This is no defence at all of Huw Edwards but the law as it stands is extraordinary in its scope. If making an indecent image includes receiving an image “even if unsolicited” then anyone with a phone can become a criminal entirely at the whim of someone else.

Who remembers this. One of the greatest symbols of Putin's tyranny we were told, despicable, all the hallmarks of the authoritarian state. And yet individuals today in the UK who peacefully blocked a motorway have been jailed for more than double this sentence.

Come for the history (in 1840, future French PM rating reading lists of working men in Manchester), stay for the critique (“class structures are essentially tribal, [middle-class gatekeepers] will look to their own to fill vacancies”). Such a great piece. manchestermill.co.uk/p/do-ma…

I am very uncomfortable with a billionaire author getting privileged access to a party that may shortly be in power, to discuss the rights of a minority group she doesn’t belong to, who have experienced a massive increase in hate crime, and who she believes have too many rights.

Mind blowing how fast he would be expelled for these remarks if he was on the left of the party.

Ah man, he looks like a dachshund that's been tethered outside a shop.
All day I’ve thought he couldn’t possibly call a general election in the rain. This is why.

Should prob do one of those “if you’re looking for a stocking filler for that special wonky intellectual” posts but I’m all promoted out for this life so this’ll have to suffice. Basically buy my book, for yourself or someone else, if you haven’t already, but only if you want to
“Grounded in the region’s dissident art and culture as well as its history of industrial innovation and invention, Alex Niven’s book provides the North with an optimistic vision for the future, a collective narrative for which northerners can claim shared ownership.”

Research help - RTs appreciated #WorldAIDSDay is 1 December. #QueerHistory is incredible, but it is often not recorded/written down, so it will be lost. I really want to find & interview John O’Reilly, a nurse on the AIDS Ward, Middlesex Hospital, London. He has an NI accent

Shocked to have just been messaged that as I write, the London regional party at #LabourPartyConference is sponsored by a Buy Now Pay Later firm. And the founder was given platform to speak against regulation. Have these firms bought influence with every UK polical party? @Keir_Starmer are you now anti regulation too?

A group of hard-right Brexiteers, including a former head of MI6, secretly attacked a top science journal after their debunked paper on an "alternative" Covid vaccine was rejected. From @ComputerWeekly & @BylineTimes, this is a MUST READ 👇 computerweekly.com/news/3665…
