Congrats on publication day, Eduardo Albert, Bede: The Man Who Invented England is out. The Venerable Bede first wrote of the English as a single people 1200 years ago. It's his vision that created the story that has united and divided Britain ever since. https://t.co/RhtIg8xVKq

@delestoile @DrMagier My husband and I, both doctors, reached a similar conclusion. A major trauma centre was minutes away. This could have had a dramatically different ending if managed appropriately by the police.

@kevinnbass Wondering the same. I don’t necessarily believe the police that he ‘would have died anyway’. If I saw someone lying (still) between a car and building the last thing I’d do is drag them and force them up lest they are injured internally or I damage their spine. Common sense.

Britain is full of monastic ghosts. Street names carry them: Monks Lane, Priory Road, Abbey Close. The landscape, too, still bears the imprint of communities that shaped it for a thousand years. The ruins of Fountains, Rievaulx, Tintern, and dozens of lesser houses stand in fields and valleys across England, Wales, and Scotland, drawing visitors who admire their picturesque qualities while knowing almost nothing of the civilization that produced them.

Joseph Kelly, in his new book 𝐿𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑅𝑒𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒: 𝐴 𝐻𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑠𝑚 𝑖𝑛 𝐵𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛 (Cruachan Hill Press, 2026), has set out to remedy this ignorance, in what is surely one of the best popular histories of British monasticism ever written. I loved it!

@TimGuile @pensandpoison Soon there will be nothing to read they deem worthy. Illiteracy already a problem as it is.

Dickens survived debtors' prison, child labor, and Victorian critics. His greatest challenge turned out to be a museum exhibit in his memory.

My daughter was going through my keepsake box 🗃️

“You’ve had such an interesting life…”

There was pain in her voice. I too remember that moment, about her age, when I realized my parents lived a life I’d never know, long before me.

A police anti-racism document should be withdrawn from use because it encourages police to treat people differently based on the colour of their skin, says shadow home secretary Chris Philp. He's speaking in response to a government statement on the murder of Henry Nowak.

They've changed it from 80s American noir into 70s kitchen sink drama.

@hannahsbee I have been feeling blue about it too. He was young. We don’t know how long it took him to die and he was asking for help and received no compassion.

I’ve been going through my letters and cards, spanning 40 years now…and this one, from my grandmother, particularly touched me.

The pilgrim is not just any traveler; “a pilgrim is seeking God,” she writes.

In my own lifetime, I have seen the UN go from being one of the most prestigious institutions one could work for/at, to one of the most debunked.

Multilateralism is dead.
