Deeply irritating when someone gives away the book's ending. 200 pages in, 450 pages to go, and one of the major plot questions has been blurted out. Almost as bad as that time Dad slagged off the big twist at the end of Murder on the Orient Express on grounds of implausibility "Don't worry darling, it's impossible to guess who did it and it doesn't really make sense anyway" YES BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT DAD

If venues wish to impose them that’s their right, in my view, but I think Matthew Parris misses some important points here

He assumes they *are* needed, but why, when vaccine take up has been extraordinarily high and we were told that alone was the route out of lockdown? I’ll be getting my jab when offered, because it’ll bring us nearer herd immunity, not because I am esp concerned about my own risks from covid. Uncomfortable with the idea of doing it so we can exclude the very small number who, for whatever reason, don’t wish to be vaccinated

So ignorant on racing but it’s not the same to watch without a bit of skin in the game. Who should I bet on? Went for Potters Corner for Rowling reasons, Taking Risks because I shouldn’t be betting on stuff I don’t understand and Jett for a mixture of Gladiators and Alan Partridge #hoofundsyou

The @Telegraph paywall is down today, and I wanted to reshare a few of my favourite pieces from the last year.

Firstly, this quite tricky-to-write article about mental health and the return of old demons under lockdown telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/11/0… On Meghan, Harry and the echoes of Jackie Kennedy's Camelot myth in THAT interview telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/1…
