@IainDale on offence. The Catholic/Irish sucked it up...I am sure my Mother would have found this abhorrent. But that was what being in the new era in uk was. Was it disrespectful, with hindsight, yes but our families navigated what we thought. All for the better.

@BBCPolitics I'm surprised your Cons guest can't put the simple & robust case for Brexit which is UK sovereignty... especially in the face of Starmer bleating about UK national interest over Iran but doesn't consider it an absolute principle for anything else.

More of this... Particularly the last section ie to have substantial parliamentary debate on substantial issues.

And...please leave out the personal comments - you are better than that and we need and want more dignified leadership.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Labour MPs are so arrogant. They want to lead our country but they can’t even lead a coup.

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

@UKLabour think people are only driven by the money in their pocket (and nhs waiting lists). If people have a view on anything else, they're right wing...deeply patronising.

@KemiBadenoch - I enjoyed most of this. However, some rapid re-evaluation of your assessment of Magyar would be wise - this post election event is recommend https://t.co/1RDqahRNKf

@HelenHet20 Is there a bit missing in the discussion too ie 'energy' is not all the same & you need a strategy for what you want to do with it. If you want to manufacture & also produce certain types of products, you need primary energy - oil & gas - renewals can't be used in the same way?

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

Excellently argued @Geoffrey_Cox so important a time to be reasserting and clarifying what is of most value and distinct about Britain - not a 'heritage asset' but core to our democratic way of life.

[Joanna Hardy-Susskind @Joanna__Hardy]

This from @Geoffrey_Cox was titanic - a truly beautiful speech.

He outshone those sat opposite. They could only watch. And nervously laugh.

This should be seen by every new MP to understand what they do, & every new barrister to understand what we do.

[Helen Thompson POLIS @HelenHet20]

One can say another fossil fuel energy crisis shows the instability writ into fossil fuels and it does. But it also shows they are the life force of the material world and that you cannot jump off that juggernaut at will or think only of a future where they matter somewhat less.

[Kellie-Jay Keen @ThePosieParker]

My removal from the international women’s day event by the police.

I had been asking women’s organisations whether their services were for women only. This caused alarm and distress and the venue, claimed to be privately owned when it’s owned by the council, asked me to leave for asking questions.

I have footage of every interaction that I will upload later so you can see what those questions were and you can judge for yourself.

@ThePosieParker Nottingham - that about sums it up. It thinks it's so high-minded and principled, yet thinks there is some virtue in stopping discussion, debate and challenge. NOTT a Rebel City!!!!

@JANUSZCZAK Which suggests our own institutions are writing their own suicide note. I'm pleased, after a gap year random cheap flight to Vienna, my daughter, so inspired by the exhibitions, changed her uni choice to include HofA & only for the love of it as she'd fixed on teaching English.

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

@JANUSZCZAK In a Nottm Contemporary gallery walk around last week discussing some of artists memorialised in a current exhibition, 'coloniser/Western'
art history was rubbished. A friend who taught on Nottm art foundation said art history is sadly marginal for art focusing on conceptualism.

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

Wonderful - on the evolution and the back and forth of privacy as depicted in the art @tiffanyjenkins @ArtsFirstUK https://t.co/oO8mP1UmnD

@alanlyons33 @alanvibe Disagree...let's get this broadcast on the bbc evening news & then get this idiot on newsnight with the Green party, Manchester labour party, the NUS & Academics for academic freedom @AFAF_freespeech - lets see how that goes. Shame them in debate. No compromise to free speech

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

@NadiaWhittomeMP The issue, which you have in common, is being globalists and seeing themselves above the public. The highground they climbed and believed they were on is now a cliff they are falling, and being actively pushed from...back to political accountability...

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

However, for our times, looking at the material gains/losses for workers and if there are differences in Irish/English experience would shed light e.g. this video shows how skills gained in Nottm lace helped create conditions for new manufacture to grow. https://t.co/l9lpl5hVoS

[Fragments of Jo @FragmentsofJo_y]

Links English arts & design institutions with Ireland is interesting and runs in parallel with UK provincial towns with lace wkers facing hard, squalid, conditions. file:///C:/Users/jherl/Downloads/Heritage_and_Conservation_of_Nottingham_Lace_throu.pdf #journalofdesignhistory
