- Astonishing moment on Today - Guy Hands, hedge funder, Tory donor, says the UK economy is 'frankly doomed' if we don't renegotiate Brexit. This insane experiment by the Rees Mogg mob is finished. We need a General Election, and our star back
- We call on the publishers of children's magazines to remove plastic giveaways from all covers. Cheap and disposable plastic eye-catchers kill land, oceans and people. Great mags shouldn't need them @EgmontUK @RedanPublishing @NatGeo please, please help us. Retweet if you agree.
- Here's a story of how we go mad; of heroines and heroes who look after us; of psychiatry's pills and psychology's questions; of radical treatments and systems in dire need of change. I wrote it to pay tribute, to find answers, in hope that it might help foyles.co.uk/witem/biograph…
- Would anyone be interested in joining a campaign to persuade publishers of children's magazines to take the crummy world-killing plastic toy tat off their covers? It ought to be straightforward: if they care about kids, they will desist. What do you think?
- The beauty of today! As if the trees and the sunlight have been planning it all year, this infinite gallery of colour, this boundless book of light and movement, the wind wishing through it all, touching everything almost hesitantly, disbelieving. And us, alive in it; now, now..
- I think we should march for democracy, and demand a General Election, peacefully, legally, and very, very loudly
- Just done it! The Faroe Islands Sound Walk, BBC Radio 3: we're interviewing real elves this Christmas...
- THE SWIFTS have returned to Hebden Bridge! Miracles of the spring, glories of the sky, they're back, just now, and screeling... It must have been a fun trip, from Mozambique via Congo and Liberia, the Sahara, the Med, Europe, the Channel - and now here. We are one world, they say
- They'll be on their mettle in heaven tonight, as one of the great souls of our time arrives. Utterly observant, funny, subversive and kind, ready to pen the first and best despatch. Let every reader and writer salute her, in this world and the next. Here's to the Great Jan Morris
- Red kite! The first I have seen in Yorkshire. They were released in 1999 near Leeds, having bred in the Chilterns - descended from four Spanish and one Welsh kite installed there in 1989. And now here, turning the valley under his wing. Good day to you, God of the morning.
- The BBC has also launched two new shortwave frequencies broadcasting World Service English news for four hours a day to Ukraine and parts of Russia: 15735 kHz from 14:00 GMT to 16:00 GMT 5875 kHz from 20:00 GMT to 22:00 GMT. Retweet it, you never know who might see it...
- Here is the true story of people crossing the Channel, what they find here and how Britain actually meets them. (The paywall allows one click!) You may be pleasantly surprised...
- When you wish you didn't have a lockdown barnet and no smart clothes
