Fantastic day at the Idler Festival - laughing, singing, philosophising and sleeping in the evening sun. Just what I needed. Heartfelt thanks @idler @ninastibbe @RowanPelling @_candythief @platospodcasts

I just confronted the CEO of @equinor and it’s majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM.
The people in this room are responsible for the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field - Rosebank.
We are no longer pleading. We will #StopRosebank
If you’re looking for a really good book - gentle, intimate, funny - this is one

Ahead of the 1000th episode of @BBCRadio4's #InOurTime later this morning, presenter Melvyn Bragg tells @MishalHusain that he 'couldn't think of a better way to spend life in work' after hosting the programme for nearly 25 years.

Seeing my three daughters ecstatic about football is something I never thought I'd witness. Hats off to the #Lionesses for all they've achieved which goes way beyond sport.
What a game, what a difference this makes
#Lionesses
IT'S ALL OVER! 💪
The #Lionesses are through to their very FIRST #FIFAWWC final! 🤩

Ten years ago this wouldn’t have been broadcast. Now male fans discuss players/ performance in equal terms to the male game. As a young girl excluded from football I never thought I’d see the day, it’s hard to describe what it means to us #Lionesses

And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.

Writers deserve to be compensated fairly for their work.
We wholeheartedly stand with the WGA in their pursuit for fair contracts and reasonable pay.
There would be no films without writers.

Found this in Belfast Waterstones, on the same day that a friend sent a photo of the book sitting front and centre in Waterstones Piccadilly. Talk about making your day as an author (a term I am finally starting to get comfortable with!) #Stayingthedistance

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

I’m glad to be in the UK today to meet with Prime Minister @RishiSunak.
I’m looking forward to turning a page and opening a new chapter with our partner and friend.

Betty Boothroyd, best speaker, most excellent person - here speaking truth to power about the need to give the young people of Britain a voice along with the rest of us with #FinalSay on Brexit back in 2019
(+ getting a great hit in on Boris Johnson to boot)
