Was great fun to talk to a fellow Dundonain @MkBlyth about such a wealth of big questions on the state of the world - refreshing takes without Thunberg pessimism or Pinker extreme optimism!

Thanks to the researchers and friends at @EUI_History @inthisEUI that made today’s lecture possible. One of the most enjoyable academic days I’ve ever had! @ArturBanaszews1 @tomaashby @LaurelinM @BannermanRory

Was a pleasure to continue this EUI tradition by presenting and sharing ideas with such a warm and constructive group of fellow Intellectual Historians - look forward to attending the 7th, 8th and 9th!

A highly stimulating day of presentation and discussion at our 6th Annual Workshop. Thanks to all our participants from both @EUI_History and @UNI_FIRENZE for making it a success!

It was really wonderful to talk on Jean-Jacques Rousseau as a reader of the French translation of Algernon Sidney's "Discourses" this morning @inthisEUI. Great discussion & feedback for my project @EinaudiOnlus. It has been a stimulating workshop so far, brilliant presentations!

What’s missing from the yearly fawning over Muppets Christmas Carol is that Alastair Sim’s Scrooge (1951) is more whimsical, surreal and funny without having to resort to the utilisation of a single muppet

Today the UK Government via @andreajenkyns gave a limited & partial comment on their decision to leave @EUI_EU. Predictable spin. I should repeat that the EU & EUI treaties are separate & it was not necessary for the UK to leave partnership with the EUI.

Yesterday was bad. It was, in fact, very, very bad. If Johnson was a disaster, Truss has set out to be worse. I very much doubt that any prime minister has set out to create so many conflicts from the outset of their premiership in the way that Truss has. A thread….

@AllenMandeville All a futile ploy to ruin your caffeine addiction ofc, damn 😝 But glad u are recovered!

👇 This is a fantastic video for those who want to know why we support independence for Scotland.

📲 Share it with your friends and family to give them the chance to see the democratic case for independence explained in just 4 minutes. #Indyref2023

[Lloyd Melville MSP @LloydAMelville]

Ignored by Liz Truss or ignored by Keir Starmer?

That’s the choice Scotland faces if we stay in the UK.

@JackONeil90 Would still take that over their sad WHSmith £5 meal "deal" :(

Today in @curaffairs, I examine the question "How come conservatives are against 'big government' yet love the police, aka the most violent, coercive, intrusive part of the government?"

You know your society is in trouble when it's best days ahead lie in an imaginary reconstruction of events 40 years ago.

It's like folks in the 60s arguing that we should go back to the 20s.

Or, in the US, that we should rule like the 1880s to avoid the problems of the 2020s
