Just like some of us, the palaces are very old and quite high-maintenance, and with everything they've been through we think they deserve all the care and attention we can offer. Last financial year we spent £37 million on conservation and maintenance alone. (2/4)

We’ve got to be honest — we need your help.    As a self-funded charity we're privileged to look after 6 remarkable buildings. Usually visitor income funds our work, but the lockdown has left us with a £95 million shortfall this year (an 85% reduction in our usual income). (1/4)

Please sign this important open letter! There are huge numbers of University staff facing job losses right now; not knowing whether contracts will be renewed, losing hours, and being left out in the cold during a sector wide recruitment freeze #ucustrikes docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

In response to @borisjohnson’s announcement, I’m calling on govt to enact emergency measures to protect women & children trapped in abusive homes: police powers to evict perpetrators from homes for duration of #lockdown, via DVPOs including waiving court fees for them.

Farewell, friends!

With heavy hearts, we’re raising the drawbridge 🏰    In light of recent govt advice the Tower will close from Friday evening. This extraordinary building has withstood a great deal in its 1,000 year history, and we'll bounce back from this too.    Stay tuned, and stay safe 👑

If this is a negotiating tactic, it will fail. If a genuine policy, it's absurd. The Convention is a great British achievement of the post war era, written by British Conservative lawyers! How they would weep now. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Voting for the Tories to fix nine years of the Tories doesn't make any sense

We took a closer look at p48 of the Tory manifesto... @maitlis: Is this a shifting away from a legal framework, to a political framework? @LordCFalconer: It is... so if Mr Johnson becomes PM again, he won't be restrained by the courts from acting unlawfully #Newsnight | #GE19

Ever wondered whether we've found any archaeology on your street? This nifty map we made in partnership with @HistoricEngland shows you notable finds from Prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and Medieval London! 🗺️🔍ow.ly/CLfi50xnUUg

Sir David Attenborough says it is "shameful" of the Prime Minister not to attend last night's climate change debate.  "I don't know what else he had to do, but it would have to be very, very important to dodge this one." #DitchTheTories

This seems to have wound people up more than usual

This week, Extinction Rebellion shut down 60 cities globally. Here's @MrNishKumar's take on it all... #TheMashReport

I try not to tweet political opinions, but as it’s my birthday allow me just one. The Tories do want to sell off the NHS. Not in one go, just bit by bit until it’s unrecognisable. You’ll turn up one day and there will be a priority waiting room. They’ve always been open about it.


Question for you, #twitterstorians: Can you think of interesting examples of medieval LGBTQ+ women @TowerOfLondon?

.@BorisJohnson, what’s at stake is not winning some stupid blame game. At stake is the future of Europe and the UK as well as the security and interests of our people. You don’t want a deal, you don’t want an extension, you don’t want to revoke, quo vadis?

Gina Miller was born in Guyana, not India. It was a British colony when she was born. Hers is a Windrush story. She came to the UK aged 10. She is as British as you and has done more for British values than you ever will.

Gina Miller stands for openness, democracy and the rule of law. She represents the best of British and is far more of a patriot than those who call her a "traitor".

Gina Miller boo'd leaving the #supremecourt this evening. Angry onlookers shouted "TRAITOR" and "SHYSTERS" at her legal team. WE SAY "WELL DESERVED" ✅

Seemingly, many Brexit snowflakers are up-in-arms at the wonderful Steph McGovern's parting shot at the misogynist mess currently squatting in 10 Downing Street. So just for them, here it is in all it's glory again.... #GirlySwotsUnite
