I have long said stamp duty is among our worst taxes. So what do we have? An increase for those buying second properties. You might think fine: a tax on rich people and landlords. But those looking to rent will pay part of the cost as fewer properties made available. I despair...

Any suggestion that Birmingham's art should be sold to help the city council balance its books is for the birds. Arts & Culture is the lifeblood of Brum and the wider West Midlands. The sector needs protecting and growing, not sabotaging.

Incredible summer of sport comes to a close. It has been a privilege to cover so many emotional moments over the past few weeks and this closer by my brilliant @BBCSport colleagues, is the perfect way to say goodbye

Gusty Spinfield, our Glastonbury-regular, travelling pink wind turbine, is coming to London to power 🍔🧃 stands at @yourAllyPally outdoor gigs incl Kaleidoscope Festival in July! Just days post Glasto, she’ll be up at Ally Pally. Wind isn’t just greener: it’s faster & cheaper.

Kids, don’t take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy.

A Russian soldier surrendered. Ukrainians gave him tea, food, and let him call his mother on video. I want to cry from how much I love my country.

77 years ago today over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today we all remember. We must remember. | #Auschwitz77

Comparing Netflix to BBC on #Today prog. Not really comparable 1) Netflix isn’t live 2) doesn’t do news 3) doesn’t have public service mandate 4) a LOT of content on Netflix originally made by BBC. Beware lazy arguments. BBC is public owned and accountable to public Netflix not.
