Everyone I know is at SHoW…but I’ve been in Zonnebeke to give a lecture for the Passchendaele Memorial Museum on the role of women in wartime, as part of the museum’s participation in the UN Orange the World campaign against domestic violence. A pleasure to speak for such an engaged audience!

Found an old notebook which is mostly empty but contains, for reasons lost to the mists of time and memory, a biography of the Empress Theodora (misspelled)

I don’t want to exaggerate the personal aspect here - I’m covered by this, though would Farage care about an international contract? But by god migrants have got to stick together here on this one - we’re who we’ve got, and an injury to one is an injury to all

Forcing people to give up their birth citizenship for a passport we’ve already been told is unstable, because the government would retrospectively change the rules of engagement on entry and eligibility, is a fool’s game

Odd wording from the FT considering Rooney is Irish and living in Ireland - you could argue it’s just saying Rooney is famous in Britain, but there are more effective ways to express that

In 2014 this photo a friend took of me at a nice dinner made me cry because I thought I looked awful and it triggered years of disordered eating and dieting so no, I wouldn't wish my 20s back, really.
