Nicholas Winton helped 669 Jewish children escape the Nazis. His efforts went unrecognized for 50 years. Then in 1988, while sitting as a member of a TV audience, he suddenly found himself surrounded by the kids he’d rescued, now adults.
I like to remember this every Jan 27th.

Gosling is a legend.
I’m just Glen.
An unnamed Hollywood producer says Glen Powell is the biggest up-and-coming movie star “in the sense that audiences now go to movies to see him”
“Unlike an actor like Ryan Gosling whose appeal is mostly limited to female audiences, Glen appeals to both females and males.”

Just seen a parent holding a child looking out at the racist rioters at the Rotherham hotel. This man was throwing stones at the windows. Twitter do your thing - find him tell the police.

I am deeply saddened by the horrific and unprovoked attack on an officer yesterday. Our Armed Forces make extraordinary sacrifices to defend our nation and deserve to be respected.
My thoughts and best wishes are with him and his family. They have the full support of the chain of command as they recover from this horrendous incident.

What image from the last 14 years will you remember when you vote on Thursday ?

This is a pretty extraordinary moment. You rarely see Zelensky emotional. A US D-Day veteran grasps his hand and tells him he’s the "savior of the people." Zelensky replies: “No, no, you. You saved Europe."

What a vivid and shocking contrast: the sacrifice of all those brave men so that 80 years on the prime minister could cut short his visit to where they fell so that he could return to London to attack his opponent.
On such judgements we learn about character
The 80th anniversary of D-Day has been a profound moment to honour the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our values, our freedom and our democracy.
This anniversary should be about those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The last thing I want is for the commemorations to be overshadowed by politics.
I care deeply about veterans and have been honoured to represent the UK at a number of events in Portsmouth and France over the past two days and to meet those who fought so bravely.
After the conclusion of the British event in Normandy, I returned back to the UK. On reflection, it was a mistake not to stay in France longer – and I apologise.
