Honestly, I did NOT have "punching the air and going HELL YES to Chris Patten" on my bingo card today. But what he says is SO rarely said and needed saying SO badly!
"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
"How shall we treat Mr Farage's concerns? Shall we hail Brexit a tremendous success? Something that has cost the country billions?"
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Laurie Magnus: Rayner acted "in good faith", had "the intention to pay all appropriate taxes", "was twice informed in writing" that the lower rate was due, "sought quickly to correct the mistake", "acted with integrity", but didn't seek expert advice.
That was a mistake. But I find this much worse⬇️

Farage uses tax avoidance vehicles meaning he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits, instead of 40% income tax, but his supporters see this as a virtue and of course there's a very legal difference between this kind of avoidance and evasion www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

One of many things I took away from the World Economic History Congress last week is how much ECRs appreciate having opportunities to review books (and, in turn, having their books reviewed). Just a reminder that @journalmaritime.bsky.social welcomes ECRs as reviewers – see the details below! 👇 🗃️
I am also the book reviews editor for the International Journal of Maritime History (@journalmaritime.bsky.social). Are you a PhD student/early career scholar who would like to review for the journal? Follow the instructions below!
