Been to better train stations. Been to worse ones. To be honest, this one is roughly as I expected it to be.

Kirsty MacColl would have been 67 this week. Her debut solo single "They Don't Know", (1979), reached no 2 on the Music Week airplay chart. However, a distributors' strike prevented the single getting into record shops, and the single failed to appear on the Singles Chart. I miss her. #KirstyMacColl

RIP Jeffrey Archer, not a day goes by when I don't think about the judge in his 1987 libel case (which Archer "won" by doing a bunch of perjury) summing up for the jury by going "would a guilty man have such a hot wife". one of the most insane legal moments of all time

The BBC does genuinely seem to be trying to save money where it can; they scrapped an undercover investigation where Amol Rajan went out clubbing with a view to exposing the easy access to poppers because they didn't want to pay for the Amol night rate

Besides Childline (obvs), that clip of Esther Rantzen getting arrested for obstruction is my favourite thing of hers. The way she rather sardonically responds in that slightly posh put upon way is hilarious. Especially sticking her head out the window. Pernod, ouzo, marmalade and salt all round!

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

The reoccurring theme of recent news is ‘company/individual commits a crime. There is no obvious consequence’. Doesn’t feel ideal.

It's covered in the main article. BBC News - Most cross-Channel migrant small boat arrivals in single day of 2026 - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
A total of 781 migrants arrived in 10 small boats on Wednesday, the highest number for a single day so far this year, Home Office figures show.

So far this year 18,565 people have made the Channel crossing, which is 42% lower than the same period in 2025 when 32,188 had crossed in small boats.

There are bigger things to be angry about but tech's pivot from "no more ads if you pay" to "fuck you, pay and get ads anyway — and by the way the ads are so much worse now" always feels outrageous

good morning
APStylebook • @APStylebook • 16h

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

Replying to @APStylebook

The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense. An updated tweet is upcoming.
