Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

If you enjoyed Wicked (and you should!) here's a song from a different Stephen Schwartz musical, The Baker's Wife. I think it's a magical masterpiece. The piano part just on its own is a wonder.

This is an amazing performance. And she's right, the song is incredible. I think Aerial might be my favourite Kate album.

We're worried the door to NHS privatisation is opening wider through new PFI‑style deals.
This isn’t “support”, it’s a risk to the very fabric of the NHS.
Help us stop this before the autumn budget sets the path.
