I will accept Nigel Farage’s request to be appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. It is a farce and a desperate distraction, and the people of Clacton deserve better. But if he wants to spend the summer arguing with a bin, I won't stop him.

Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Greens: I demand you stand down in Clacton. I will be a unity candidate and pledge to build at least one affordable house. Nigel Farage says he wants The People versus the Establishment. So be it. Leave him to me.

On behalf of @blmedieval, huge congratulations to @bodleianlibs for their successful fundraising campaign to acquire this remarkable manuscript. It was an incredible moment when we first identified Duke Humfrey's inscription. The manuscript has found a very good home!

Lovely visit to Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts today. Lots of high tech facilities of course but it was the glimpses of the building’s heritage that were most striking. #Liverpool

This is really useful! I have learned a lot!
We've seen a few comments querying if gritters have been out in Liverpool. Yes. 7 vehicles treat our major routes covering 600km on each run. The 13th run since Sat starts shortly. But there's some confusion about the impact of gritting. So let's debunk some myths 🧵...

Looking for UK-based early music reviewers for recordings, especially 17th- and 18th-century repertoire, for the OUP journal Early Music. Our reviewers tend to be postgraduates, academic staff, or professional musicians specialising in this area. DM me if interested.

So far in 1066: • Edward the Confessor has died. • Harold Godwineson has been named king instead of Edgar Ætheling. • Edward has been buried. • Harold has been crowned. It's still only 6 January.

On learning that “bollocks” is not an appropriate contribution to polite conversation, and asking what it means, my daughter has asked if “testicles” is better. I’ve said yes, go right ahead. My New Year’s resolution is to be better at parenting.
