On Monday evening I attended the opening night of Krapps Last Tape at York Theatre Royal. An absolute master class by the magnificent Gary Oldman. Bravo 👏.

Like many, I am appalled at the behaviour of Trump and Vance. Zelensky showed extreme composure as they bullied him.

I'm coming at this late. Just seen this. It might be the single worst moment in intentional politics that I have ever witnessed.
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.

Trump and Vance’s shameful behavior has embarrassed their country. President Zelenskyy is a hero. He should have been treated as such
Jeez. This is absolutely appalling & shameful from Trump and Vance. President Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous ACTUAL dictator called Vladimir Putin

I hope MPs will vote today to give power back to those who feel powerless at end of life. Yes we need better palliative care, but best chance of that is by passing this bill. Whatever happens, big shout out to @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social for a good & compassionate campaign @dignityindying.org.uk

Beguilingly straightforward from Jane Goodall.
“Surely people want a future for their children. If they do, we have to get tougher about [environmental] legislation.
“We don't have much time left to start helping the environment. We've done so much to destroy it.”

Welcome to Blue Sky.
Perfect for a dull November morning in North Yorkshire...
My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.
Morning.
Morning.
