Israel have played this wrong. They could have leant into the ethos of the competition and gone with some humility and talked about a peaceful future but this young girl is being used a propaganda. The EBU have lost a lot of good will and Holland was clearly one of the favourites

I was in Ethiopia when The Timeless Child episode was broadcast and I wasn't able to watch it for over a week. There was nothing online which was a coherent critique of what was actually on screen. Those that praised it just gushed with little supporting evidence and those that hated it did so with very little coherence. I might watch Space Babies tomorrow morning or I might do a double bill on Sunday.

My third unique for my theme team

They are expected to make gains in areas where Labour have never really done well The Southwest in particular. The Tories lost all their councillors in Cheltenham which was a seat held by the Lib Dems between 1992 and 2015 currently held by minister Alex Chalk

I do realise that it was probably unfair of me to single out Adele for that gag in a list that contains Cee Lo Green but I might be more generous to her if my first reaction on hearing her sing is to steer ships away from dangerous coastlines

And Adele

Liam Rosenior out at Hull after they failed to make the Play-offs. Seems a little ungrateful but there you go

I notice that the Semi-Final tonight is actually on BBC1. Previously I am sure it has been on BBC3/4

I will stand by your decision as game runner and if you decide to remove it just transfer my points to Telephone

I can't decide on the Irish entry if it is just the right side of crazy to appeal to the Eurovision audience or slightly too far out. It would not surprise me if it didn't qualify for the final
