Ruined village; Corbera d’Ebre. The most intense and brutal combats of the Battle of the Ebro were fought here. It lasted 115 days. What a morning walking around these parts. 1/3

Just listened and it’s superb.
One of my favourite podcasts to record out on the @WeHaveWaysPod this week: the story of the Stella Rossa partisan band and the Massacre on Monte Sole. Unspeakably moving to recount this episode. @almurray @ww2headquarters

On this, the 220th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, I'm thinking of the little girl who was taken to see HMS Victory, and was bought a book on Nelson... I've lectured internationally, I've edited a book with the @RoyalNavy Strategic Studies Centre, made documentaries 🧵

Happy #TrafalgarDay! Did you know #Churchill owned a copy of The Times newspaper from November 7 1805, containing official reports from the Battle of Trafalgar, describing the battle as "the most decisive victory that has ever been achieved by British skill and gallantry."

Today we commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar🌹 Under Admiral Lord Nelson, the Royal Navy delivered a great and glorious victory, a legacy that continues to guide those who serve today. #TrafalgarDay

Decent statement with clear facts. It had nothing to do with hooligans but everything to do with an Amsterdam Maccabi style hunt by a local community in Bham and the police could not guarantee the safety of the visiting fans. Embarrassing for my country to be honest.
Club statement We acknowledge the efforts of the UK government and police to ensure both sets of fans can attend the match safely, and are grateful for the messages of support from across the footballing community and society at large. We as a Club believe that football should

We don’t need new law to build America’s AI bench. We need courage, MOUs, and a 90-day clock.

No we don’t. This is the next bandwagon now. Ceasefire done, however delicate that is, but we have a push for this now. Already have boycott lists. Good luck with medicine, cancer research, etc Absolutely no idea these people.
"We need a sporting and cultural boycott of all Israeli teams, like we saw for South African teams under apartheid." @MothinAli responds to Maccabi Tel Aviv fans being banned from attending a football game against Aston Villa.

The Duchess of York is no more. Just Mrs. Ferguson, standing in front of the Waitrose meal deal, asking it to love her. Or give her a book deal. Couldn’t have happened to two nicer people.
