Brilliant. Martin Lewis destroying the defence minister on Good Morning Britain. ‘Minister can I interrupt you. You keep talking about getting people into work… but PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. I don’t know why you keep talking about getting people back to work’. #TakingThePIP

I prefer physically owning my video games. Or, well... any media really. Probably an unpopular statement these days. I know digital is faster and more convenient, but I'm much more inclined to buy a product if I know I TRULY own it. It's sadly becoming a rarity these days...

A historian who doesn't do any actual research is like a neurosurgeon who doesn't operate on brains. It's so fundamental to what we do that you can hardly claim the title "historian" without it.

When Joseph Lister began advocating germ theory in the 19th century, his critics ridiculed him. One man would walk into the operating theatre, slam the door, and say: "There, Mr. Lister's germs can't get in!" Never thought when I was writing THE BUTCHERING ART that we'd be backsliding into the past.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask.

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.
