Can't believe it's been a year. In some ways it feels like only last month - in others, it feels like a lifetime ago...

@SarahCRobinson It's some of the funniest TV I've ever seen... until I remind myself it's not a sitcom, and I'm actually watching a psychopathic egotist dismantle democracy in the world's most powerful nation.

Incredible response from CNN, describing #Trump as "sad and pathetic" and "painful and dangerous" for "undermining democracy in the United States". Oh, and this cracker too: "He's like an obese turtle, flailing on his back in the hot sun."

Lie after lie after lie. Shamless ignorance, bitterness, delusion and slander. Absolutely disgraceful and utterly embarrassing from #Trump tonight... but can't pretend I'm the least surprised.

@melsheptink Yeah, love it up there - go quite often. Haven't managed a sunrise, though. That may have to wait for next summer!

Excellent thread. Clear, eloquent... and pretty much impossible to argue with.

Just about every disease disproportionately affects the poor, from the chances of avoiding it to the chances of surviving it. So the overarching purpose of any disease strategy, including Covid, should be to protect & support the poorest. It should also be the purpose of politics

Freedom of expression is 'in crisis' around the world as governments (including the UK's) seek to undermine and stifle public service journalism. Deeply alarming stuff. Well worth a read, especially for those who so enjoy slating the media and its value. pressgazette.co.uk/freedom-of-exp…

Gloomy morning on Twitter - vitriol spewing forth on #Brexit, #PandemicIsOverUK and #Trump - all offset by the delightful response to #Edmund. Turns out there are still decent people in the world. I hope they shout louder in future to drown out the hate, selfishness and lunacy.
