The courage of those who set out to save those at risk of drowning can never be overestimated. Each rescue is a challenge. I used to watch the Orkney lifeboat head out into rough seas with my heart in my mouth. Remarkable bravery. Donate to the #RNLI here: shop.rnli.org/products/don...

Every year, people mock this tree. But I love it anyway. It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything. Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄✨

A letter from the age of truth. Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley. We need more of this in our public discourse. Call vile ideologies and the people who peddle them out for who and what they are.

Dear Sir Oswald,

Thank you for your letter and for your enclosures. I have given some thought to our recent correspondence. It is always difficult to decide on how to respond to people whose ethos is so alien and, in fact, repellent to one's own. It is not that I take exception to the general points made by you but that every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, compulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism.

I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us.

I should like you to understand the intensity of this conviction on my part. It is not out of any attempt to be rude that I say this but because of all that I value in human experience and human achievement.

Yours sincerely,

Bertrand Russell

It has to asked why it is that politicians in the UK don't have the backbone to say this like it is too?

I'd add that what "unlimited parliamentary supremacy" means in practice has changed over time. The idea emerged in an era when there were two chambers with near-equal powers, party discipline was weak, the scope of legislation was less extensive & passing major legislation was genuinely hard.

The right-wing press is going mad over votes at 16 ("a naked attempt to twist democracy in Labour’s favour", an "election-rigging move"...) Oddly, they said the same 100 years ago when the voting age for women fell from 30 to 21. Let's revisit the Mail's campaign to"Stop the Flapper Vote Folly"...

Headline from the Daily Mail, 11 April 1927: "Stop the Flapper-Vote Folly!"

‘Reform is launching a drive to raise funds from wealthy offshore donors in low tax jurisdictions including Monaco, UAE and Switzerland.’ Britain’s election laws are broken - and, so far, Labour’s mooted fixes are completely insufficient www.ft.com/content/b133...

Due to a series of events, it's December again. And for the fifth year, I'm going to do an advent calendar of carols. Sub-category: Ones I particularly like. Something old, something new, nothing cheeky, nothing blue. I'll link to them all in this thread and do a YouTube playlist as well.

Just realised Radio 3 are not running a Christmas carol competition this year. I haven't universally liked the winners in the past, but it's a nice idea for commissioning of new works.

One of the most precious things about Remembrance is that it sets no political tests. It asks only that we "remember", and that we do so in the silence of our own thoughts. It doesn't dictate what we remember, how we remember or what lessons we draw. That's between ourselves and our conscience.🧵

Btw Twitter has been a huge driver of reader for my Democracy for Sale newsletter. Would *love* if Bluesky could become that instead. But need some help. Perhaps people should share the original post below so it travels as far as possible?

Reassuring to know that in a changing world Dan Hannan still remains consistent in knowing nothing about the EU, trade, or negotiations, and the Telegraph is still happy to broadcast such ignorance. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08...
