The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.

At the heart of the production of the Coronation is the repetition of the idea that history is linear with a continuity that we can ‘reach back into’. This is authorised by the use of symbols such as uniforms. The past is performed.

Strike Day 4 is on Valentine’s Day. ❤️ my @ucuatqub and @UniteQUB comrades fighting for the soul of @QUBelfast . I wonder if our VC might make a special appearance to engage with staff? #LoveQUB Or abandon us to the 13th year of pay cuts. 🤔 #ucuRISING
