The inimitable Lily Savage at Pride 1990 in Kennington Park. Come and hear about this Pride event and 3 others that took place in the park on our Pride and Protest LGBTQ+ History walk next Saturday 13th June at 12 noon 1/3
I'm taking WEIMAR to Scotland this week 🏴🇩🇪📚
I'll be speaking at @ToppingsEdin and @ToppingsStAs. Do come along if you're in the mood for some German history.
In between I shall see if I can't expand my Scottish culinary horizons beyond whisky, Irn-Bru and haggis...
If my boys grow up to be like Jo and Kush from Race Across the World we will have done something right. They’re a brilliant antidote to Tate-style toxic masculinity: bright, kind, compassionate, emotionally intelligent, grounded, and culturally aware. PROPER role models for boys.
I thought I was going to interview Derek Jacobi. And I ended up interviewing Derek and his husband Richard Clifford. Bloody wonderful they are. Properly life affirming, funny and full of soul

🚨 SHOCKING — These are the exact same Reform activists who flood X every day screaming, lecturing, and telling everyone how Britain should be run…
Yet 24 hours after getting elected in Kirklees, they stand up in full council and admit:
“I don’t understand the Constitution…
I don’t understand standing orders…
I don’t understand what an amendment is.”
Then they whine it’s “not democratic” they might vote on things they don’t understand
This is the terrifying danger of populist rage politics: loud online warriors with ZERO clue how to actually govern.
Handing real power to people who don’t even know where to start is how countries collapse.
Watch this embarrassment 👇👇👇👇CC: @LesTrumpeter
Two headlines on the BBC on the same day. One relates to the SNP Govt's attempt to cap the price of essential food items. The other relates to the UK Labour Govt's attempt to cap the price of essential food items.
Near identical aims, but completely opposite framing.
The word "hyperinflation" conjures images of people taking wheelbarrows of cash to the shops. But what was it really like to live through a time when money was worthless?
This week on Reichs and Republics: "Who Wants to be a Trillionaire? The Weimar Hyperinflation". Out now.
A bunch of billionaires threatening to axe investment in the Uk if an even slightly left of centre government is in power should tell you exactly what you need to know.
Now you know why the attacks on the Greens are coming thick and fast and you know where from.
On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.
