Please can at least one broadcaster confront Hancock, Rudd, Gove and Javid with the fucking footage of them saying they would never prorogue Parliament? An age of zero accountability. Everything is rotten. I absolutely despair.

It was one of the great joys of my life to work so closely with and to adore Una Stubbs. She was a wonderful, wonderful woman and a great and serenely graceful actor. Mischief was in her blood. We were so blessed that she became our imperishable Mrs Hudson. Goodbye, darling. ❀️

Language is a crucial part of the mess we're in. For example, using 'Brexiteer' - invoking images of a rakish rogues - rather than the more banal 'Brexiter'. And the use of 'Boris' rather than "mendacious fucking sociopathic pile of grey meat paste with a mop on it".

There was no one quite like Cribbins. A gifted comic actor with an incredible seam of pathos and real heart. From Sellers to Star Turn, Wombles to Wilf. I once gushed to him about his lovely performance in Hammer’s β€˜She’. That afternoon he was off to play 5 aside - aged almost 90
