I have written a novel! I really hope you like it. It's about Cleopatra and Marcus Antonius - their two stories intertwined - from the blood and mud of the Gallic Wars to the glittering splendour of ancient Alexandria. And you can pre-order it from TODAY

At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said:

"It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)"

"It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country"

"It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority"

If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong.

Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.

@supertanskiii Fabulous.

I’ve decided that I’ll only feature videos of Farage in my content with voice modification, like the BBC did with Sinn Fein in the 90s, to avoid giving them the oxygen of publicity or an illusion of credibility.

@sjcbristol Because I have only just finished writing it! It takes a while to get a book printed and distributed.

@katlianik Who are you doing this for?
How are you funded?
Your website doesn't seem to say.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

@TimPreston93673 No, I'd prefer an elected head of state, without executive powers. Like Ireland.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

I’m not sure why we still have a monarch. It seems like a medieval anachronism to me; a demonstration of inherited status and the the pinnacle of an entrenched aristocracy. And I’m really not sure why our monarch has gone to the US to stand next to another man with too much power, land and money.

Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift

"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"

"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"

"We didn't receive another reply"

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

@Negatrev @midnightambler Well, yes. And the comparison wouldn't be fair without an estimate of the royal-heritage-related tourism that would still happen without extant royals. Versailles gets quite a lot of tourists, I've heard.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

@leejwilliams France does pretty well.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

@pras_patel A claim with no evidence to back it up. Paris does ok.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

@BrianEmbleton It works well for them.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

@onebarrytrotter Culture can change. Thankfully. I don't see monarchy as compatible with democracy. Greek city states, and others, worked this out some 2500 years ago.
