I just found out that the English as a Foreign Language industry in the UK is bigger than the fishing industry in the UK (£1.2bn to £936m). EFL will be devastated by Brexit. Why is no one talking about this?

[New Formations journal @NewFormations_]

Issue 94 of @NewFormations_ has arrived! Rosa Luxemburg: Capitalism, Imperialism and the Postcolonial. With @filippo_me, Evelin Wittich, Ingo Schmidt, Peter Hudis and more. Lots of great #FreeToView content. https://t.co/tLwmZoXb6j.

4 days ago, I wrote to @bbc re its role in amplifying @arron_banks’ harassment campaign against me. I cited Neil’s tweets. This isn’t just sexist & unfunny. & it doesn’t just reveal wider failure to report the story. It betrays the British public. Who are not being told the truth

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

I’m sorry but I have to retweet this once more - it’s so much worse on video. To paraphrase: The UK is peculiar geographically, in that, and I hadn’t quite fully understood the extent of this, it really is very close to France.

[Kingston Uni Music @KTownUniMusic]

Students and staff had the unique experience of working with record producer @ChrisKimsey (#TheRollingStones, #PeterFrampton, #Marillion, #TheCult, #PeterTosh) yesterday, as he showed us how to edit 1/4" and 2" tape. A great day! #ViscontiStudio

Breaking: (thread) the official summary of the final judgement in the so-called 'Muslim fostering' case has just been released and it is devastating to the reputations of the Times newspaper and its reporter Andrew Norfolk. @pguk10 #MuslimFoster

[Pluto Press @PlutoPress]

59% of British adults view the British Empire as ‘something to be proud of ’ and 49% viewed countries colonised by Britain as being ‘better off’. There is a considerable gap in Britain’s public knowledge of its modern history. https://t.co/2EoleEtWIO

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"Mrs Thatcher believed that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist...Did you think the same thing?"

@Theresa_May is questioned by @MichaelLCrick about her stance on apartheid ahead of her visit to Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned.

Great piece by @AzadehMoaveni
in the @LRB this week. Interesting reference to @KingstonUni

[Brian Cathcart @BrianCathcart]

If you're a journalist and you see people being harmed and other journalists doing nothing, what do you do? You report it, loud and strong. So why are UK journalists so quiet about harmful press corruption/abuse? I'll talk about this on Sunday at 2.30 at @BylineFest. Come along
