September 2026 marks 360 years since the Great Fire of London which took place in September 1666. It also reminds us of that time we found a letter in the Archive dated 1661, sent from #Orkney to an address in Pudding Lane, London - the very place the fire began. 🔥

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Think Reform fucked it with their donations. They're so outrageous, so obviously obscene, that they've managed to accidentally create a consensus for tougher action on political funding.

£72 million from 2 individuals - both of whom have faced questions about money laundering, both of whom live/d overseas to avoid tax - is not compatible with democracy. I don't care if it's Reform, Labour or whoever. We can't function like this. Not for long. So how do we fix it? My plan:

Prof. Timothy Snyder argues Trump fundamentally misunderstands trade: buying more from Canada than America sells there doesn't mean the U.S. is being “ripped off.” Tariffs instead make affected Canadian goods more expensive for U.S. buyers. #Trump #Canada #Trade #Economics

One of the most annoying features of the tabloids is the way they report their own opinions as news. So "We have decided to attack Bridget Phillipson as a class-warrior" becomes "Bridget Phillipson is in the centre of a new 'class-war' row". They're partisan attack dogs,pretending to be newspapers

The basic issue is that the UK economy, not very dynamic at the best of times, has been shown not to function for growth outside the single market. Nobody has a solution for this and every government since Brexit has collapsed whilst pretending there are other solutions.

From James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time #booksky 💙📚
Life is tragic simply because the earth turns, and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have.
It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death—ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible to life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return. One must negotiate this passage as nobly as pos-sible, for the sake of those who are coming after us. 6

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.
