Publishing twitter: would anyone be willing to help me out with my dissertation on sustainable marketing in UK publishing? I'm just looking for people to fill out a short survey, would really appreciate it if you could share with anyone you know who works in marketing! 😊

This school teacher wants to know how he can tell pupils they can achieve their goals despite 'the evidence of our eyes and ears every single day' to the contrary. James O'Brien gives his answer. @mrjamesob

Johnson & Patel want to deport refugees to Rwanda before even hearing their stories. Many have fled repression & war We spoke to a Syrian held at a UK detention centre & recorded the call Fearing retribution, his words are translated and spoken by an actor This is his story

I honestly don’t know what all the fuss is about. I’m simply asking people to accept that I am so thick I don’t know what my own rules are, so just let me get back to running the country during a war. #Parliament

ā€œI’m too lazy and/or stupid to read/understand the laws that I wroteā€ and ā€œI’m the best person to lead as the world teeters on the brink of nuclear warā€ are what lawyers might refer to as ā€œdefences in the alternativeā€.

Let us not forget just how bad Johnson and his government responded to the pandemic. They and their supporters will try and twist the truth, but the facts are too clear...

While we can get distracted by the ā€˜with’ or ā€˜from’ Covid argument, here is the excess death data…one of the good overall measures for how a nation responded to the pandemic. Ireland, Germany and France had about half as many excess deaths as the UK.

The Met Police happens to be, this week, prosecuting an alleged illegal gathering on December 18 last year. Not in Downing Street, but a house in Ilford.

#Publishing folk - is anyone having trouble booking space at LBF, especially if you took a refund from the cancelled LBF 2020? A contact is hearing there is no space left - I'm looking for others in the same position. Please share if you can! @samatlounge @PublishingTea @SYP_UK

It's your last chance to grab tickets for tomorrow's Paradise & Pandemonium! Experience sound installations & Bill Woodrow’s sculpture, all before even watching the concert. Featuring acclaimed actors, leading soloists, a full baroque orchestra, a 2 choirs, it's very tempting!

The ā€˜couth’ in the word ā€˜uncouth’ is related to the word ā€˜kith’, as in ā€˜kith and kin’, and means ā€˜known’. So, ā€˜uncouth’ originally meant ā€˜unknown’, then ā€˜unfamiliar, strange’, and only later came to mean ā€˜uncultured, bad-mannered’.
