Great point.

Jenrick is a complete cretin imo, and the BBC absolutely shouldn’t have apologised nor censored the episode, but I quite like the fact the offending bit is printed in full in the article. Bit of a Streisand effect.

Also works for hangovers.

Ps: does anyone know the story/hagiography behind this image?

There are LOADS of these where I live. Such an interesting life cycle too. Also they retain the toxicity from the ragwort into their winged state! Makes ‘em taste nasty to other animals.

Good result! Reform is being massively over-hyped by certain corners of the media. It’s about creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Say ‘Farage will be PM’ enough times and it will come true. Happily the British public are not falling for it (yet!)

Decided to read this because of my previous book.

As expected - not a whole lot of depth, but witty and thoroughly entertaining. Worthy of the hype if you want a quick read.

Death on Location by Rev Richard Coles

No pleasure should be ‘guilty’… absolutely love this series of books! Ripped through this one in two days. Banger.

Another England by Caroline Lucas

This is an important book atm.

It examines how the concept of pride in the UK / Union Jack has been co-opted by the far right and how we can take back these symbols and have a progressive form of pride in the UK.

A History of God by Karen Armstrong

I guess I’ve been on a non-fic journey lately!

Monsters by Claire Dederer

I really enjoy Dederer’s stuff in the NY Times so I checked this out. Written in her typically acerbic and autobiographical prose it discusses how/if it’s possible to appreciate great art made by bad people.

Answer: it’s complicated!

White Holes by Carlo Rovelli

This book is super interesting. A really complicated and crazy area of theoretical physics explained in a clear and understandable way. I’m not sure I got all of it but it was a great read!

Picked this up because of my previous book… Theology (a very short introduction) by David F. Ford.

I like this series and thought this was a nice general insight into Theology. I feel like I now have a Wikipedia level understanding of this!

Silence by Diarmaid McCulloch

Focuses mainly on Christianity but has references to the role and importance of silence in other religions too. Interesting book!

Dude on the cover looks pretty chill too.

James by Percival Everett.

Absolutely loved this one.

I just finished this book! Absolutely amazing.

Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang

Didn’t really get on with this one. I think the style wasn’t really my thing, but I liked her first book.

Give it a try if you liked My Year of Rest Relaxation - same vibe

A Beginner’s Guide to Dying by Simon Boas

Such a beautiful book. An irreverent take on looking Death in eye and giving it a swift kick in the nuts on the way past. Also tips on how to interact with someone you know who’s dying (very relevant for me atm)

Massive recommend.
