I was delighted to see Andrew Lownie talk about how he researched and wrote “Entitled” on Friday evening last week at a meeting of The Sohemian Society. He is a fascinating and brave man, and was expertly interviewed by Ross Macfarlane. An inspiring event about the importance and power of research.

“Threatens to overshadow a very crowded day for the royals.” Wow. Important stuff. Almost as important as Piddington and Ed Sheeran.

It has arrived! This is going to make a refreshing change from reading about Vladimir Putin, a dictator who certainly benefit from a bit of a Cartlandesque glow up. Congratulations to @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social

Come on, BBC News. I’d rather hear more about Amol Rajan.

There’s a word missing from this headline, BBC News. It begins with b and rhymes with jibe.

Thoroughly enjoying @rorycormac.bsky.social’s latest, “Fakers”, on British information ops in the Cold War. Informative, thoughtful and funny. Great history, and as pacy as a novel too. (BTW, where can we got the Rory Cormac coasters?)

Overall, I thought that was rubbish, and I don’t give a tinker’s who wins. Goodnight, Vienna!

Dear BBC News, you missed out the words "pointlessly" and "inane" from the headline.

What a national embarrassment British government and politics have become. I rant on about the triviality of mainstream media, but this morning I too would rather read this classic BBC News article over the headline stories.
