24 October 1945. Norwegian Prime Minister and Nazi collaborator, Vidkun Quisling (aged 58), was executed after being found guilty of high treason against the Norwegian state. The word “quisling” became a byword for “collaborator” or “traitor” in several languages.

Simply shout out Gabriel today. 200 Premier League Appearances for The Arsenal. Absolute colossus CB. Arteta recently talked about his journey and progress. Easily one of the best CB’s in world football. We dont praise him enough. His partner is back soon too!

Terrible conditions, little rest after an intense trip to Bayern, and what looked like a nasty injury, but Gabriel marks his 200th #Arsenal appearance with a goal to kill the game and put us level on points either way City. A true warrior who personifies Mikel’s project. Legend.

Honestly, I'm emotional over the Gabriel goal, I thought he was gone for the season... Undertaker return from the dead stuff. What a player. Love him.

10 Cabot Square, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in a Chicago style Beaux-Arts revival, built 1988-91, recommended Grade II listing by @C20Society Sadly the DCMS has given it immunity from listing, risking demolition & replacement by yet another steel and glass tower 1/2

What frankly is the point of government publishing this sort of statement on trade negotiations with absolutely no useful content? Compulsive secrecy to the point of parody. For no good reason whatsoever. gov.uk/government/news/updat…

Labour comes up with a totally new plan to help businesses that I’ve never seen before - cut red tape! Why haven’t last 20 chancellors thought of that? Oh, wait a minute…

A reminder that welfare spending as a percentage of GDP is at 10.6 % currently and was at 13.5% when the Conservatives were in charge. 55% of claimants are pensioners, most of whom vote Conservative.
🚨 Britain's benefits bill is ballooning out of control. Every meeting of Labour MP’s is about “…who can we tax more to give more benefits to others” Labour are sacrificing our national security in order to maintain this completely unsustainable welfare system. We need to get Britain working again.

Just like the old East India Company, these robber baron companies, presided over as they are by unaccountable oligarchs, are more powerful than Sovereign states. They have contempt for us.

Earlier this week I approached a journal editor to propose an article on the 'crisis in academic marketing'. He would normally have said yes, but he had to turn me down for fear of repercussions. He didn't want to be seen to be 'taking sides' amidst mass sector redundancies.

The govt (Lucy Powell) is talking about Holocaust Education in schools. I've written four books for children/young people on this and made a video with photos, maps and documents. I'll be interested to see if the official Holocaust Education bodies carry on ignoring these.
