The US has withdrawn from GRECO, the Council of Europe’s anti-corruption watchdog, which it has been a member of since 2000, ABC reports. Russia and Belarus are the only other countries to have left the group.

Funny. When Cameron introduced the triple lock I remember everyone on the left understanding very clearly why it was a cynical bribe to Tory voters and would not amount to a hill of beans if public services like social care were cut to the bone. Some of the same comrades are now big fans. 🧐

St Cuthbert's Way, walking route Melrose to Lindisfarne, named as one of the world's top experiences. Enjoyed doing it a few years ago. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He was such a marvellous but vulnerable person, with whom I had many great conversations. He even gave me a copy of his first book.🥲

How do we think about the "Fall" of Rome today? What can we do to frame it in a more productive way? Our new open access article tries to tackle these questions and offer a new view of the scholarly narrative of the end of Rome. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Two terrific books. One handling an immense amount of information to tell a story that we may not know as well as we imagine and the other marshalling scant but fascinating evidence to shed light on a forgotten era of British kingdoms.

In June 1934 the British Union of Fascists - the Blackshirts - staged a rally at the Olympia in London. One protestor after another was singled out and beaten up by the crowd. Here's how Ronald Blythe described it.

Description of the BUF Olympia rally, at which a series of hecklers were violently attacked by Blackshirts. The sadism, Blythe writes, reached "an erotic intensity".

Stanley Baldwin's private secretary expressed shock and dismay: "It was a deeply shocking scene for an Englishman to see in London."
