Remarkably, there is no catastrophe of Liz Truss’s creation that cannot be made worse by Liz Truss talking about it.

Up bright & early for today's stroll through the capital: a tour of Roman London. We shall walk the line of the city walls, and then visit the sites of its vanished monuments. (The archaeological sites, alas, will be shut, but there is always the imagination...) #Londinium

Thinking of John Keats today, on the 200th anniversary of his death in Rome. ‘O for a beaker full of the warm South, / That I might drink, and leave the world unseen’ #Keats200

After a weepy morning missing folks and thinking This Will Never End, I made myself go out. Wrote a re-balancing poem. Feel better now. Hope we all will soon. Please click.

This is fun. In the audio clip, you can hear me cracking up. Maybe infectious? - give it a try.

My interview with Nobel physicist @FrankWilczek is just out, with him bursting out laughing about the idea that consciousness is an illusion: ‘It’s as if you’re telling me my left hand is an illusion!’ https://t.co/KVTwIa9V0m @hpinterviews

Excellent to see this authoritative statement by @michaelgove getting no publicity whatsoever.

[Otto Von Jizzmark @Ottojizzmark]

GREAT NEWS
My ongoing campaign to limit the number of people retweeting this image and causing upset to Gove has made great progress I am now so confident that nobody will RT it that I am going to tag in @michaelgove so he can see how well we're doing.
Thank you.
