“And your specialist subject is?” “British politics between 1500 and 1640” “What is it about those 140 years you like?” “Oh sorry, I meant 3pm and 4.40pm on 6th June 2022”

'Macho leaders' use slurs, slander & false accusations to publicly denigrate, undermine and humiliate their political opponents - from 'brat' to 'whore' to 'pedophile' & more. In @IndexCensorship mag: The Big Noise, I highlight new tactics & terms. indexoncensorship.org/magazi…

Strange behaviour ... even for this particular prime minister
Tried to show @BorisJohnson the picture of Jack Williment-Barr. The 4-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to lie on a pile of coats on the floor of a Leeds hospital. The PM grabbed my phone and put it in his pocket: @itvcalendar | #GE19
