We should see the evidence that has led to these tight strictures.

Awful typo in The Guardian 🤦‍♂️

Just seen Joby Talbot’s #PathofMiracles is programmed for Tenebrae Choir concert in Wells Cathedral on 30th June. The thought of singing that piece again has made me so freaking happy I am basically crying. What a crazy tough journey it will have been to get to that destination.

What happened to that artist quarantine exemption? And can it come back ASAP please? If it’s ok for elite sports-persons to travel quarantine free, why not elite artists? It’s killing our already heavily wounded profession. Department for Culture, Media and Sport Oliver Dowden ISM artscouncil.org.uk/covid-19/self-…

The G7 summit should be followed by a C major summit to resolve everything.

On an absolutely packed Avanti West Coast train Mancs-Ldn. Not the one I booked. Apparently seat reservations don’t count when football crowds want to travel en mass. No distancing, no masks, just loads of people from a Covid hotspot rammed together. Because, you know, football.

I just signed a The Green Party petition to support the amendments that give us an Environment Bill that will deliver what's urgently needed for people and nature. Sign here:actionnetwork.org/petitions/envi…

Reports are coming in that the Brexit Bus has run out of fuel.

I can’t see any advice from the police about how men should behave. Am I missing something?

bbc.in/3a2Mwhv I’m sorry, what? Women now advised by senior police that WE should figure out how to protect ourselves from the POLICE in order to avoid being abducted, raped and murdered? And the guy thinks the problem with this suggestion is that it was ‘insensitive’?

My friend, lawyer Baroness Helena Kennedy has managed to evacuate 103 women judges, prosecuters, and activists with their families from Afghanistan. They're currently temporarily safe in Greece. She needs financial help & Governments to provide visas. Please help her to help them

Lovely to have been a part of this special Christmas offering from St George’s Chapel, Windsor. And just a tiny bit proud to be the first robed woman to sing with the Lay Clerks in the choir’s long history ☺️🎄🌟 Free to watch here: bit.ly/3qp3u14

This is golden.

How, in the space of 3 weeks, can the UK govt move from almost mandating vaccines for NHS staff to not even requiring them to do regular asymptomatic testing? Surely those are two almost opposite stances?

Acutely intelligent, sensitive to Russia as much as to Ukraine, clear about the horror of war - quietly immensely courageous - @zelenskyyUa is an extraordinary man. This is one of the most remarkable speeches ever made - in dignified contrast to Putin’s hysterical megalomania.

Is it actually the case that Evri is so bad, they don’t even dare have a Twitter account? Had our travel cot for 8 DAYS at the local depot with no movement or updates and now won’t arrive in time for travel. Evri bit as useless as Hermes, it turns out.
