Had fun making this with @KirstyWark yesterday. Like Wes, I like going back to work with the same people, who in this case were the incredible:
🎥: #keithmorris and #justinmills
GFX: #cathspeight
Teacakes: model’s own
As the ‘You better not be acting like you're in a Wes Anderson film’ trend sweeps TikTok, our own @KirstyWark thought she’d join in…

Great thread on the stunning new Bon Iver song, and why Justin Vernon is so much better than his many imitators

It's fortunate we have cinema. Otherwise what would be the point in anyone looking like Alain Delon?

Delighted for Rob that the most compelling part of his excellent book will now get a dramatic glow-up with an absolutely stellar cast and crew.
My book tells the story of the extraordinary relationship between Brian Walden and Margaret Thatcher. Next year a new @Channel4 drama based on my book will land, starring Harriet Walter & Steve Coogan, script by @mrJamesGraham, directed by Stephen Frears. deadline.com/2024/06/channel…
Ben has been such a wonderful colleague - I'm always blown away by his ability to take complex stories and explain them clearly and impartially (and visually). He makes it look so easy (it's not). We'll miss him, but BBC Verify will be a great new home for his journalism.
Getting ready for my last hit on #Newsnight as economics editor, talking about the financial state of the water sector 💦
It’s been an amazing privilege!
I start on Monday at BBC Verify as Policy and Analysis Correspondent - see you all there!
Sad to say farewell to a lovely colleague and friend - and scoop-finder extraordinaire. Great that her amazing investigations will now have an even bigger platform.
My last day on #Newsnight after 2 & half very exciting yrs on this legendary prog. Respect & thanks to its amazing team of editors & producers past & present - you’re truly best in biz. Wish lots of luck to show in its new format. Fresh set of challenges await me ..
