@DotAllisonmusic What a wonder she was. Always loved your One Dove version of Jolene.

RT @carolecadwalla: Suicide is highly contagious. It triggers copycat deaths across both time & space. Essentially if reported sensationall…

It’s A level results day. In August 1996 I was sent to the suicide of an 18yr old woman who’d hung herself. After we cut her down we found her note. She’d failed her A levels. She thought she’d shamed her family. She thought her parents would be angry.

@Birdyword Am Leeds resident, lots of people seemed to know (of) him (e.g. on Facebook). What a lad!

Here you go @WildCatsThe @mikemcgrother - a flyer for 1995 gigs, which I probably picked up at one of your gigs in Clara Vale.

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

@Reuters You seen this @Ziggys_Duck ?

@monstroso @Waterstones Wonderful building! It was great to see you all last night. I wanted to ask, was there any particular reason you filmed many outside sketches around the north east?

Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty & this tweet has been doing rounds today.

Now imagine my investigation into Russian interference hadn’t been crushed by lawfare, my news org had doubled down & carried on & govt had opened an inquiry as MPs demanded.

Interesting, grim, alarming. Helps make sense of US events but also wider issues for super online young men.

Reform giving a platform to anti-vax crankery. This stuff costs lives. Evidence - if you are one of the people who still needs it - of why they shouldn't be let anywhere near government

Early tea at @Manjitskitchen today with the boys - vada pavs, thali, no bhajis left but samosas banging. There was an Indian food festival so took home some mithai from stall run by Suraj Sweets - (newish?) on Woodsley Green in Hyde Park, must check it out https://t.co/zsDKpD8tA2
