That IS good news! If only there were an upcoming event for people to learn more about the Bayeux Tapestry and related events, say, a public lecture…

Clear evidence that Labour in its current guise is done for: void of socialist principles, lacking in identity, ignorant (at best) or dismissive (at worst) of its origins, alien to the working class, desperate to please right-wingers & billionaires. Time for a reset & some serious soul-searching.

The first 💯 tickets went in just three days! 🤗 Get yours while you can, folks!

And remember: attendance is free, there’ll be a reception afterwards, and everyone‘s welcome!

reminder that if reform had won, this would have been the excuse for labour to double down on the most abhorrent rubbish. now they’ve been outflanked on the left, what? a single shred of reflection on the myth of hero voters? a man can DREAM

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say!

It’s worse: MC are shifting their resources into launching Carling Black Label 🤮

Shame they didn’t have the Nobel Peace Prize in the 11th century…

A much-anticipated publication—I had the privilege to read it in draft form—that will be immensely useful for teaching!

A close friend of mine (also a medievalist) once went to a conference where someone who’d never met me swore blind that I was Walter’s son and wouldn’t be persuaded otherwise…

Pohlar opposites?

Must be one hell of a grant!

After many years of awkward introductions, the record has finally, and conclusively, been set straight.

I have SO many questions…

Systematic self-destruction.

Fancy knowing more about the Bayeux Tapestry? At a free public lecture and reception?? Look no further! 👁️ 👁️

And if you do, why not process it manually in the first place?

As I said earlier this morning, this is utterly disgusting and completely nonsensical.

This looks/sounds grand! Congrats. Pre-order placed for the University Library!

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

And how exactly is it that people with ILR make this country ‘unsafe’, please? Is it our significant fiscal contribution? Is it the valuable, higher-than-average skills we bring to this economy? Is it the richness we add to the UK’s cultural fabric? Do tell! Gobshitery of the highest order.

The fake book club challenge?

The students claiming uni Covid compensation 'for the principle' Dozens of universities have received legal letters over what students say they missed out on during Covid.

This is causing despair in academe. (1) We were forced to close during Covid. We had no choice! (2) We're not service providers like a restaurant, we are institutions of state. (3) We did everything we could. (4) This will cripple current students' education.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

If it’s a real friend, they’ll want to know, and they’ll appreciate it.
