Trump wants Panama back? Any day now Putin will reclaim Alaska, sold by Russia’s czar at a knockdown price after the Crimean war. No doubt China’s Xi has told him that was an “unfair” deal, like when China had to sell Hong Kong. We know how that ended. theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

I had hoped Starmer would talk about healing divisions, mending broken services and restoring nature. Instead we got a hard hats man of the people act and contempt for environmental campaigners. Can he change? @Kier_Starmer @SteveReedMP

Glad to report that The Guardian has done no sophisticated tracking of what I’ve been reading over the last few days!
6pm tonight on Talking Pictures (channel 82) the first of the Those British Faces series I produced back in the 1990s! The biographies of stars through clips from their films
Here’s why TV history research is so rewarding! Five years after the @adaptTV project wrapped, it’s still being discovered. Thanks to @ERC_Research @RoyalHolloway @RhulMediaArts @NickXHall @LearnonScreen

We're thrilled to reveal the 'Sirens of Sewage' a new art installation in Whitstable by the amazing @JasondeCairesT.
It celebrates the national network of volunteers fighting for our water, including two members of @SOSWhitstable, Robin and Rose ✊
Hello @bt_uk does this message really mean ‘we can’t be bothered’? You sent 6 texts, 3 emails and a robot voice call from a number that’s unavailable to make sure I’d be in, but NOTHING to tell me you weren’t coming. I had to trace this on your website. So much for communication!
Sarah_Montague is wrong to insist that Labour has “U-turned” on green investment. A U-turn would be to abandon the policy, not revise the amount to be committed. So @Sarah_Montague you were wrong to “stand by the word” when interviewing @PeterHain today @BBCWorldatOne
