This kind of thing is extraordinary. An MP. We must put a compulsory basic economics/business course in place before these people are allowed to take their seats.

We have some news. This autumn we are opening a second Persephone bookshop – in London, in Fitzrovia to be precise. We had not actually been planning this, but by chance we heard about a 1767 four-storey house that had become available... More info here: persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/…

I listened to exactly 30 seconds of @BBCWomensHour before shouting at the radio!
Where have been all the brave, amazing women who are shaping history? Why has women’s hour never interview me or @DeniseFahmy about the utter scandal happening in the arts currently? Get @Freedom_in_Arts on!

At our Parliament event, Sophie Winkleman makes a joint statement with neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath: we have to teach children how to think and AI teaches children how NOT to think.
We must say a very loud No to AI in schools.

The utterly imitable and extremely talented @roisinmurphy speaking at our @Freedom_in_Arts new toolkit launch in Westminster this week.
Please watch this. If you’re not in the arts this will be important. If you are in the arts heed her warning.
“The creative soul of this country, and of Europe, has always thrived on discomfort, on the freedom to be wrong, to offend, to pivot, and to surprise ourselves. Without that freedom, we don’t get better art. We simply put artists in a chokehold and suffocate life out of our culture.
We need free inquiry and open debate. The arts- must - breathe freely again.”

It is very strange to publish an article on the gender dynamics of mass shooters and not mention that the two "female" shooters used as flagship examples here were biologically male. Males commit more than 90% of violent crimes.
