Tomorrow is our Winter Tour. As tradition dictates only two of the side know where we are going. You never know, you may see us out and about. Time to go and make offerings to the weather gods!

Blocked out a day to work on corrections on a couple of papers. Slow, but steady progress. I'm hoping it is one of those days when something clicks. Coffee and 6Music to try and ease the way.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation.
Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

A probably rare reference to Mulligan & O'Hare in a fashion article: for The Guardian, I've written about the enduring appeal of workwear, with a focus on how the generous cuts and boxy shapes suit the sportswear-averse, expanding & ageing male body:

Early start as always. Stir Up Sunday: Christmas pud has been steaming away since the small hours. It becomes ever more special as it is the only piece of cake/pudding I now have each year.
A lecture to finish writing for tomorrow, and a dying boiler to nurse along will frame the rest of the day.

Really good to hear Stella Creasy on @newsagents.bsky.social saying students should be removed from immigration figures. Of course they should! And they make up a huge chunk of the figures - around half. They’re part of the success story of global Britain - coming here to get a great education.
"I know there are a lot of MPs who are deeply uncomfortable at the idea of frisking people at the border to see if we can remove their jewellery," says Stella Creasy.

A right-wing cabal, largely unaccountable, is waging war on the principles that made our public broadcaster great. It must not succeed

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

The BBC is apologising for its Panorama edit. It shouldn’t. First, the narrative is true: Donald Trump *did* incite the Capitol riot. Second, the apology won’t appease those attacking it. So why not at least stand for something?

The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
The US President faced impeachment over the violence, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP.
And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.
