Two points: 1. The new PM is not a great speaker, is she? I hadn't realised how little dynamism, confidence or conviction she has in her voice. 2. No eye contact because she was reading her words. The most important speech of your life, and you can't memorise it??

Italian soldiers dig up a border marker, 1915. The original Austro-Hungarian caption jokes that: "the Italian invaders are moving the border stone another meter forward."

Ah my copy of the @LanguagesFWW book has arrived! It is truly a thing of beauty and the contents page is like a who’s-who of amazing historians. My chapter deals with the use of racialised language in the identity and experiences of African-American soldiers during the #FWW

This is such a bucket list moment for me. I’ve wanted to have something published in @FirstStudies since about 2008. At the end of a horrible week this makes me very happy. Being in it alongside @SofyaDAnisimova & @drhelenbrooks makes it even better.

My brother died this morning. 51 years old. Alone. In hospital. To those who think Covid 19 won’t affect them, go and see my mother, my sister in law and their kids, my brother and sisters and me. Look at us and see we are broken. Then take a fucking good look at yourself.

This compilation is the must shocking thing you will watch today. If you think it should be broadcast on every UK news channel RT

Sorry @bbclaurak simply not the case that nobody could have foreseen how quickly this would develop, as you are reporting Number 10 as saying. Other countries did see what was coming and dealt with it better. It was laziness and sloth and cavalier nationalist exceptionalism

Branson has not paid tax in this country for 14 years. On no account should he get a taxpayer bailout, loan or otherwise #virginatlantic

Oh this is fabulous. A new online platform, Bookshop, has created a centralized online shopping platform for independent bookstores around the country. Quarantine doesn't mean you have to resort to Amazon. insidehook.com/article/books…
