@ChurchTimes What's your policy on naming people who have changed their names? I your article you say "Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" but in your articles mentioning Zack Polanski there is no such clarification. That doesn't seem consistent.
@EVKontorovich I don't understand this post. In the UK the form of socialism which I think you are referring to has become allergic to any display of nationalism
@OsherFeldman@boswelltoday That snippet of @KemiBadenoch's article really struck a chord with me. I live in a beautiful Essex village and yet it's hard to avoid such dinner party conversations. I lack Kemi's poise too, so it really does my head in.
Great article in @seenunseenmag and strange synchronicity — our local vicar gave an excellent lent talk about the Bach St John Passion and used the exact same phrase @profntwright uses, that Bach asks "And what about you? Where are you in this story?"
@QuakerSocialist in https://t.co/vxp31yvdAr you mention that "The second Quaker MP in Plt was John Bright (1843)". I don't think that's true because William Aldam converted to Anglicanism after taking his seat in Parliament in 1841. No?
@jan_murray "it’s also the hardest job I’ve ever done" did you catch @Louise_m_perry & @ElenaBridgers podcast on that very point? It might be paywalled (sorry) but if you can it is worth a listen https://t.co/cPE3AYOu70 or https://t.co/wdPiPpCSJj
