Sad to read of the death of Gaby Elyahou. Gaby's Deli was a welcoming place - always busy with diners, buzzing with chat and banter - with Gaby keeping a friendly, eagle eye on everything. A hospitable haven on Charing Cross Road, beloved by so many. #RIPGaby

Excellent thread. Permit me to draw attention to role of BBC Board, Chairman & Director General from my copy of guidelines. By taking Lineker off air has the Board undermined it’s own ‘alleged’ standards, responsibility & reputation for impartiality #NeverBeABystander #motd

.@ZoeJardiniere seems a dismissive and unsatisfactory response to careful and thoughtful complaint, failing to address the issues of trafficking children, which as we know need not involve ‘dragging’ etc. Also wrong to pretend I sought clarification, rather than offering some.
@susiesymes1 This is NOT a clarification. It is a doubling down on the conflation between children making journeys to the UK and children being abducted into slavery from hotels IN THE UK. omg I know you know this but I'm losing my shit over the BBC not knowing or bothering to learn this.
Saw this wonderful clip of Sir Jonathan Miller tearing up Enoch Powell's divisive rhetoric on the Dick Cavett show, reminding us all that we don’t have to accept racism and xenophobia in our politics. We should see it for what it is, and call it out. Always.
I'm backing @RishiSunak - he has the leadership our country needs, and the values our party needs.
"It's just really sad to see the UK government behaving in this irresponsible way," @AdamPosen says. Listen here: bloomberg.com/news/audio/202…
.@JohnRentoul is spot on but perhaps understates: Truss & Kwarteng know they have already lost the next election so play a blinder by deliberately leaving an impossible legacy for the incoming Labour government AND lining their friends’ pockets in the meantime.

Excellent open discussion of media coverage of the death of the Queen, some rightly critical. @marcusryder perceptive, thoughtful: making an impact on co-panellists @edvaizey @emilybell @tinastowell @StefanieBolzen + @katierazz #BBCMediaShow bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Jean-Jacques Sempé est mort à l'âge de 89 ans. Il avait connu la célébrité grâce à un personnage devenu emblématique pour des générations d'écoliers, « Le Petit Nicolas ». En 1961, avec Goscinny, il évoque leur rencontre et la naissance du plus célèbre des petits écoliers.
Fascinating on how Madrid is looking forward, and using ancient Middle Eastern - and green - ways to create cool spaces in heatwaves. What’s the plan @SadiqKhan? All local councils should be planning public spaces, and buildings, for climate change.

@PhilipCross420 @PatrickSawer @thediyora Thinking about how many people independently showed up to lay flowers for Princess Diana, or light a candle for Amy Winehouse. How can Patrick Sawer deny that a shared impulse exists to protect our neighbours and to protest injustice?

1. Happy Pride Month 🏳️🌈 Today we are announcing our updated Inclusivity Statement! This is part of our ongoing commitment to remove barriers faced by people from under-represented groups in ornithology and birdwatching. Read the Statement 👉 bto.org/about-bto/bto-…
In the last 48 hours, a local landowner has cut down ALL the trees along the edge of his fields adjoining the road, sparing none, not even mature Oaks. He's done this bang in the middle of the bird nesting season.
Lost bear on Hampstead Heath! This little ted looks like he is being missed by someone. 💔He's safe in our office now but we'd love to reunite him with his owner. Please re-tweet to get this teddy home.
It will get almost no publicity, but the government just won a vote to take control of the Electoral Commission. That’s right: Johnson will now wield ultimate power over another of the bodies designed to hold executive power in check. This is not a functioning democracy.

Come on @DavidLammy, nobody asks you to repeal “all the Conservative legislation”but the truly terrible Acts - eg anti-democratic, those with racist impact, or seriously damaging to the environment - have to go.

@jennylinford This was my favourite place to visit in London....before theatre or after theatre or anytime! Food was completely yummy and affordable. Gaby always made us feel welcome. Rest in peace and long life to his family.
