Most of Twitter is like medieval football, just scrummaging over a pig's bladder between lych-gates. But the best of it is making connections because you find others with whom you can converse, and, in a very online way, get to know a bit. It really is a horribly clever concept.

@KingBobIIV Met Sir Michael Caine in Waitrose Belgravia when we live in the middle of Town. Moved to SE and met Glenda Jackson in our new supermarket (nearest for nappies). Double Oscar winners, retired on the same last film. Both lovely people despite obvious political differences.

It is like "trans". I don't hate "trans", but I am extremely unsure of those who enable 'trans-ing'. I worry that Jason has not yet caught on to quite how he was abused by a white Fabian caucus. If I were him, I'd sue them for racial abuse. His detransition story could be worthy.

Latest revelation: on a 2023 podcast, Jason Arday claimed that he had been awarded an MBE for his charity work but turned it down because to have accepted it would have compromised his integrity. Curiouser and curiouser. https://t.co/X4cXqPyzoT

🚨 Cambridge University has changed its name to the Cambridge Quality Learing Centre.

@DreyfusJames I ran away to the East Midlands. It's gone down hill a bit, the character has totally gone from the place but I'm glad I can still afford to live in a decent sized house with my wife.
Previously I lived on the S Coast - also an expensive dystopia now.
It's a shame beyond words.

@Channel4News It’s so weird how perplexed you are at the idea of a service provider having single sex loos. It’s like you don’t live in the world.

@rec777777 @colinjau33333 @JohnF579778 I've two degrees in plant science and a Masters in Philosophy of Mental Disorder. I could probably write a second doctorate on why the Greens are nutters.

[Jonathan Kay @jonkay]

how much of this scandal was caused by the desire of successful white academics to be filmed while they stare deeply into the eyes of magical black people

[Matt Ridley @mattwridley]

This is the second most shocking aspect of the fiasco. The most shocking is Cambridge University's gullibility.

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Just not good enough to characterise this as “we’ll make the odd mistake”. This was a grievous incursion by police into press freedom. It raises serious questions about whether the police understand the limits on their powers. Rowley can’t just casually bat it away like this.

[Toby Young @toadmeister]

Lucy Powell was reportedly Andy Burnham’s third choice for Education Secretary after Rachel Reeves and David Miliband turned it down – and judging from her recent intervention in the education debate, it’s not hard to see why.

Read my response to Powell's ludicrous claim that Michael Gove's education reforms are responsible for the UK's million young people not in employment, education or training.

Limited replies. How brave.

A reminder that yesterday, today, tomorrow and always: trans women are women and trans men are men.

Proud to represent a Borough that recognises that protecting women doesn't need to come at the expense of trans people's safety and dignity.

Monty Python was so ahead of its time.

[Aaron Bastani @AaronBastani]

I’ll be honest, I was barely aware of who Jason Arday was until this week. Learned a lot covering the story on Tuesday.

One thing that interests me is that some of the most senior people in British academia believed he was: a world class marathon runner, one of Britain’s most impressive charity fundraisers, an apprentice at Crystal Palace football club, a plausible snooker pro, and that he had brain surgery weeks before his viva (which meant memory loss).

The liberal intelligentsia like to think they are smarter than everyone else, but most people would hear that and think “hang on, this doesn’t really sound very possible does it”.

Project Spire is becoming the Church of England’s very own Chagos deal – a baffling, damaging decision which is falling apart before its eyes, and yet which it seems either too weak or ideologically captured to do the sensible thing and abandon https://t.co/oMTedkpbBj

Textbook...

[CKRobinson @DrCKRobinson]

@dr_musgrave The autogynophiles are making the same presumption that only women will be present, and that's essential to how they get their hit - they don't want gender neutral spaces, they want to target women only spaces.

[BijanOmrani @BijanOmrani]

16 parishes with 21 churches to be combined into one mega-benefice: Kerrier, Cornwall.

171 objections to the Church Commissioners, only 23 in favour; still, the scheme has been approved.

One concession: these 21 churches can have three vicars, not two as originally planned.

[MonticelloEdge @MonticelloEdge]

If they are going to investigate Jason Arday, then they need to investigate the idiots who employed him too, like the sycophantic fool in this clip

[Andrew Neil @afneil]

Perhaps the most disturbing element in the fantasy world of (ex)-Professor Jason Arday is not his proclivity to embellish his achievements (or lack thereof) in absurd ways that were easily exposed or Cambridge University’s facile complicity in his whole scam but that a reporter at Times Higher Education, who was looking into anomalies in Mr Arday’s dodgy CV, was subjected to a four-month police investigation for allegedly harassing him. The police need to be held to account for this abuse of police power to thwart a journalist from doing his job.
