Thank you @BACLS_official ! I am so thrilled and incredibly honoured to have won the BACLS Edited Collection Prize for my edited book Decolonising the Literature Curriculum. I am also grateful to the book’s outstanding contributors. This really means everything to me and them.

De Niro: It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent—no one, no one voted for new wars. No one voted for higher prices at the pump. No one voted for higher prices in grocery stores. No one voted for higher prices in the housing market. No one voted for deporting our good neighbors, and no one voted for government-masked thugs shooting down our citizens in the streets.

@feederofcats Rooting for little Dweeb 🥹♥️

Dweeb is at UC Davis and is getting his surgery tomorrow! They're going to do their best to fix his poor jaw. Here's a treat - he had buttons for 48 hours 🥹 The first surgeon applied button sutures just to hold his jaw together until he could get what he really needs at UCD.

The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK. Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture: thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

Just to get it straight. Donald Trump has: - threatened Canada (a NATO member) with invasion - threatened to occupy Greenland (part of Denmark, a NATO member) - announced several times that he wants to leave NATO - refused to support Ukraine, even though the United States gave security assurances to Ukraine in the Budapester Memorandum of 1994 - actively finances Putin‘s war against Ukraine by easing sanctions against Russia - denied that soldiers from European countries have ever supported the United States and thereby - spitting on the legacy of fallen European soldiers who supported U.S. operations - imposed witless tariffs on its allies - insulted the leaders of allied countries over the past months And now he wonders why not everyone comes running when he calls. The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is a mess for the whole world. But Donald Trump himself is responsible for this geopolitical chaos.

Nigel Farage cheered on Trump’s illegal war on Iran that is sending petrol prices and energy bills through the roof. Now he says he wants to cut your energy bills. This is just his latest con. Just like Brexit, he peddles lies then leaves the British people to pick up the tab.

Today we will see Trump explode! Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez has openly confronted Trump after the latter announced yesterday that he would sever trade relations with Spain. In his speech, he criticized Trump for his decision to start a war, emphasizing that his country does not support it and, above all, adheres to the principles of international law. He also pointed out that 23 years ago, there was already a major war in the Middle East in Iraq, which had devastating consequences, including increased migration and a rise in international Islamic terrorism. "Spain opposes this catastrophe. Because we understand that governments are there to improve people's lives, to solve problems, not to worsen them. And it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence and line the pockets of a select few." Sánchez concluded his speech by declaring that his country would not be complicit in anything that contradicts its values ​​simply because of "fear of reprisals from some individuals," and that he had confidence in "Spain's economic, institutional, and moral strength."

Part of the reason young people are turning against AI is because writers, artists and creators with youtube channels are sounding the alarm about the danger AI poses to the creative arts. It’s absolutely imperative that we continue to raise our voices against this.

Oh what a surprise - #NigelFarage has backed #JimRatcliffe Millionaire tax dodgers blame migrants while they live a lifestyle the rest of us will never achieve. They want us blaming each other - & not their wealthy friends - for Britain’s problems #RefugeesAreNotToBlame
