Prince Maurice's grave is interesting, because it was a good example of the conflicting thoughts families had. Princess Beatrice refused repatriation of the body. She felt he belonged with his men. But she fought for years for the right to spend her own money on a custom headstone. This was blocked

Thanks to the @manchestereveningnews.co.uk for reporting the full list of foods to have a reduced tarrif, which also includes pizza, bananas, soup, baked beans, dried fruit, prepared vegetables. Doesn't sound so ridiculous now, does it? www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/cost-of...

Academics, students, anyone. Let authors know that you enjoyed reading their work. It matters.

You have to admit that the entire Bolsonaro family under house arrest in the same house would be a hell of a sitcom.

Ooh Radio 3 playing Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba. My wedding entry march 40 years ago. That might seem a little presumptuous, but it was kind of a family gag. I loved it as a child and bored everyone else in the family rigid as I spent hours and hours trying to play it on the piano.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

1) There's a new critical review of patient-reported outcome measures in ME/CFS and Long Covid. The paper argues that trials often fail to include important symptom domains such as post-exertional malaise, dysautonomia and mast cell activation symptoms.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

That is absolutely correct. That is precisely why we have the "No to Executions" campaign. For 143 weeks, political prisoners in Iran have been holding hunger strikes every Tuesday, and many prominent public figures have joined these Tuesday hunger strikes to protest

No-one should ever face a death penalty, whatever they've done, but especially not for just protesting.

What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

Gotta love Greggs. I particularly liked Section IV: "Magna Divisio: The headline-grabbing 2019 media storm sparked when a live TV tasting split the public over the Vegan Sausage Roll."

Oh good Lord, an 'error', was it?

Wet London morning but great to see the pedestrianisation of Oxford St taking shape at long last. Lots more to do to iterate and get this right for all Londoners. Have you dropped by yet? What are your thoughts?

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing

A new era for Oxford Street starts now.

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Get those covid boosters, people!

After years of obstructing the EU, Orbán is apparently being lined up for a promotion to obstruct the entire world.

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

Go, students! Well done, Serbia.

What an absolutely wonderful and deserved victory. May this be the long last start of the youth revolution in Europe. ✊

Ooh, we made the Independent. Protest assembly from 5pm in Oriel Square. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

On EU membership, the gap between the national narrative and public opinion is vast. Joining again is inevitable, especially when you factor in ageing. It’s only a question of when. So let’s just get on with it.

Wow, even Reform supporters are coming round to restoring freedom of movement. After 10 years of Britain sitting hunched and miserable on its own, let's do this!

Quoted on BBC - Lula said voters should choose the candidate who kisses the Brazilian flag, not the American flag.

Such a breath of fresh air to hear a funny, articulate and sane former president

The real inversion is Burnham defending freedom of movement on merits, to the benefit of Britons; rather than a "price to be paid" for market access. For the first time by a PM since.... 2004...?

I was twice invited to join the so-called Academy of Public Health. Both times I replied that I couldn't imagine why they thought I'd be interested in their junk 'academy'. Or their junk journal.

A new Ipsos poll has a Labour 8 point lead over the Conservatives & 12 over Reform @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social Labour 32% Conservatives 24% Reform 20% The Cons & Reform have been trading 2nd place, usually within margin of error. 4% is largest recent gap for 2nd place.

Scary stuff

Here's a University Challenge for you: who has the coolest lanyards?

If the compulsory BBC poppy isn't a badge or emblem, I don't know what is.

Quite. Poppy: compulsory. Pride pin: banned.

She really has lost it

Excellent thread.

Small dick energy.
