This is very sad. Peter Gill was of the quietly decisive innovators of postwar British theatre: a superb director, a wonderful playwright, someone who just made things happen (Riverside Studios, NT Studio). Despite having every reason to be immodest, he was a sweet and modest man. RIP

Peter Gill has died. He taught me more about theatre directing - and playwriting - than anyone else. The last link to George Devine’s Royal Court. RIP.

I’m sorry to hear that Rod Liddle has just died.

It’s November 2032: expectant crowds gather at Knox College Illinois following rumours that Lesley Gretch, the world’s only classicist yet to comment on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, is about to break her silence.

Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...

So this guy transferred $2m to his mother who then donated it to Farage. Well so what? Can't a son (a convicted fraudster who literally wrote a book called How to Launder Money) give his mother a gift? Why are people so cynical?? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Revealed: George Cottrell transferred $2m to his mother days before her donations to Reform UK

Exclusive: Sources say Fiona Cottrell told bankers the transfers, received 24-72 hours before her donations to Reform, came from her son

Does anyone else find it strange that England's best performance in a World Cup for sixty years is being described as 'everything going wrong'?

Probably should have looked into this before today, lads.

Nigel Farage is risibly trying to turn Ann Widdecombe into Charlie Kirk.

Paul Brand@paulbrand.bsky.social · 4w ago

Nigel Farage has sent an email to Reform UK supporters tonight saying “we don’t know whether there were any political motives” behind Ann Widdecombe’s murder. But police have already ruled that out, saying there was “no information” to suggest the murder was “politically motivated”.

Oh you liked her did you?? Go on, name three Ann Widdecombe albums.

On my way, Clacton.

Performing arts HE courses losing key government funding just as Forbes data shows Visual & Performing Arts graduates are among the most versatile in the workforce. The skills case is strong. The timing has never been harder to justify. @thestage.co.uk: www.thestage.co.uk/news/perform...

Pathetic philistinism from a government with no fundamental values.

Arts Professional@artsprofessional.co.uk · 4w ago

Performing and creative arts university courses will no longer receive funding from a government teaching grant as part of “difficult decisions” about spending priorities, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.

I worry for the people of Clacton. How will they cope for the next two months without Nigel Farage to tirelessly sort out potholes, resolve housing disputes, and assist welfare claimants?

I hope all non-Reform parties might see this as an opportunity to field just one opponent to Farage and maximise the chance of booting him out of public life.
