When I read about the #asteroid that could hit earth in 2032 (but we won’t know until 2028) my first thought was #Trump will use it as an excuse to postpone elections and stay on for a third term.

Intrigued to see that House of Ghosts which I toured with playing Inspector Morse in 2010 is touring again this year. One of my favourite jobs ever. There was another stage tour in 2015 too with my friend Nigel Fairs playing Morse. So it’s odd they’re advertising it as the First Ever stage version!!

The North Korean soldiers fighting alongside Vladimir Putin’s military have shown ferocious commitment, brutality – and a determination to kill themselves rather than face capture, The Independent has been told.

Powerful words from Dr Peter Prinsley prior to the #AssistedDying vote yesterday: “We are shortening death, not life for our patients. This is not life or death.This is death or death.” I believe the right decision was made after an excellent and considered debate.

Saw an old friend last night. Back in 2016 our conversations got a little dicy when he became something of a fervent Brexiter... In pub he suddenly volunteers to me: "Brexit was a shit idea wasn't it. I mean - a really shit idea." I think we may be entering the time frame where people accept that.

This is incredibly disturbing and goes against every rule of war, international law, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the very ethic of the military. A disciplined military goes to every length to prevent civilian deaths and having a SecDef who doesn't care is unacceptable.
