@PremSportsTV @SimonZebo Why am I getting squash when I click on the Munster game?

.@georgegalloway you OK hun?

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n

@KeithKahnHarris I genuinely read the whole piece with my mouth agape. Absolutely shocking

[Keith Kahn-Harris @KeithKahnHarris]

An embarrassment of selective antisemitism riches from Jordan Peterson: Superficially philosemitic eugenicism, barely-veiled threats to Jews who refuse his 'love' - and all published on Rosh Hashanah.

I was looking forward to interviewing Boris Johnson at Cheltenham, but regrettably I can’t go ahead with the event because I am not allowed make an audio recording or transcript of the interview.

As a journalist in conversation with a former PM at a public event, I can only proceed if we do it on the record. I’m sorry to have to pull out.

NEW: Bill to introduce assisted dying in England & Wales will come before parliament this month giving MPs their first chance to vote on controversial issue for almost a decade & potentially paving way to a change in law.

Hello! I have two tickets for @AChorusLineUK at Sadler’s Wells this afternoon which I now cannot use! Message me if interested

Very sad to hear of the untimely death of Kim Sengupta. Kim was a great journalist, and great fun. I got to know him as a judge of the @PrivateEyeNews Paul Foot Award, a role which he undertook with the same sharpness, probity and eye for a story that characterised his reporting

@patrickkmaguire Hehehe

Might start a rumour that Morgan McSweeney was in the Sultans of Ping FC

[Sam Freedman @Samfr]

Somehow I'd missed that Labour's candidate in Brighton Pavillion is Tom Gray, co-founder of Britpop group Gomez.

I knew Blur's drummer was running. And Neil Amin-Smith, the violinist from Clean Bandit, is an adviser to Rachel Reeves.

We've got a decent band forming here.

We are saddened by news of the death of Alice Munro, Nobel Prize-winner and beloved author. Clara Farmer, her publisher @vintagebooks, says, ‘We send heartfelt condolences to her family; we cherish her memory and her stories which are beyond compare.’

He’s gutted. Sick as a parrot. But of course, it’s not *entirely* his fault is it? No, course not.

[Johann Hari @johannhari101]

I confused an article by Jay Rayner in the Guardian with an article by Layla Latif in the same paper talking about losing pleasure in food. I apologise to Jay for getting this wrong, & am gutted I & my fact-checkers missed it.

[Private Eye Magazine @PrivateEyeNews]

From City scandals to the crisis in mental health care, the Paul Foot Award longlist shows the strength and range of journalism in 2024.

@thhamilton @lottelydia @OxfordUnion There were two separate debates. Harris debated Irving in one room, I think. I was at the other, which was Griffin and some students. Motion I can’t recall exactly but was some standard “this house believes in total free speech” or similar type thing
