What an infuriating act of educational and cultural vandalism this is. The Shakespeare Institute belongs in Stratford-upon-Avon. It is symbiotic with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and credit to Sir @stanley_wells for making it so. Edgbaston?

We have been informed that the University of Birmingham have decided to relocate the Shakespeare Institute from Stratford-upon-Avon to the Edgbaston campus, ready for the new academic year, 2027/28

I shall be preaching again at St Mary's in Hedgerley tomorrow morning. Another one of our congregation died recently: our numbers are dwindling. If laity didn't man this, there'd be nothing. I've just finished my sermon — my subject will be sheep and goats, and why goats rock.🐐

Very fond memories of Ralph Harris... and his pipe.

I’m so happy to see everything @iealondon is achieving under @DanielJHannan’s leadership!

The IEA is the mothership of think tanks. It was founded in 1955 by Antony Fisher, a chicken farmer who detested post-war red tape making it more difficult for him to put food on people’s tables.

I interned at the IEA when I was 19, and was so excited to work at an organisation with such a rich history, and even more delighted when they offered me a job. I made some of my closest friends at the IEA, learnt an awful lot about economic freedom, and was very sad to leave it all behind earlier this year (but also, America is AWESOME!) — this is all to say that the IEA is an organisation that was founded to tell the world why people should be free to exchange with one another without the Government getting in the way, and more than 70 years later, it is led by one of our movement’s greatest communicators.

Perhaps we may be able to save Britain after all! 🇬🇧

Grim, indeed. And grimmer because he'd clearly planned this little ‘Love Actually’ pastiche, and rehearsed it in front of a mirror, believing it was good, when actually it was a travesty. And grimmest because he is oblivious to how unutterably shallow his apprehension is.

"Britain is the country of Churchill and Sadiq Khan" is one of the grimmest sentences imaginable.

‘If you're the tallest, the smallest,
You can beat them all.’
Roy Castle would have loved this, wouldn't he? Standing in between them, looking up, and looking down, and then grinning widely to camera. #GWRday
