My son and I have made a YouTube mini-series about the hidden links between a number of European languages. It’s been a labour of love. And it’s finally ready for its formal launch. Here’s Episode One.

Apparently I have my own podcast about tungsten 🤓 - it’s been available ten years and even though I have TWO chemistry teacher friends I’ve only just been told about it 😂 https://t.co/xdwDfwEkGg
About Sheryll Murray. I came across this letter - still can’t believe she never replied to it. I know she got it - her office came back to check I was a constituent so she could reply. She just never bothered to. If you feel she’s drawn her salary long enough, feel free to share.
@simonspeare Well maybe. Maybe not. They’ve been resurgent in other leafy rural bits. Not apparently here though. Maybe it’s just about how bad Sheryll Murray has turned out to be.
Interesting how firmly the opposition vote in SE Cornwall is now Labour. Labour came 2nd here in the last two general elections. YouGov’s model yesterday suggests that was no blip. And think what Reform might now mean.
Conservative announcement on the "return" of National Service. At first glance this is a lot smaller, but also a lot more significant, than it first appears. Short thread...
@JohnIng32664667 You too John! Hugely glad for the city & the area. I was surprised how moving I found it, just being there in the Lyndhurst shouting. Not religious but I count my blessings (today all the more so)!

On Cameron becoming foreign secretary in House of Lords - if confirmed - there are post-war precedents: Douglas-Home, an ex PM, in 70-74, Carrington under Thatcher. Also significant that Cameron led the campaign against Brexit, and that Cummings would rather stick pins in his eyes than appoint him. So this would be Sunak’s very formal Declaration of independence from his initial patron, Cummings. Also the Brexiter Tory right would hate this appointment. The sacking of Braverman would then look like a Sunak coup against the entire insurgent populist right wing of the modern Tory party
@philipgrossuk Thanks! Ha, yes it is. Perhaps the People’s Republic of Calstock would get behind a crowdfunder. Is Constance Fuller a known name? I imagine not really.
@philipgrossuk Can you shed any light on this 1964 poem by Constance Fuller? Chanced upon it. Full poem or not? I lack a login to check.
It was in English: Journal of the English Association, Volume 15, Issue 85, Spring 1964, Pages 31–32, https://t.co/3vgHOCXeqJ
