The complete Bayeux Tapestry has finally been released and proves that Bishop Odo had absolutely nothing to do with the illegal Norman invasion of England.

King John may have been born #OnThisDay 1166 - or maybe not. His date of birth and place of birth are poorly documented and remain uncertain. No one pays much attention when you're son number five.

#OnThisDay 1135 the reign of King Stephen began with his coronation in Westminster Abbey. 'He was a mild man, soft and good', said his contemporary biographer, 'and did no justice'.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Magna Carta says "except by the lawful judgement of his peers OR by the law of the land".

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

"The takedowns and restrictions began in October and targeted the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp accounts of more than 50 organisations worldwide ... in what appears to be a growing push by Meta to limit reproductive health and queer content across its platforms."

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

Guys it was just non-malicious racism.

Just a vicious, lawless regime. The spectacle of masked gangs of state vigilantes, ripping people out of cars in full view of the street, is a terrible reminder of how quickly the unthinkable can become normal in a democratic society.

Anyone who cares about Europe's future and loathes Putin should want this plan to succeed. It's the single most important decision Europe can take for its own defence and Ukraine's survival. America is lost. www.ft.com/content/3c23...

Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Which bit of Magna Carta is supposed to guarantee trial by jury? Chapter 39 famously says no free man will be arrested, imprisoned, etc., 'except by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land'. That final 'or' clause means Magna Carta does NOT guarantee judgement by peers.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement. Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph Because this does NOT add up! No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies… 🧵1/9

This is absolutely magnificent! Listen to the rapturous applause as a student does the job our press and media won’t, and holds Reform UK’s Richard Tice to account over his lies RE his connection to ex-REFUK Wales leader Nathan Gill, recently jailed for 10+ yrs for taking Russian bribes as an MEP.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

#OnThisDay 1273 Alphonso, son of Edward I, was born in Bayonne, Gascony. He died in 1284. Had he lived and reigned, Alphonso would now be a popular English name.
