Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

This has unintentionally been the funniest paper review I've ever heard. Not a single light hearted story, despite the increasingly desperate pleading from Jane Hill. If a disabled elephant is the fun stuff, it's been a dark 10 minutes... #BBCBH #BBCR4

Absolutely love that Alexei Sayle & Peter Hitchens have just trashed Artemis live on Broadcasting House. To clarify, I've been obsessed with it & am in wonder at the achievement, but good old Radio 4 giving us all the views #BBCBH #BBCR4

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

I said what I said.

We need to look at all options for removal immediately, including impeachment and invoking the 25th amendment.

Happy Easter through the snow, hail, sleet, (tiny amount of) sun & biting biting wind! Never has a cup of tea & a hot cross bun been so welcome. Baxter will forgive me once he's thawed out... #happyeaster🐰 #ᴇᴀsᴛᴇʀsᴜɴᴅᴀʏ #snow❄️

Starting Easter Sunday right by listening to a discussion on Space Nazis hiding stuff on the dark side of the moon. Now *this* is what I pay my license fee for. Cheers Broadcasting House, Happy Easter everyone! #BBCBH #BBCRadio4

"Carlotto was full of garlic & gaiety", aren't we all darling? Anna May Wong mesmerising in Song & a man played the accordian & the piano simultaneously live! #Hippfest has been an absolute triumph, a reminder - if we needed one - that the art of cinema has been intoxicating since the beginning.

Night two at Hippfest for me, you've really knocked it out of the park with the programming this year, LOVED Saxophone Susy, looking forward to tomorrow already! #hippfest #hippodrome

I'm calling it, SNL UK is good! Lots of highlights, like the live element & most of all Tina Fey shepherding everyone through like the mothership #snluk

Oh @economist.com

Thanks for being the consumate host, thoroughly enjoyed the evening!

Love everything about Sinners & that was a stunning live performance of I Lied To You by Miles Caton (with a smorgasbord of guests). The best bit was ending with a ballet dancer front & centre. A celebration of all music & art and how it has the power to move us. Hope you take note Timmy. #Oscars

Help please: what on earth caused these incredible upside down icicle formations?! Nothing above them, nothing trapped inside them. Never seen anything like this?!

The men's figure skating has given me so much life. The Olympic dream is so real! Go Shaidorov! Go Kazakhstan! #winterolympics

Suspect nothing is going to top Hazel Irvine's 'stoating about' quip at the #MilanoCortina Opening Ceremony, but I am SO ready for 2 weeks of equally beautiful & terrifying winter sports! And come on the curling! #WinterOlympics

What's this? Another tone deaf Labour politician being thrust into the firing line? Who'd have thought the Prince of Darkness could bring down the government. Quite a lot of us who remember New Labour as it turns out... #R4Today

Why on earth are the BBC giving airtime to 30p Lee when he's using it to abuse them, as well as spreading more lies. Sado-masochism is not a good look for 'our BBC'. #R4Today

As always catching up on #TheArchers late, but just wondering if anyone else physically grimaced when George got his farm job by revealing he's going to be a dad? I see trouble ahead for him, Amber, Meadow Farm & most importantly the cows ...

I assume the nation is rising as one to support Jazzer in his desire to lamp George? We all want it to happen: it would be the best Christmas present AND the best way to start 2026 #TheArchers

Andrew Cotter sounds like someone who may be questioning his life choices by commentating on this tennis 'match'. I am similarly questioning my own for watching it. Murder on the Orient Express was the other choice dammit! #BattleoftheSexes

Melvin Bragg reading Thomas Hardy poetry to me on Christmas Eve is all the fuel I need to get to the bookshop, brought a tear to all of our eyes. We open at 9.30: see you there! #ChooseBookshops #R4Today

Splendid solstice: celebrating the shortest day with a quiet walk in the woods, collecting our sack of fabulous festive lamb from @growwildorganics & finishing with the Service of Lessons & Carols in St Michael's Church. Definitely feeling Christmassy now! #solstice #christmastime

Happy T-ewes-day 💚

Extract from Rob Reiner's Wikipedia Filmography 1986 - Stand By zme 1987 - The Princess Bride 1989 - When Harry Met Sally 1990 - Misery 1992 - A Few Good Men

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

In a world where fewer and fewer people concern themselves with the plight of others, the loss of Rob Reiner, who cared deeply about humanitarian causes, feels that much more devastating. RIP: 1947-1925.

[Selfie: July 2022, NYC]

not the kind of behavior I expect from the winner of the fifa peace prize

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.
