Lovely cool and clear Spring morning out talking to residents in the St Sidwells and St James division. Lucy Findlay will be a fantastic and proactive councillor for the area - she’s already proven she can make a positive difference, and has been awarded an MBE for it.

The problem with social media is that so many people will try and make you feel guilty for not following their moral code. And trying to follow 200 other people’s moral codes is likely to drive you mad.

I’ve just finished volume two of Some Men In London. It’s a chronological look at UK queer life prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967, told through diary entries, letters, newspaper articles, parliamentary documents, police reports, extracts from literature etc. Essential reading.

I just rewatched The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time in years. It’s such a confident piece of filmmaking. Great songs and a wonderful cast. Tim Curry’s central performance is truly astonishing: funny, sexy, dangerous. Here’s my drawing of him. barnabyedwards.co.uk/silver-screa...

Absolutely awful news. Utterly heartbreaking. The great thing about Bond was that it was a family business. The quality may have varied but it was always made by a small group of people who cared. It'll now be just another overexploited commodity. I'm devastated. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This & YouGov's poll showing Brits give Zelenskyy +48 & Trump a -51 approval shows dangers to the right in UK of listening to the v. online/US coded in their approach to Ukraine. Brits really support Ukraine & aren't polarised on it. 52% of Reform voters entirely blame Russia
