Sean dealt with his illness with enormous courage. He maintained his dignity all the way through, regularly punching back at it with his brilliant wit. I never saw a hint of self-pity. It was humbling. We’ll miss him so much, won’t we. He just made things better.

Currently isolating in a Budapest hotel room with a covid positive test. Boredom will oblige me to try to produce a thought provoking photo each day using only the limited materials at my disposal. Wish me luck and God save the Queen (in a fascist regime).

Today I attempted to draw George Harrison and ended up with someone vaguely resembling Brian Cox. My brother in law told me to keep trying because ‘things can only get better’.

The French are tearing the streets up because of two extra years of work while England does nothing, as mechanisms of accountability and our rights to protest are systematically and matter-of-factly disappeared. Kind of sobering. Or it should be, shouldn’t it?

The one thing you can’t call someone in the HOC is a liar. Ironic isn’t it, given that Boris Johnson is a lying liar who tells lying lies and when he’s not telling lying lies he is telling other lying lies because he is a lying lie-telling liar.

What’s that? A new series of ‘Kevin Eldon Will See You Now’ (#KEWSYN) featuring an Italian genius, a giraffe on a pulley, and Britain's noisiest toast? But how on earth will people know to tune in to @BBCRadio4 this Thursday at 11pm to hear it?

That Penny Mordaunt is really good at doing a serious face. So she should definitely be the leader. Johnson can’t stop smirking, Sunak can’t stop laughing and Truss’s face didn’t really do anything. All hail Penny’s serious face!

Two very old gentlemen helped each other to their feet and took in an ovation they went on and on. I lip-read Ray saying to Alan ‘Is this for us?’ Yes it was, Ray, and the ovation will continue indefinitely.

A friend has sent me this. On tour 2004. I’ve never seen it before. Andy Smart constantly leaked joy all over the place. Everyone who was lucky enough to be around him was always uplifted. Our hearts are heavy now. A beautiful man. We’ll miss him very much.

Private Eye years ahead of the game with regards to the downright criminal way 39 post office workers were cruelly traduced by The Post Office. Forget the others, PI is about the only journalistic outfit consistently and doggedly pointing the finger at some properly Bad People.

The Telegraph recently printed a story saying 'insiders' had told them the new BBC Director General Mark Davie will say there's been too much bias in comedy against the govt and the right in general and that he'll be clamping down on 'left wing' comedy. He said no such thing.

These good people intend to make the govt. answer to charges of unethical cronyism re financing Covid management. That the govt. are resorting to the tactics outlined shows they’re rattled. Let’s dig as deep as we can. We’ve got to shine a light on exactly what’s been going on
NEW: Government has hit us with a shock legal bill in our challenge with @RunnymedeTrust over its appointment of Conservative Peer Dido Harding to run Test and Trace - without open competition. If we don’t defend this, we don’t see who else can.
