Thoroughly enjoyed discussing my new book, A Very British Cult, with such a well-informed audience. Thanks to all who attended.
Great talk last night by @FlindersStuart as part of @TauntonLitFest organised by @brendon_books. Who knew that what we'd always thought locally was a peculiar little religious sect was actually a national cause célèbre? Looking forward to reading his book, A Very British Cult.
A century before Black Lives Matter, when the Nicholson statue, which @DalrympleWill says in @thetimes should fall, appeared in Delhi in 1906, the British principal of a nearby college described it as ‘racially offensive and humiliating.’

Andy, It was the first time there’d been a Merseyside Derby on a Saturday evening since the match Tommy played in. Pretty loose reason, but every story needs a treatment. Here’s a piece I did about it days later: youtube.com/watch?v=FVYQvOt6…
Windermere. Early February. Almost shirt sleeve weather. That’s the good news. The bad news is that a sudden drop in tourism from China because of #corononavirus is costing @cumbriatourism badly. @BBCNWT 1830 tonight.
How did a life-size replica of this bridge on the M53 end up in @TateGallery Britain? Find out on @BBCNWT at 6.30. Or ask Turner Prize winner, @MarkLeckey
Meet the Mathurs. They’ve driven 14,000 miles from Singapore in their car to be at the @cricketworldcup semifinal at @EmiratesOT . They’ve been telling me about their remarkable journey. @BBCNWT 1830.

These two characters can be seen close up at @mcrartgallery from tomorrow. 12 drawings by #Leonardo da Vinci are on display for a limited time. They are so fragile and valuable that they are normally locked away. Another 11 on show at @walkergallery. See them on @BBCNWT

HRH Countess of Wessex at the unveiling of Victory over Blindness, a new statue at Manchester’s Piccadilly Station. It was commissioned by @BlindVeterans. It remembers those blinded in World War One and conflicts since then. Take a closer look on @BBCNWT at 1830.
This picture’s not much better. Luckily, Richard Goodaire is behind the lens for my @BBCNWT piece. 1830, BBC One
Just been to ancient Egypt via @BoltonLMS . Museum reopens tomorrow after a major overhaul. Very impressive. Star attraction: the mummy I remember first seeing as a boy in Bolton. See new look museum on @BBCNWT tonight at 1830. (My photo doesn’t do it justice!)
