Tom on #BritainsGotTalent is already a performer nurtured by Simon and with a record deal. I know that it’s all a bit of a confection but sometimes it would be nice to believe in the genuine discovery of the amateur for a little longer
And yes I have a bias here:
This has echoes of when they shoe horned the Greatest Showman singer lady in
I have said it before but I do think that BGT producers need to dial down the manipulation - so much more allergic to it post pandemic

All recent public inquiries have relied heavily on analysts to create timelines that flag key moments and decisions. Jan - April 2020 will be chock-full of such flags in Hallet’s inquiry and often they will contradict or overlap. Tens of agencies will have their own line…
…usually marked by a different colour. However one of many challenges for the inquiry is to work out what lies behind the flags and how they should be interpreted and exactly who has the inside track.
I have found interviews with Cleo Watson to promote “Whips” very revealing here (excuse the pun). Interestingly the detail in You Magazine about the pressures on Number 10 in mid- March don’t make it to the online edition but they tell me a lot about what messages might contain Image

This is ABSOLUTELY the playbook of post disaster inquiries - new phone, new laptop, new pigeons

I really like this article by @whippletom but it struggles, like so many pieces (and the inquiry to come) with the fact that there were plans and planners and planning- which means that everything that was done was a choice
Choices - cut budgets for U.K. pandemic planning: sell off PPE stockpile; decline appts for major exercises; fail to implement suggested changes to how we communicate science in emergencies; close pandemic death mgt stream at Home Office…
…fail to implement lessons from Cygnus; fail to evaluate how ethical frameworks would be used; increase use of behavioural insight across emergency response; sell pandemic training to a private provider…

Ministers do not care about big or little boats (nice yachts maybe). Or rapists on boats. You are once again being played. The law will fail (it’s illegal). They will say MOTD presenters ruined it for all of us. We will tear each other apart. They will holiday in Monaco and watch
They laugh at your accents, your clothes, your foods, your sports, your passions, your dreams, your children. They are using the things you care about and the worries you have to manipulate you. It’s all they know how to do now.

Incredibly powerful, terrifying and well made piece by Claudia Collins on social media use and teens. Particularly the way the algorithm pushes out content on suicide, anorexia and self harm constantly @BBCBreakfast @DamianCollins
Here it is:
Grateful always to practitioners like @suz_rudnik who pick up the pieces of this every day

I have come to know that cruel phrase that its time to move on well. I have seen the air sucked out of a room when civil servants have used it on grieving mothers and still injured survivors. I've seen it said to flooded communities still living in caravans and back bedrooms.
To veterans re-learning how to walk again. To responders who are not eating or sleeping properly yet or ever, whose marriages are falling apart day by day, because they can’t find the words to say what they have seen. To school mates.
In the aftermath of disaster, you learn that they are quite capable of saying it to people – even as tears run down faces or the recipients of this advice ball up little bits of tissue into their hands until they are confetti. A junior civil servant just moves the tissue to a bin
