And that ridiculous headline from a woman who can't even spell her name correctly!

[Janey Godley @JaneyGodley]

Weirdly it saved my life and still does to this day

[Ian Christie @ianchris]

@Domankiewicz @lukemckernan Having been in at the start of this, while researching at in Canberra, and responsible for unleashing this on the wider world - inc Trafalgar Square - I too wish the NFSA would hurry up and make the Corrick Collection more widely available. Nothing gained by sitting on it!

@PendlePumpkin @StoryhouseLive Hope you're showing DIAL M in 3D? Essential to show what a masterpiece this was/is.

@palmersquared @HOME_mcr @AndrewMoor1 It seemed crazy to travel to Manchester and back (with an hour's train delay) for a short chat about AMOLAD. But the warmth and interest of the audience made it worthwhile!

Looked like they had to pull in a few interns to look like she had an audience for her 'speech'...

[Ian Christie @ianchris]

Multiculturalism hasn't failed - cf Braverman, Sunak etc - but their efforts to keep the Tory gravy train on the rails certainly has. How many drafted in to make up an audience for her US speech?

[Ian Christie @ianchris]

After a 9 hr journey to Edinburgh last week, this says it all. Who's going to pull our railways together and drag them into the 21st century?

[Rosie Holt @RosieisaHolt]

This makes me so proud of our British Rail 🥹
