I’m outside Asylum Link Merseyside, one of the locations mentioned on Telegram as a potential site for far-right mobilisation today. There is a huge presence of people who’ve turned out to oppose the far-right - as far as I can see no visible far-right thus far.

Last night the club that I’ve adored since I was 5 has broken me, everything I thought we stood for felt like a farce so much for YNWA and freedom of speech, I travel up 3 hours every home game even when I can’t get a ticket just to be in the city for game… 1/6 @LFC @LFCHelp
Liverpool fan escorted out The Kop for wearing a Free Palestine Hoodie. Disgraceful from the club

Happy #SummerSolstice2022 all. I wish I was back in Orkney at the Ring of Brodgar. This time of year attracts some real characters

I've been reliably informed there will be free copies of Ulysses from the embassy and Guinness (not free but not Dublin prices) #Bloomsday

It's always been a city. Speak to me when it's rightfully reinstated as the capital
Woohoo! Once #Scotland's ancient capital, now Dunfermline is Scotland's 8th city! 🥳🎉 Have YOU visited yet? 😍 📍 Dunfermline Abbey, @welcometofife 📷 IG/caledonianino

My research requires a critical interrogation of the policies adopted by Harold Wilson’s governments. It was nice to get the time to quickly see his statue in Huddersfield. He was PM when Britain was happiest and most egalitarian, and my criticisms are always in that context.

Two years ago today I finished reporting the Alex Salmond trial, heard the PM announce a national lockdown (with a three-week review) and joined folk in Edinburgh's Wally Dug getting as much cheap ale as possible in all sorts of containers. The past is a foreign country
