BBC: "While President Trump has not disclosed any legal cause of action against us, we wish to apologise unreservedly to him, lick his boots, cancel shows that he doesn't like and which we never had any intention of broadcasting, and give him all our licence-fee payers' money by way of settlement"

Watched The Choral at the cinema on Saturday. Extremely emotional by the end and a very fitting film for Remembrance and our current turbulent times. Owen's anger was supremely well-placed. Alan Bennett's quiet wit and narrative powerful too. Go see it if you can. The singing is beautiful too.

Huge congratulations, Katherine! It's early on a Sunday, but it still sounds like an occasion for champagne!
