If @EdwardJDavey and the @LibDems want more news coverage maybe they should do something newsworthy…like announcing they are going to campaign to #Rejoin? In today’s political climate offering decency and competence is not enough. Set the agenda why don’t you!

I'm looking forward to talking about how to make public space more inclusive (in Westminster) at Westminster City Archives on 12 November at 5.00pm. See

Can we get this story about Farage and his dodgy tax Retweeted 10,000 times? #NoTaxNigel #FarageOut #FarageTheFraud https://t.co/2bwATYQRPS

It feels like we’re already at the C21 version of the Reichstag Fire moment. I hope that it’s not just a matter of time before those who have prosecuted a certain person suffer the same fate as Hans Lödén last century

It seems many people don’t grasp the difference between free speech and hate speech (nicely defined in Art.10 of the ECHR)

Just published, including my chapter on the Manchester North West by-election of 1908 (one of Churchill’s several election defeats!).

How to hang flags tastefully and inclusively

And there’s also plenty of people’s history that can help as well @NationalIdenti4

I agree wholeheartedly we need to rebuild a national narrative. Durkheim, a pioneer in studying national identity, warned of anomie, the atomisation of society that for us has been turbocharged by Thatcherism. Time to rebuild our institutions and identities and communities

Now we know that a bigot was killed by someone even more bigoted can we start talking about how we socialise such people into caring about others rather than wanting to kill them

Really looking forward to giving this talk (related to my research on Queering Public Space) in Bath on Tuesday

Nigel Farage says he hates Europe but all his children, which have European mothers, have EU passports not British ones. He is a disgraceful fraud everything he says is a lie.

Her name was Paige Chivers She was just 15 She was groomed, abused and kiIIed by a member of Tommy Robinson’s EDL party. Another member of Tommy’s party helped dispose of the body. There were no riots. No marches.‘Tommy’ was silent, he didn’t even ask for donations RIP Paige

This is the result of the vile racial attack in a parc yesterday by a couple of English racists against a Philippino NHS nurse. Proud to be British? #farage

I hear that the areas which have become marked by flags have seen house values falls. I wonder if there will be similar effects on investment in those areas?

Join our lecture with Pippa Catterall (@catterall_pp) who will explore the nature and history of public space and the kind of interventions that might help to make public spaces work for all. 📍 Bath and online, 9 September 👉 https://t.co/YqK96pvGXd

Rhetorical question: why has this platforms algorithms taken to sending me the vapourings of various (unfollowed) far righters and their fellow travellers to give me a rude awakening every morning

The Coldstream Guards Band performed Black Sabbath's masterpiece Paranoid outside of Buckingham Palace as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on the day of his funeral. Don't let anybody tell you this isn't a great country. https://t.co/bDPUnVkAKu https://t.co/OUGp6GOvHt
