Oh dear. This clip is badly edited to make Piers Morgan and Keir Starmer look like they’re saying that expressing anti-vax views should be criminalised. Morgan is actually asking about anti-vaxxers who harass and abuse NHS doctors and nurses on hospital property.

If the years 16-18 are the battleground - voting rights, smartphone use, National Service - sounds like we need a kid on every punditry sofa. BBC Newsround back on BBC One maybe?

I asked my daughter what she thought about this exchange (not mine). She solemnly warned that it was probably a scam. She has a nose for this kind of thing.

One the best evenings of my life was dinner with Pat Coombs, June Whitfield and Roy Hudd. Roy spilled prawn cocktail down his shirt and Pat sat in her wheelchair smoking menthol More cigarettes.

So interesting. Seems there is so much history to be reclaimed & restored from unexamined primary sources to give us a fuller, richer picture of the past. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Interesting choice of venue for a campaign video: I think of Chef's Delight as the fourth sector with poached eggs on toast.

When I was 5 I thought Barbara New was the funniest person in the world. Demonstrating how to make stuffed baked beans. Dressed as a plant and saying: 'My name's Flora, but you can call me Marge.'

With all the generosity, I can muster, don’t project your limitations and/or mediocrity - on me. Take it to Jesus, your mum or therapy.

There’s that.

And then there’s this- yellow.

Good morning & Happy Bank Holiday weekend 💛

Surely one of the things that makes the Paula Vennells case so compelling is that we have all encountered such figures in our professional lives. I wonder how we could reform managerial culture to allow fewer of them to thrive?
