I’m sure having my photo shared in this derogatory way would be devastating if my motivation for getting a PhD was to impress this guy and women-hating friends. Thankfully, it was not. So I can just laugh about it instead. 😊

Excited to receive my author copy today! Rape at the Opera is coming out in January—available for presale on Amazon and through the University of Michigan Press.

Did you know cold water swimming can improve your immune system, metabolism, circulation and heart health? It can alleviate chronic pain and improve mental health and general wellbeing And for women, research has shown considerable benefits in reducing PMS and peri-menopausal symptoms.

The Crown Prosecution Service does indeed have to give approval for police to charge suspects in serious crimes. But where is the evidence that when Keir Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions the CPS wrongly refused such consents in rape and child grooming cases? There is none. On the contrary Starmer was pro-active in focussing on this type of crime as @nazirafzal has correctly highlighted. There may well have been failures to address this issue elsewhere through reporting and investigation but that is not the role of the CPS. Baseless innuendo does not contribute to serous debate.

@EllyVintiadis Καλή χρονιά, @EllyVintiadis. Χαρούμενο το 2025!

Happy New Year!

@MoiraDonegan Happy birthday, Moira. gofundme.com/f/wep-co-staff…

It’s my birthday today! Everybody say, “Happy birthday, Moira.”

The @RejoinP doesn't know enough French or German to get the joke, but wants to rejoin the EU and of course a share of the pie. Perhaps they should start small by (re)joining @rosettastone. The clue is in the names. Jean-Louis Le Riche and Hans-Dietrich Geldmann 😂🤣

.@Jaimi_Shrive & @DrJessTaylor they'll probably spend it all on avocado toasts and prawn flavour crisps...

Absolutely NO sympathy for the WEP co staff. They've spent years promoting equality, fairness, & justice—DISGUSTING. I, for one, refuse to support woke feminists losing their jobs just because their woke party is closing. @RosieisaHolt, @Exploding_Heads gofund.me/23ee9c77

@LuciaOC_ Hi Lucia. Can you please check my last tweet and if possible help with it's visibility? It's for a good cause. Also, @DrProudman.

I am so unbelievably honoured to say that The Lasting Harm has been longlisted for the Gordon Burn, one of my favourite literary prizes. I admire Gordon's work and legacy so much and each year the panel of judges perfectly captures his remarkable skill, passion and commitment.

@PippaN15 A great guest for @InBedRightPod @adriandaub.

"Cancel culture: Heterodox self-censorship or the curious case of the dog which didn’t bark" How heterodox views, laws governing academic freedom, cultural attitudes, and academic status relate to self-censorship among scholars: doi.org/10.1177/019251…

@PippaN15 .@InBedRightPod and @adriandaub might Pippa Norris be an interesting guest on your podcast?

Delighted that this paper is, at last, out in real print... journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11… An update with new evidence testing the thesis will be forthcoming later this spring.

@lewis_goodall On cancel culture and Kathleen Stock, Peter Mandelson would benefit by reaching out to @amiasrinivasan, though Amia has already published her views. search.app/?link=https%3A…

NEW: Peter Mandelson tells @TheNewsAgents the govt should repair its relationship with @elonmusk and suggests Musk may have been “primed” by Labour’s political opponents. We “should make it our business to connect…he's frankly got too big a footprint…to ignore him….I suspect [Musk] was probably wound up and primed by Labour's political opponents to influence the election campaign, and he sort of walked straight through that door.”

Good discussion of @WEP_UK’s future and legacy on @BBCWomansHour this morning with @_EmmaGH of @guardian & Jemima Olchawski of @fawcettsociety It’s right at the top of the programme bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Loved the #BestOfEnemies on #NationalTheatreAtHome. What an amazing play. @ZacharyQuinto and @DavidHarewood give phenomenal performances. Brilliant work by @mrJamesGraham and @JerHerrin. Congratulations to everyone involved with this production.

Loved it! Now off to do a historical deep dive, starting with the actual debates. #BestOfEnemies #NationalTheatreAtHome

@yardenas What a terrible tweet and a terrible way to advertise for a book and imply that another book is a virus that needs an antidote. This tweet makes me want to read The Message. Your just trying to piggyback on Ta-Nehisi's visibility and popularity. Frankly, this tweet is pathetic.

The antidote to "The Message": Ta-Nehisi Coates spent 10 days in Israel, and thought that was enough to write a book about the most contested land on earth. My book, which came out the same day as his, is the result of 10 years of reporting from that land for dozens of publications, including @nytimes @nybooks @time @nbcnews & @economist. To anyone looking for the context and history Coates conveniently left out of his book, it's all here: a.co/d/eR4are0. Here's a sampling of that context (thread):
