But, to return to my soapbox, an appeals system is as vital to a justice system as trials and sentences themselves. It’s not a frilly extra for spoiled criminals. It is how we ensure errors are corrected and justice is done to everybody. Because justice only for good people is no justice at all.
The President of the USA, on the day after a complete rout for his party, is pointing out all the exceptional features of his cheesecake ballroom, just like an exceptionally awful estate agent.
#America I make a deep bow to you. Extremely well done, bring me #Mississippi and I’ll release you from my opprobrium. I’ll release you anyway, you deserve it. But don’t get too giddy….you’ve a lot to do.
Ian McKellen reciting Shakespeare's writing on racist anti-immigration riots in London during his time. It is excellent. They have been banging the same drum for 400 years.
Chris Wickham’s death. I’m very sad. Chris was my tutor, he sat through undergraduate seminars with grace & enthusiasm & came to a fancy dress party I hosted dressed as Zapata. Not just a medievalist. He credited his mother’s photos in his early books. A delight of a human. “Always ask, why now?”
Why don't #CryptoBillionaires want to give away their money for things like libraries, hospitals & joy-filled things? Carnegie's legacy is one that benefits us today. These #CryptoChaps like to fund stuff that breaks things or rockets. We need neither. They are far too rich and far too lawless.
#StarterPacks is there a surge? Perhaps we just need one mega pack so we can all follow everyone and be utterly befuddled.
Siegfried Sassoon, Poet, #BornOnThisDay in 1886, in Matfield, Kent, England From ‘The Last Meeting’: “I know that he is lost among the stars, And may return no more but in their light. Though his hushed voice may call me in the stir Of whispering trees, I shall not understand.”
Oysters in a shed with various forms of Guinness as large amounts of money to be laundered was chatted about.. Deeply wrong, deeply depressing and deeply corrupt. And deeply tacky. #Farage #Reform #Corruption
Can’t explain it either but people can sign my parliamentary petition to which the government will have to respond. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Yesterday’s quote but true today and yesterday, ever was and will be. Enrichment comes from taking someone else’s money. Someone less powerful. Looking at all of you billion and trillionaires. #Balzac
Give me strength to face another day of nonsense whilst the world burns.
Honestly, start paying more attention to the women. They've been in the finals of the last three major tournaments and won two of them, plus it's genuinely decent football.
The world is burning but I couldn’t help noticing that teasels lose petals leaving rings behind. Faintly echoes of McEnroe’s unfortunate headband era.
Happy expiry of delegated powers under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act Day to all those who celebrate. May your revocations, restatements and replacements henceforth be delivered through other enabling Acts.
1/ Eighty cities just told Flock to take its license plate cameras and go. No viral moment, no executive order. Just residents reading contracts, showing up at council meetings, and voting the dragnet out. Here is how they did it. You can do it, too🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocrac
Striking fact about the Makerfield election: left-right divide has barely budged in the last three GEs (7 years). Lab+LD+Green have gained 53-56 per cent of the votes each time; Con+Ref+Restore 43-47. All the action has been voter movements within each tribe. (Table from @peterkellner.bsky.social)
Rashford. My lovely boy. Set up by Saka, my other lovely boy.
In a field near Wicken, Cambridgeshire larkspur is grown for London florists along with cornflowers & Nigella. It’s quite a sight just now-some floral dopamine for you 🌿:
