Especially pertinent now that we have the Tory “Common Sense Minister” Esther McVey condemning rainbow lanyards as she says they’re “promoting” homosexuality. Because we all know nothing converts the average hetero to gayness as fast as the sight of a rainbow neck ribbon…

Ah the old "promoting homosexuality" line makes a comeback from the ashes of Clause 28 bigotry. As the Tory Government enters its final months it's somehow fitting this blast from a poisonous past should be resurrected by them. But how absurd they're talking about lanyards... 🏳️‍🌈

🚨 ‘Common Sense’ Minister on lanyards… My exchange with Esther McVey about why she wants to stop “pick and mix” lanyards in the Civil Service But @EstherMcVey1 didnt seem too happy when I asked her what the consequences would be if civil servants didn’t follow guidance @LBC

Channel 4 News has provided outstanding coverage of #Gaza despite Israeli efforts to keep journalists out in order to hide their war crimes from the world.

. @Channel4News wins the BAFTA for News Coverage for ‘Inside Gaza : Israel and Hamas at War’. A huge recognition of @YousefHammash who provided us with moving reportage and films while international reporters were not (and are still not) allowed in to Gaza. The second year…

May garden with the jasmine in full bloom. This garden was created from scratch. It used to be covered by a lean-to extension which we demolished.

A question to which #Eurovision organisers - loudly booed - had no answer. Should Israel “be allowed to compete” while engaged in a war against #Gaza having killed tens of thousands of civilians? “Protesters cited Russia’s exclusion as a precedent.”

The UK Government are duty bound to release this information, taxpayers paid for it. 👇 Why would they fight so hard to keep attitudes to the Union secret? Is it because it shows people in Scotland see their future as an independent nation?

Fantastic to see. I visited Budapest & Prague just before the wall came down. Budapest was dark, gloomy & sad. I stayed with an old lady in a majestic flat. Pipes ran along the drawing room walls & thumped all night. The only place where people seemed happy & free were the baths.

The most uplifting architectural revival happening today is in Budapest. The city is reclaiming its identity after decades of communist rule. Here's what's going on... (thread) 🧵

Further to my questioning of the @NetflixUK boss about #BabyReindeer and duty of care: Piers Morgan has interviewed the real life Martha. He’s now asked me on to his show to discuss media exploitation of her. I’ve said no.

Tory MPs - and almost certainly Tory client journalists - sat on this story for years whilst #NatalieElphicke was a Conservative MP, only publishing it now she’s crossed the floor. But how foolish Sir Keir Starmer was to welcome this woman with her odious views & character.

Natalie Elphicke - who Sir Keir Starmer has welcomed into the Labour Party with open arms - lobbied the Justice Secretary to intervene in her husband’s trial. “Natalie Elphicke totally rejects that characterisation of the meeting” Labour says today. Exclusive in the @thetimes
