Only 4 of these people have children at school. Several don't have children at all. None of them have ever taught. And it's not going to be mandatory to wear a mask in schools anyway.

Still I suppose we all need to fill the empty days.

Thinking of describing myself as "not allowed to work space fisherman."
I seem to have been cancelled... very peculiar. I'd never even heard of him.
Genuinely.. never interacted with him or anything

Big announcement time!

For years I've banged on about the need for someone, anyone - to tackle FAKE HISTORY. And then last year, I was commissioned to do just that.

My book is out on June 10th.

This is - I'm afraid - going to take more than one tweet. I'm very grateful to @welbeckpublish for taking a punt on me and to my agent Doug Young. Thanks to, to The Bookseller for this - which sums up the direction of travel

Finally - and I'm sorry to come over all Oscars acceptance speech before the thing has even come out - thank you twitter friends for the arguments and friendships and banter. This site gets a bad rap. It's not all bad!

The absolutely extraordinary story of 'Douglas Berneville-Claye" - fantasist, bigamist, Nazi collaborator and member of the SAS.

I've long been fascinated with the story of the traitor Harry Cole (not the Sun journalist) who caused such havoc in wartime France - but this story is on an equally fascinating level. These are the war stories we don't hear because they don't fit the narrative...

Sunak wants to be PM. That's it. That's his overarching ambition and it drives all that he does. We need fewer politicians who want to be PM and more who actually want to do something worthwhile and useful. That's my hot take on Sunak. And indeed the entire cabinet.

London Mayoral election has always attracted its fair share of fringe candidates but it's undoubtedly a bumper year.
And I'm sorry but I refuse to believe this one is real.
Good to see Winston is keeping himself busy. Lost track of how many times and parties he's stood for

The UK has just 25 statues to women who were not Queens or Princesses. A staggering statistic. And now the government is seeking to erect 1,700 new statues to (mostly male) war heroes reducing the ratio even further.

That would mean that just 1.5% of British statues would be to women.
This seems to be an initiative of the "Common Sense Group". That curious band of Tory MPs who have nothing better to do with their time than lament the passing of Victor Comic Britain

Me for Byline Times on the government's war on woke and the great "free speech paradox." And more - why we should be worried.

Written yesterday before a great debate descended into my timeline.
As I keep stressing I think the government's target is control of history, control of the narrative and division. They need a new front. I accept other aspects are at play.
