Proud to have taken part in this superb documentary on the threat to free speech by @spikedonline I may have sworn! Watch it here. 👇 Hard to believe the UK became a Stasi snitch state.

Well said, @toadmeister
If NCHIs are going to continue to be recorded, they must not be disclosable in enhanced DBS checks. It is absolutely indefensible that someone could be prevented from getting a job because an uninvestigated report of their having committed a 'non crime' is recorded against their

Great work from @Tom_Slater_ who really understood why our case (and others) have broader significance.

Thanks to @spikedonline for inviting us to appear in this important film.
📺 DOCUMENTARY 📺 ‘Think Before You Post’ How Britain fell to a sinister new form of censorship. We spoke to the Brits locked up for social-media posts. What we discovered was even more chilling than the headlines would have you believe. Let us know what you think 👇

The effete literature student in me would be amazed. As would my tutors. @MaxieAllen_prod is on drums, I’m on bass, @johnyorke123 is playing lead with @jackaldane on vocals. John is a world authority on Kafka. I named a chapter of my Post Office book after this novel as a nod to

'German Small Town by Night,' is one in a series of caricatures Georg Scholz made between 1919 and 1923 in which he mocked the bourgeois ideal of the small German town and the pleasures and orderliness of life to be found there.

It's @RuthDavidsonPC's last day @TimesRadio - a truly sad day for the the gayest show in news broadcasting. It's been a blast - I'll never forget getting Theresa May to say she's woke, or losing my mind when Chelsea Manning got lost on her way to the interview tent @LatitudeFest

Thanks to everyone who helped make my show such a success, my hardworking brilliant young (mainly!) team and of course my listeners, especially for your inspired contributions to our call outs and your thoughts on issues of the day.Change is always scary but imperative!
Mariella Frostrup has announced she’s stepping down as a presenter at Times Radio to focus on wider work commitments and her campaigning for women in the workplace. We are grateful for her role over the past four years and wish her all the very best for her future projects.

I had genuinely never seen a child with measles in my paediatrics career until 2 weeks ago and I’ve seen multiple every day since. Not a single one in a child who had their MMR (even just first dose if not old enough for their preschool booster yet). Vaccinate your children!

As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli

Love this.
