30 years ago Michael Palin travelled across Ukraine by train when it was still part of the USSR. 15 years later he returned to an independent country. Fascinating to talk to him about it today on #sundaymorning

Well done @r4today for devoting a seven minute unchallenged interview to Djokovic. Now in the interests of balance let's see seven minute interview with a nurse who has been working in a Covid ward.

RT if you care about Downing Street parties.
People in the "real world" don't care about parties held in Downing Street during lockdown, House of Commons Leader Mark Spencer says bit.ly/3gQ9xaZ

And then there is the psychological impact on the child who witnessed adults laughingly doing such a heinous thing.

Sad news about Bamber Gascoigne. Been watching old Uni Challenges recently (I know, I know) and he was warm, funny, quick, brilliant, engaged and encouraging. And he knew all the answers.

There’s very few people in Britain today doing such a great job explaining antisemitism to wider public as @Baddiel. It is not “and other forms of racism”. It’s racism. (Also 👏 for possibly being the 1st person to refer to Schrödinger’s cat on @GMB)
Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended by The View following her controversial comments about the Holocaust when she said 'it was not about race' @Baddiel tells @susannareid100 and @adilray that Goldberg's comments reveal 'a lot about the confusions people have around anti-semitism'

I would really like the next PMQ question to be "Can the Prime Minister answer this question without saying the words "I would ask the Right Honourable Member to await the conclusions of the police inquiry"?

I feel this may be the greatest single clip of TV ever made. Reduces me to tears every time I watch to the end.
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. In 1938, Sir Nicholas Winton brought Jewish children from German-occupied Czechoslovakia to safety in the UK. Fifty years later, That’s Life reunited him with some of those children.

From today's @guardian news story on the death of Barry Cryer. Tells you why Baz was special, better than any anecdote (though there are many).
