Yes to this. Strong memories of regularly watching Newsnight Review with my dad circa 2000-2003. Quite a few books and films I can roughly date form memories of discussions of them
I miss unpredictable, unashamedly high-minded arts television, the shows that gave me a cultural education on the margins of schedules.
So I wrote about them, their decline and how losing them leaves us poorer, in this week's newsletter.

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons.
But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs.

This commission has all the “pull” of the vocal lines and how they interplay with each other. It has a sense of an imagined landscape because some music suggests the long look at a horizon.

The Prime Minister should show British leadership on Ukraine by inviting President Zelenskyy to address Parliament on Monday.
I'm proud that the UK has been Ukraine's staunchest ally from the start. We mustn't falter in the face of Trump's bullying now.

So if you’re in Edinburgh on Saturday I recommend you come to this. It’s brilliant. ❤️ Janacek

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
