A tribute in today’s Sunday Times to John Carey, who taught me more than I can say about books and the proper way to live… https://t.co/Stb6Y9VROO

As we light the Chanukiah, our thoughts and prayers are with those murdered in the terrorist attack on Bondi beach today, their loved ones and the whole Jewish community. Light will always win over darkness.

A righteous and brave man among the nations
.@Channel7 says that the hero who disarmed one of the Bondi shooters by grabbing him from behind is 43-year-old fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed who likely saved countless lives when he wrestled with the gunman. He was reportedly shot himself and is receiving treatment in hospital

Westminster is scenting blood and hounding the prime minister about his undercooked policies. Some Labour figures want a ‘big bang’ to win back support

This is the purest distillation of heroism I’ve ever seen

I am so sad to hear about the death of John Carey. He was my absolute hero, and meeting him as stablemates at the Sunday Times was one of the greatest thrills of my life. https://t.co/huNiNqCNlg

Very sad to hear about John Carey, a wonderful writer, Merton Professor and longtime chief book reviewer of the Sunday Times. I’ve thought about him most days of my adult life. Just before the pandemic I spent time talking to him about his life and work: https://t.co/2FIr9Xqm9J

John Carey was about the best critic to ever review books in a newspaper. Deeply erudite, always accessible, wise, witty, acerbic and fair. An extraordinary man and legacy.

A significant intervention by @Freedland on the Farage/Dulwich/antisemitism story, which follows a leader in @JewishNewsUK. The more liberal side of the community is now pushing on this issue https://t.co/3dtDOTiJWm

While the Reform UK leader and his allies smear accusers as liars, the Board, JLC and HET remain mute, fearing the wrath of a rising politician

Britain still has Long Covid. Everywhere you look, from courts to hospitals to welfare, we’re paying a massive lockdown premium. So why do we never talk about it? My column from today’s @thetimes

Farage has the money, the defections and the steady polling lead. But at present he can’t shake a schoolboy scandal. The allegations are five decades old, but his failure to manage them now could still cost him politically My @thetimes political read https://t.co/oSnd9neR0Y

“The similarity between Reeves and Truss…is that at certain points, their political goals came in conflict with the OBR.” The Sunday Times’s @JoshGlancy points out the “strange irony” in the government’s attitude to the OBR.

From ski slopes to little league—sports are under attack. Boise shut down pickleball courts after a frivolous lawsuit. Who pays the price? We do. Because billboard lawyers ruin everything, including the games we love.

In opposition, Rachel Reeves made the OBR a symbol of Labour’s attachment to rules and rectitude. Which makes the current situation all the more extraordinary. From my @thetimes column today
