RT @Towler: In the churchyard of Long Chrichel is the tomb of Patrick Trevor Roper, the key figure in the Wolfendon Report, co-founder of the Terence Higgins trust.
RT @HowardCCox: How would you like to give even more of your hard earned cash to these two and 7 other City Mayors? They want more control!
RT @BNHWalker: Wrote about my anxieties with Starmer:

RT @Nikos_17: This summer in The Academy, I'm talking about the author I hate to love: Michel Houellebecq.
Will include references to postmodern conservatives, the politics of shitposting & the Talibans.
A great intellectual retreat, with some of my favourite people: https://theboi.co.uk/the-academy-2022-the-old-roots-of-new-normal
RT @scottygb: Worth remembering that this is not the outcome that Ukraine wanted - just last month Zelenskyy was highlighting the importance of the Contest being held in Ukraine
RT @broderly: Jean-Luc Mélenchon told press this morning: "If I'm prime minister by Monday, Julian Assange will be naturalised as French — and given a medal". Rather than drop his principled positions, JLM has pushed them onto the agenda by building a base outside old media and party machines
RT @spikedonline: This is your last chance to apply for our paid internship programme. Fancy cutting your teeth at the best political magazine in the world? Then apply now. Applications close on Monday! https://www.spiked-online.com/2022/05/03/apply-now-for-spikeds-internship-programme/
RT @jamesmurray88: The Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill has now passed to the Lords and second reading will take place on 28 June 2022. Following Report stage in the Commons, a number of changes have been made. I have attached a redline, but here is a summary of the key changes:
RT @SimonMagus: Look at this ffs. We live in places where we literally have water on tap, where every shop can sell you water in a bottle and every bar will give you a glass of tap water for nowt.
We are not going to dehydrate because it is a bit hot and we have a beer or a cup of coffee.
RT @thephilippics: From sovereignty as a redundant artefact in a world of globalisation (Brexit), to the EU now being the defender of sovereignty (Ukraine), there is no other institution in the Western world as dedicated to hypocrisy and confusion as the Remainer press.
RT @dp_williamson: Home Office statement on the ordering of Julian Assange's extradition.
RT @harryph: The state is responsible for the housing shortage - by restricting supply through the planning system. Scapegoating landlords will not help.
Looking forward to joining you later @ChrisMasonBBC - a real treat doing #bbcaq in North Wales.
RT @ChrisMasonBBC: My penultimate Any Questions trip 😢. The third weekend of our islands tour: Isle of Wight&Guernsey done, the Shetland Islands next week, en route to Anglesey now. @bbcradio4 at eight o’clock this evening and ten past one every Saturday lunchtime #bbcaq
RT @abby_claron: Interesting turn of events - the SU now feels the need to publicly announce they are “investigating” us (6 months later) but still won’t provide any grounds or explain how it is compatible with their duty to uphold the law & freedom of speech🤔
RT @theboi_uk: What can the novels of Michel Houellebecq tell us about the limits of modernity, and the crises of meaning in the modern world?
Join us at Academy 2022 for this lecture by @Nikos_17 - one of a whole weekend of discussions.

RT @JSimpsonjourno: Brilliant summary here from @Grainne_Cuffe on the key changes included in the Social Housing Regulation Bill.
Cannot understate how big some of the changes in the bill are for the way the sector operates and is regulated.
Important providers pay attention to its contents👀
RT @GlynneVW: Quite right Peter Hitchens.
My favourite announcement at New St station is, "We apologise for the delay to this service, which is due to the previous train being delayed." These private companies have ready-made excuses.
RT @holysmoke: The world premiere of Sir James MacMillan's glorious motet "In Carmel's Shade" (a quote from St Thérèse of Lisieux) will be at my dear sister Carmel's memorial service at 7pm June 28 at the Ordinariate Church in Warwick St W1. Everyone is welcome!
RT @theboi_uk: It’s #Bloomsday and we’re excited for the Academy 2022 lecture on the James Joyce’s modernism, looking back at 100 years of Ulysses
It’s one of many great discussions over a packed weekend.

RT @MartinKulldorff: Missouri and Louisiana attorney generals @Eric_Schmitt and @JeffLandry have filed a motion against the federal government for colluding with BigTech to censor Americans. As a censored scientist, I have provided a declaration for this free-speech lawsuit. This is important!
