“We are sleepwalking into permanent mediocrity.” Lord Bragg expressed his concern about the loss of arts organisations over recent years and a deterioration of UK culture.

“The arts are not the cherry on the cake — they are the cake.” Opening a debate in the House of Lords yesterday, Melvyn Bragg said the UK should realise the full potential of the arts to transform our economy and society.

The deadline had passed but I begged the publisher to let me get the chapter about Tina in. So so pleased I did now. Book is out in 10 days. I will use every single cent I earn to help build her hospital. A Pre-order here helps massively 🙏🥰 niallharbison.lnk.to/Hope

Dear @RishiSunak & @Keir_Starmer & colleagues. Please work together to fight climate change. Please don't make it a wedge issue or political football. We don't have time, and you need to be bigger than your fears & careers. "The Climate Is a-Changin'": 👉youtu.be/TiL-rjcAgWY

Entrepreneurial local students will valet your car outside your door. Highly recommended per personal experience.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that while I was at the traffic lights today in my local area (around 1 pm,) a man came over and distracted me by looking for directions. He was pretty believable, but as that was happening, another man came behind me to unhook Molly from her lead to grab her! Molly did make a run from that person, but he put her in danger as she ran towards the busy road. Thankfully a woman in her car spotted it and jumped out of her car to stop the traffic and assist me in retrieving Molly. I'm a little shocked that it happened, especially after the great morning we had with our training. Molly is now safe and sound in her bed with lots of kisses and cuddles. All I can say is to be alert for scammers like that. As I still can't believe it happened. #DogLovers #Beaware.

This is an extreme long shot but maybe #IrishTwitter can just do it. My mam lost her custom made hearing aid in the Glenville/Newtown area of #Waterford or possibly Passage East. It’s useless to anyone except her. It’s identical to this but the blue part is red. RT plz
