I loved working with the Conan Doyle Estate on Sir Arthur's perilous early life as a surgeon aboard a Peterhead whaling vessel. As you'll discover, he was very lucky to survive to create the Sherlock Holmes stories which have become internationally famous! conandoyleestate.com/news/insight...

Can someone explain to Starmer what "abolish' means, please. I'd do it myself but I'm busy today.

Yes. And major construction projects are agreed in the rural Highlands - such as a new hospital for Fort William - with no thought given to ensuring that childcare facilities are included. The short-sightedness is incredible.

I am thrilled that Blue Road - The Edna O'Brien Story won Best New Irish Feature at Cork Film Festival this weekend. I dedicated my award to the people of North Gaza who are being erased. It is worth using any opportunity to resist normalising this. Thanks to all the Edna devotees, old and new💚

I presented latest findings on who owns Scotland to Revive Coalition conference on the Big Land Question. Data from new edition of my book as at 30 June 2024. From 2012-24 private landownership has got more concentrated despite all the "efforts" to reverse this trend.
