News from another war: The Culture War. Balanced & fair minded critics actually like The Marvels as a fun, enjoyable film. Frothing right wing reviewers grump it isn't Citizen Kane in space. Even rightists reluctantly admit Iman Vellani is great - a tough crowd for 'reasons'.

The past week of discourse has convinced me that even if Bashar al-Assad live-streamed himself gassing Eastern Ghouta and Douma there would be a very loud contingent of people on this platform still uncritically denying it.

April 1945. My grandparents and father in a cellar as the Red Army started a bombardment that would equal in days what Allied Bombers had done in years. 125,000 civilians out of the 2.8m population died from that & the house-to-house fighting. My infant uncle died from typhus.

University Of Montreal has lecturers who teach history who racially/misogynistically abuse their students. Université de Montréal.

It was a really impressive morning. Thanks very much British Business Bank and Innovate UK. I had to leave early due to other commitments but am hoping very much to connect with some of the panel speakers who spoke so informatively @LyvaLabs KPMG | Acceleris (Redefining VC Advisory) #DeepBridge

Liverpool can do innovation well.

On Sep 13, 1944, a princess from India lay dead at Dachau concentration camp. She had been tortured by the Nazis and then shot in the head. Her name was Noor Inayat Khan. The Germans knew her only as Nora Baker, a British spy who had gone into occupied France using the code name

It is getting scary. If we don't condemn the rising Islamophobia we are dead as a society. Criticising Hamas has become an excuse to target British citizens for entirely homegrown prejudice.

Ignore the headline - this is a positive story. The changes are to allow driver training, which has to happen to introduce the new trains. The plan (as has happened with every other line) is to start rolling them out on the Southport line in the coming weeks.

This has to stop. And I say that as someone who argues with anti-Israelis constantly. If Israel can't arrest Hamas without killing civilians in this way then they have to call a halt.
