I'm thrilled that my new book is No1 Bestseller & No1 most wished for in Military History of World War I on Amazon: https://t.co/25cKeJqQq9 including this review: 'This book is amazing my husband has not put it down since he received it. You feel as if you are there. A must buy'

In 536 AD, everyone thought the world was ending.

A dense fog plunged the world into darkness for 18 months — but things were about to get much worse.

Here's what the worst year in human history was like... 🧵

oh my god

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

🚨This is the story of how UK & EU goods are STILL going into Russia in vast quantities, despite sanctions.
Of how the economic war waged by the G7 is failing.
Of how I witnessed sanctions rules broken in plain sight.
But above all else it’s the story of a chart... 🧵

@mrjamesob Following the announcement of the Grenfell Tower report, I thought I would pass on my experience. As you know I was a senior trading standards officer made redundant in 2010, one of the first to go as a result of Cameron's austerity cuts.

Beck's rendition of Daniel Johnston's "True Love Will Find You In The End"

A lovely tribute to a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes.

This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

If you watch one thing today, please make it this from @Lawrence.
I implore you. Absolute fire. 🔥

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

"Las Meninas" is one of the most revolutionary (and mysterious) paintings in history.

At first glance it might not be obvious why.

But when you notice its little details, everything unravels… (thread) 🧵

[Dr Phil Hammond 💙 @drphilhammond]

The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it.

Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention….

1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done.

2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable.

3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care

4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

This is such a powerful video…

So simple

So much sense

The Tories know this too

But they also know that it’s the millionaires & billionaires who donate to them that keep them in power

…and the sad truth is, that’s who they really work for.

“The arts are not the cherry on the cake — they are the cake.”

Opening a debate in the House of Lords yesterday, Melvyn Bragg said the UK should realise the full potential of the arts to transform our economy and society.

A short thread about a ship: this is Magnus, currently entering the English Channel off the Kent coast. There is a lot we don't know about Magnus...
