Great interview with Robert Hastie on BBC Front Row right now - he’ll be hugely missed in Sheffield and I can’t wait to see this version of Chariots of Fire later in the month Crucible Theatre - what a legacy of amazing productions he’s left for the city and beyond.

We are asking all trade unionists and anyone else who can to come to the courts on Monday morning to support the Sheffield Campus Coalition for Palestine as the University of Sheffield seeks to evict them - we stand with Gaza and against complicity in genocide. Please come if you can. #Solidarity

Perfect timing to see Chariots of Fire Crucible Theatre this evening on the 100th anniversary. What an incredible production! All that running - so amazingly staged and choreographed with fabulous musical scoring too. We’ll miss Robert Hastie’s brilliance.

Big thanks to ⁦Rachel Cooke⁩ at The Observer for this interview with the marvellous ⁦Joshi Herrmann⁩ about local journalism What drives all of us doing this is filling that gaping void of insight that news deserts create theguardian.com/media/article/…

Hi CrossCountry Trains - have you completely stopped the fast train service between Sheffield and York that goes via Doncaster and takes about 45 minutes?! My usual commuter trains appear not to be running at the moment. Please could you advise when service will go back to normal?

Lots of big news. A positive(ish) spin on it here, but it’s pretty devastating to have to move out of the home of Museum Studies - literally and metaphorically - and at such breakneck speed. Thinking of colleagues and students during what is such a massive and unknown upheaval.
