Bit different from our last visit to Morwenstow, when the heatwave turned everything a burnt orange. We haven't been walking for a while. I managed to tear the ligament in my big toe and couldn't walk at all for a while. Back to it now, though... Best toe forward, and all that. 😊🐾

Farage says Burnham’s National Centre for Information Defence will “clamp down on free speech”. The government says it will target hostile foreign information attacks. Farage’s Brexit Party voted against stronger action on Russian propaganda in 2019.

The RNLI rescued Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 because the organisation is there to 'save life at sea' - it's something to be immensely proud of. But as I've said many times before Farage and Co don't seem to have pride in Britain and its institutions beyond flags and crap Enoch Powell said 60 years ago.

This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

🧵Early subscription libraries in Yorkshire emerged in the 18th century. These libraries allowed middle-class members to pool money to buy and preserve books. The most important example is The Leeds Library, founded in 1768 and the oldest surviving proprietary subscription
