REVEALED: MI6 ran a molehunt in the 1990s after a CIA lead that the Russians had recruited an MI6 officer. Fears were of 'another Philby'. The hunt went on for years and was ultimately labelled 'inconclusive'. More details in the "The Spy in the Archive" - out in the UK next week
Typical style and swish not so much from Peter Mandelson but the brilliant @GeorgeWParker @FTMag
NEW - Peter Mandelson interview with the @FTMag: “I’ve always been capable of being diplomatic.” Reveals that George W Bush calls him "Silvertongue". His Trump World critics "young minds ploughing their own furrow on a sea of too much inauguration alcohol" ft.com/content/085e20…
And bonus ingredient of me "crashing the post" like an absolute idiot......
Hey, fellow book nerds: I had the pleasure of putting @jackbenedwards on air today to discuss the power of BookTok and the popularity of Dostoyevsky’s ‘White Nights’. Tune in at 45 past to hear Jack talking to the BBC’s Tim Franks: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…
Heartbreaking & hopeful reporting on Syria 🇸🇾 including interviews with former political prisoner @omarAlshogre & composer @MalekJandali, by @BBCTimFranks & the NewsHour team at @bbcworldservice. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w1…
Much of Syrian composer @MalekJandali's music is inspired by the protest chants of the 2011 uprising. Today, he hopes the fall of Assad can create a "symphony of peace" A real privilege to produce this interview with @BBCTimFranks. Listen here from 39:30 shorturl.at/PyAMS
I'm not sure I've ever hearted a tweet if that's what we still call it. Anyway, HEART @trafalgartree And I'm not -- as people who know me will testify -- a big xmas tree person
Instead of celebrating my iconic arrival, some of you thought that mocking me will boost your likes? Cute 💅 Since 1947, I’ve stood tall as Norway’s fir-mly rooted thank-you - I’m a timeless symbol of unity, not your clickbait. 🎄 Find out more 👇 linktr.ee/trafalgartree
More than ten years ago, I interviewed Fethullah Gülen. It was one of those interviews was a very big deal at the time.........but where the top line remained elusive. Maybe that was the point. bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
Auden, paraphrasing Valéry: "A poem is never finished, only abandoned."
Whether you think @POTUS should stay in the race or drop out -- this is a magnificent pay-off from the Lexington column in @TheEconomist

Coming up on Newshour @bbcworldservice - we have an interview with @Borbornad - just barred from the #Russia presidential election. "We had 211,000 signatures". The war in Ukraine is a "fatal mistake". I am not afraid - I hope to be in politics for 20 years more. At 14gmt
I mean, tbf, we've all done it, haven't we? bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

People’s Daily has a report today on how knitted covers have been put around iron bars in central Harbin “to stop tourists from licking the iron… out of curiosity”, and then getting their tongues stuck. Harbin is popular this time of year for its snow/ice festival.
