My reputation stands untarnished.
My book has annoyed exactly those I thought might be annoyed by an economic and political approach to the question of Christian hegemony in Europe.
Anyone resorting to ad feminam remarks - like this from a cleric! - has lost the argument.
And it's doing rather well - a bestselling history title:

I was given this ‘chocolate dinosaur’ and I want to warn you there are people out there trying to pass off chocolate Permian reptiles as chocolate dinosaurs

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt has been made to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

205/. This was the protest outside #Palantir’s Soho HQ yesterday: one of 40+ demonstrations across the UK
@andyburnham must terminate their £330m NHS contract signed in 2023
If the goal is a population-wide genomic data grab, the UK will be Palantir’s Petri dish

It's publication day for my first historical novel:
The Goddess Queen! The intertwined story of Cleopatra and Antonius set against the geopolitics of the Mediterranean, 2000 years ago...
Mehdi Hasan's open letter to Louise Haigh:
"Under Article I of the Genocide Convention – which the UK acceded to back in 1970 – “contracting parties” have a duty “to prevent and to punish” genocide. It’s a “binding duty” per the UN"

Bill Bailey has cut his hair.
Now, suddenly, 90% of the population of Keynsham has longer hair than him.
This is surely a move he should've consulted us on, like a planning application. Wasn't his hair a Listed Monument? Surely he needed permission from The Wurzels or something?

Why are the Conservative press office doing this again - pretending to be some sort of independent fact checker during an election debate?
One of the most underhand and deceitful tactics of the campaign.
It feels like they are taking the British public for fools.

Dear 🇬🇧,
Our 11th #DoctorsStrike begins tomorrow with a clear message to the next govt: safe staffing for NHS patients is non-negotiable. The annual staff haemorrhage of 20,000 doctors and 40,000 nurses must end now. #PayRestoration is a patient safety necessity.
#GE2024
ALT Junior Doctor Strike in England 7AM on 27 June to 7AM on 2 July #DoctorsStrike #PayRestoration
