This was the best documentary the 12 year-old me ever saw at the Gaumont Frome with my Dad. Thank you to Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon for letting me share it with them. And you!

This is worth going to. We saw JC in Chelmsford a couple of days ago and the show is a thought provoking, but very entertaining evening.

This Archie Bland piece is such a thing. Beautifully written, heartfelt, triumphant. He's on Bluesky but not active. He should know this is a lovely masterpiece. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I’ve got the Saturday read in today’s Guardian. What can Labour do now? Expect a massive push for a change of economic strategy in the coming days. “Why are we not picking the fights we can pick on our own turf?” one minister asks. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

So there I was, settling down with Taking the Lead, preparing to brighten up my Friday with a good laugh. Then I read the first chapter. And I was in bits from the emotional intensity of Herbie’s meditations on life & death. Thanks, @mrjohncrace.bsky.social - you really caught me off guard!
