Alastair Campbell, "You'll never beat Farage at Farage's own game" @campbellclaret

"Labour have to have a strategy to deliver the things that Farage exploits"

"That is the challenge Labour now face.. They've got the mandate to do it.. They can do big bold things.. But they won't do it by doing what Rishi Sunak did, which was to lean towards the far right but not really mean it"

It's going to take a while to digest that last plenary! Amazing discussion. Thank you @MuseumsAssoc #museums2023

That Judas Priest 'tribute' was errrr... 😬 #ClosingCeremony

[Chris Garrard @TheGarrard]

The @britishmuseum is closing early due to extreme heat.

In October, it opens a new major exhibition sponsored by fossil fuel giant, BP.

I'm really quite enjoying watching Mick Lynch tearing Tory backbenchers and newscasters to shreds #RMTsolidarity #ToryRailStrikes

🏛️ BP, Russia and the @BritishMuseum 🧵

In 2014, the Russian state invaded Crimea.

In 2017, the Russian Ambassador and Cultural Attaché met with the museum's Director and Chair - and staff from their sponsor BP - before the press launch of its new #Scythians exhibition...

5 LFTs in 2 days. 3 negative (nose only) & 2 positive (throat & nose). First two were -tive but I wasn't convinced & the 3rd was +tive.

[Adam squires @adsquires]

I've been hearing of quite a few people who've got false negative LFT when only doing nose. We should be doing throat too 👇

I’ll say it again:
Violence against Women is not an issue of women’s safety, it’s an issue of male violence

Handing out alarms & increasing street lighting merely shines a brighter light on the inadequacy of the state’s response

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Exclusive: The Science Museum has signed a gagging clause in its agreement with Shell International to sponsor its climate change exhibition, agreeing to take care not to say anything that could damage the company’s reputation, Channel 4 News has learnt.

Who do they think will apply for this?! 😂 3-7 hours pw for an "experienced Museum Manager / Curator" to establish and run a museum voluntarily. It's farcical! How many people approved this ad?

[Fair Museum Jobs @fair_jobs]

Umm... Are you actually having a laugh?

Museum manager volunteer?!? Relevant experience essential?!? Doesn't even do travel expenses yet attending site is vital?!

@AFCWimbledon you should be ashamed to take advantage of qualified professionals with this.

[Culture Unstained @Cult_Unstained]

"The BlackRock Investment Institute, headed by Philipp Hildebrand, hired Osborne in 2017 as a senior adviser. Hildebrand is a member of the @BritishMuseum’s board of trustees."

And BlackRock is a major investor in...museum sponsor @BP_plc.

Our reaction to the news George Osborne has been elected chair of the @britishmuseum

[Katie Wilkie @_karowi_]

This will be fascinating. Just slightly miffed that it came after my assignment on this topic was due in, typical 🙄

[Pitt Rivers Museum @Pitt_Rivers]

Join us tomorrow for an open conversation on space, access & opportunities when colonial narratives are removed & what could take their place with @jon_sleigh, @prm_laurita, @sparkledust09, @_ashleyalmeida and @liamthewiseman Wed 9 June 5pm https://t.co/VSOQrGOUS3

If Daily Mail reporters really want to find no-go areas in Britain, they should try trespassing on the land owned by their proprietor, Lord Rothermere, or any of the other 50% of the UK that’s privately owned by 1% of the population. Good luck with your picnic.
