Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear.

Séamas O’Reilly: Ballymena violence is the result of politics based on scapegoating any ‘other’
"The central perversity of treating these people as anything other than racist thugs is only more transparent in Ballymena because they have so few migrants that any other excuse is patently absurd."

The full report by the Tony Blair Institute is out, in which they detail how copyright should be "rebooted" in the AI age. It reads like a big tech lobbying document. I hope they will be asked serious questions at its launch in London today.

COVER REVEAL!
Here's what my upcoming book, "Nature's Memory: Behind the Scenes at the World's Natural History #Museums" will look like. I couldn't guess what image my publishers at Penguin would select to represent ALL SPECIMENS IN ALL MUSEUMS, but I think this snail is perfect. #CoverReveal

Decades of research show that anti-immigration positions don’t help center-left parties win elections. Not now, not in the past, not never. 👇
