How to deal with a difficult interview. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Something so satisfying about this manโs refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10

@LBC @Jayngelle @mrjamesob Worth remembering what the US author Bill Bryson said about the RNLI. Hard to read it without getting emotional.

Teamwork shout out! ๐ฃ 28 miles out to sea, a yacht with a lost propeller was taking on water. Our volunteer crew @LizardRNLI arrived on scene & quickly assessed they'd have to tow it to Falmouth. @FalmouthRNLI arrived in support & the casualty was safely delivered to shore.

Our crews saved 108 lives in the English Channel in 2022. Although mass casualty events are thankfully a small part of our lifesaving work, we've been innovating to save lives if they happen. Sea stairs could be the difference between life and death. ๐ #RNLI #WaterSafety

"People rescue people." The RNLI's head of lifeboats Simon Ling tells @cathynewman about the chaos and trauma of migrant rescue that's seen "babies being thrown" at lifeboats.

There are crazy plans to release chemicals into St Ives Bay through the sewage network claiming to tackle climate change. There's been NO IMPACT ASSESSMENT and NO PUBLIC CONSULTATION. Join the protest. ๐Sun, Aprย 16 โข 14:30 ๐Gwithian Towans, Gwithian, https://t.co/7YeMLpyx1f

Remembering the eight extremely brave, fearless & selfless @RNLI lifeboatmen, all sons of Mousehole, who made the ultimate sacrifice on 19 December 1981. Their courage, dedication, determination, valour & heroism serves as a beacon to us all ๐ #ServiceNotSelf

Best Newsnight intro ever! Bravo!!
Stunning and devastating opening from Newsnight tonight. Harsh, yes. Media students (and current broadcast journalists!) take note: your edit is nothing without the right choice of music. And oh boy this is quite the choice.
