New arrival at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary.
This is Cabello who arrived with us 4 days ago.
We were contacted by a vets in Dewsbury to see if we could help this poor young lady who had been taken to them following a likely road traffic accident.

Why is it that "tough choices" are always about harming the poor and disabled, and never about making the very wealthiest pay their fair share?
My piece for @MetroUK.

The reality of rescue
This afternoon this little lady was brought to us at Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary.
She was being "looked after" as a stray...however "Feeding alone is not enough"
The suffering she has encountered is immeasurable.

70 years ago, a woman discovered the structure of DNA.
But 2 Cambridge men stole her work and won the Nobel Prize.
She was erased from history and died of cancer.
Here’s how the biggest theft in science buried Rosalind Franklin’s name in history… 🧵u

#Unforgotten has always been a drama that asks its audience to lean in, concentrate & engage with complex ideas, plots & characters & we are profoundly grateful that such a VERY large & loyal audience (25m streams so far!) continue to enjoy doing exactly that. ROLL ON SERIES 7!

We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:

Dame Judi Dench teaches Mark Rylance the art of getting away with being naughty.
This is from the series Tracey Ullman’s Show and is her best impression IMVHO. She made a series of sketches featuring a misbehaving Dame Judi Dench and they’re all brilliant.
Good day to you.

Happy Birthday, Gromit
Wallace & Gromit are national treasures. This sequence from The Wrong Trousers (1993) is better than most multi-million dollar action movies, which is probably why it won an Oscar. Feathers McGraw is still terrifying. No-one's ever blinked with such menace.

Ok. This may be a little obscure but Nike Arrighi has died. She played Tanith in my all time favourite Hammer film “The Devil Rides Out” and was also in The Prisoner.
Just thought I’d make people aware. Rest in peace x
