Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Nothing could be more British, and anti-establishment, than for the good people of Clacton to elect Binny McBinface as their MP

Emily Portman was in the news recently because someone had illegally released a fake album in her name, using AI... More than enough reason to support her real new recording on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...

Emily Portman - New Album - The Dominion of Spells
Boldly original songs of metamorphosis, magic, and midlife—where selkies, owl goddesses, and fairy queens guide a quest for wonder.

Happy Dalloway Day to those Virginia Woolf fans who celebrate it. At Monk’s House they commemorated the book’s 100th anniversary with insights from Holly Dawson and Charlie Porter and readings from the one and only Lindsay Duncan.

The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold. The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.

Glad to see successful cooperation and positive deals made today at the EU-UK Summit. What remains missing is recognition of the unique citizenship rights of Northern Irish people, who are birth-right EU citizens.

If the opinion polls show that public opinion continues its gradual but relentless shift in favour of rejoining the EU, then surely smaller steps, at least, should be easier.

The state of the newspapers this morning: a near-universal attack on trans people, most of it grossly exaggerating the implication of yesterday's ruling. Almost joyous in its spite.

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.
