Nicholas Winton was overwhelmed. When I went to interview him before the programme, he was surprised anyone was interested in what he'd done 45 years previously. So all the children he'd saved standing up around him was just astonishing. He couldn't believe it.

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.

She understood that the right to choose a peaceful death is a fundamental human freedom. Her legacy is not just in the charities she founded, but in the compassion she awakened in the public consciousness regarding the end of life. She changed the debate, and we are deeply grateful for her courage.

BREAKING: Israel snatched an American teen from his West Bank home in the middle of the night — just days before his birthday and during his critical national exams. He's now been held for 3 months, with no charges. Netanyahu just came to the US for the *eighth* time since Trump took office.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

The Times has been told that falling immigration reduces the fiscal headroom for the Chancellor. The Times is just completely mistaken (chronologically) to attribute this to "the success of Shabana Mahmood's reforms, since net migration fell to 171k in 2025. She became Home Secretary in Sept 2025.

Labour aren't winning over Reform voters by pushing for anti-immigration, anti-asylum, anti-trans, anti-disabled voters. They are reinforcing Reform's, Restore et al's arguments that marginalised groups are an "issue" and to be blamed for all the ills of the world though. That's not helping anyone.
