Want to know more about JCB's big yellow diggers? Read this excellent piece by @imaanirfan.bsky.social on the right's love affair with JCB, in which she also pretty much predicted that Bamford and his firm would become a major Reform donor

Shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Conor Gearty. He was funny, and kind, generous with his time, and unafraid to speak truth to power. Someone who spoke with such rare clarity and force on the dangers to civil liberties and human rights at this moment in the UK
This was Conor Gearty only a week or so ago at @prospectmagazine.co.uk on ECHR withdrawal and the Palestine Action ban.
