(in a happy coincidence, I have an indirect interest as Not Just the Tudors is one of two History Hit podcasts for which my daughter is audio editor - so take that as an extra recommendation to give it a listen!)

🚨 For law / history geeks

Just out: legal colleague @madisonmitchel1 on History Hit podcast "Not just the Tudors" talking about legal and social aspects of Scottish witch trials.

Out now: BBC Sounds, Spotify etc

They discuss the new book (also just out) by Claire and co-author Zoe Venditozzi "How to Kill a Witch: A Guide for the Patriarchy" and their @witchesofscotl1 podcast.

@PeatWorrier @maryfordneal See s5(2)(e)(i)!

@DBanksy Also, he has "been assured" that there can be no slippery slope.

On a serious matter of conscience vote, an MP should make their own assessment on matters central to their vote, not abdicate responsibility with a vague appeal to unspecified authority.

@BBCPhilipSim With your eyes closed is, TBF, the best way of experiencing the UKSC carpet...

@ScotsAdvocate @MoirTheLawyer @IanMoir5 @psweeney1982 AFAIK: No (but requiring 10/15 for guilty) and yes.

@NavyLookout @HMSPortland Sorry to be that guy, but the view is from the foremast.

Due to some naming convention probably lost in the mists of time, the mainmast is the stubby little one at the forward end of the hangar.

@Scott_Wortley I use the kiwi browser with an extension (on android). Got it to get rid of the "for you" feed (which it does) but also seems to insulate me from worst of other normal post-Musk twitter problems.

📢SCHOLARSHIP KLAXON📢

@FacultyScot have opened their Scholarship applications for those commencing devilling in October 2025.

These scholarships are essential for increasing access - I would not be devilling today were it not for the scheme 👇🏻

@ernest_malley Qualifier used as a positive reframing of "subjective" and "unfalsifiable"?

Not necessarily problematic but often seemingly used to insulate particular views from analysis or criticism!

Enjoying this salty - pun intended - excerpt from decision of Judge Anne Fairpo on why Walker’s attempts to get their crisps a VAT exemption by calling them Poppodoms does not make them so.

[Tim Haddow @TimHaddow]

@neilmain Even the Supreme Court's own description of it is: "striking".

I don't disagree.

@BarristerSecret Bringing a new meaning to the phrase "hard labour"...

[Tim Haddow @TimHaddow]

@ianssmart @ProfChalmers Maybe zones, like the LEZ, but with single occupancy vehicles banned?

Can't say I'm aware anything like that was ever seriously proposed, though.

I did live near a road in Bristol with a dedicated 2+ lane on it.

@Scott_Wortley "Sunak, Sunak, bin snatcher" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, unfortunately...
