#bbclaurak #trevorphillips I am so sick of the Sunday morning political programmes. I actually wanted to hear more about the budget + what impact it would have on the country. But both programmes are just trying to get a gotcha moment with Rachel Reeves. It is so boring listening to these questions!

Through his life and extraordinary talent, the immigrant and refugee child Tomáš Sträussler who became known to us all as Tom Stoppard made British theatre and this country a better place to be.
You might even argue that he helped redefine Englishness through his astonishing legacy of work.

have you noticed how Nigel Farage skips straight from Nathan Gill being in UKIP to Nathan Gill being in Reform UK?
