Very proud of my 16-year-old boy who played the last post at our remembrance Sunday service at the war memorial today.

James Norton as Father Christmas is aimed entirely at me and my demographic (middle aged women with money to spend in @marksandspencer) and I don't care about this one jot.
As a Christian, I found the performative nature of Brand's conversion repulsive. Of course we welcome anyone; but conversion can be quiet and private. Selfies, baptisms in pants, social media everywhere... Grim faith washing.

It's really interesting what happens when journalists leave an Ofcom regulated environment (TV news) for an unregulated environment (podcasting), and decide to express their opinions and personality. It can work well. It can also backfire.
The radio recording of that Learjet crash makes me want to vomit. I really don't think that should be publicly available.

Can I just say, UK people, that we still have bonfire night to do before we can think about Christmas. That is the law, I'm afraid.
Just been to see the new Ghosts movie with my husband and the kids - 16 and 12. We all loved it and came out laughing and feeling buoyed. Perfect family outing. @simonfarnaby

YEP. Right now, my 94-year-old father-in-law, who has dementia, has no functioning phone. It's digital now and hasn't been working since the storms in Cornwall a few days ago. No sign of when it will be fixed. Awful @bt_uk bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c6x2…
A cautionary tale about the unreliability of AI. It's impossible these days to avoid AI when you search on Google, which is what I did when I wanted to find out which libraries are stocking my novel, My Silent Sister. I was gobsmacked by what it did...

His interview on Life Changing was a compelling listen.

Unless his previous employers (Oman Air) provided a reference disclosing their concerns, I'm not sure what 'checks' would have helped. He doesn't seem to have a conviction of any kind. cnn.com/2026/10/02/world/fly…
There's something confusing me about the Fly Dubai incident. How did anyone get into the flight deck? Did the injured captain somehow open the door, while he was being attacked?
So excited to have My Silent Sister in readers' hands this week.

September 11th was a day of unimaginable horror. As a pilot's spouse, it's a day I dread him working (illogical, I know.) He's been working all week and he got home safety yesterday. Thinking of all the 9/11 aviation families whose loved ones didn't.

And this is why they ask you at check in if you have any lithium battery containing items in your checked luggage. Always be honest! This could be catastrophic in the hold of a flying aircraft.
Video of fire on baggage container with luggage to be loaded onto BA585 just now at Milan Malpensa. Smart move to get the other containers out of the way before fire spread. If cause was lithium battery glad fire was there and not on plane
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The fire was in a baggage handling cart belonging to Aviapartner that had just unloaded luggage from an arriving British Airways flight from London, not in a container of luggage to be loaded onto the departing BA585; the cause was a short circuit, not a lithium battery. tg24.sky.it/cronaca/2026/0… ansa.it/sito/notizie/c…
