Marmalade down. Amazing story.
There is much ignorance as to what a vote of no confidence in a Scottish First Minister actually means (technically, not much).
I wrote about art and protest for The Art Newspaper. (NB, I don't choose the pic, or write the Tweet, and the article doesn't say what - from these - you might assume it says).

How about that, Shakespeare and Turner both born on the same day.

I think this anxious search for consensus is actually bearing out one of Clark’s big themes or morals about the sustaining force of civilisation: “confidence”. It’s a parallel he suggests between theologian, statesman, bridge builder, TV art critic, and the creative artist.
… I think the trend in both public history and academia is, first, moving away from ‘big picture’ stuff in favour of narrower focused events, and secondly, a desire to cling more closely to what is perceived to be ‘the consensus’. >

The damage Lord Frost has done to the economy of the United Kingdom, our reputation for competence and the Union of the United Kingdom ensures him a place in history books. The more nonsense he writes, the more he resembles the male version of the historic Liz Truss disaster.
Lord David Frost “negotiated” the most disadvantageous trade deal in our history. Now, tilting at windmills of his own imagination, he wants to double down on the philosophy and policies that have self-evidently failed us. He is, literally, preposterous. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
The First Minister ended the agreement partly because of deeply unserious politicking on display here, but he said he’s keeping the progressive policies. One thing that will certainly not deliver progressive policies is teaming up with the Tories to bring down the government.
The @scottishgreens' confidence in the First Minister was based on the Bute House Agreement, a progressive policy programme he chose to end, losing our support. What is @scotgov's policy platform now? We all, inc SNP members worried about a lurch to the right, deserve to know.

I am amazed that even Mary's sensible and thoughtful reflections on Kenneth Clark's 'Civilisation' can be caught up in a culture war spat. I daresay Clark would have seen it as a sign of impending barbarism. But fwiw, here's some more thoughts from me. 🧵

@arthistorynews As a man of the left, I wonder if Clark might have had mixed feelings about visiting Spain or promoting travel there. I know many would not cross the border until Franco's death.
@arthistorynews Who know? 30 years ago I might've made that conflation (world = west). But it now glares, & we must see where 'we' are. Some people in this thread think you shd see Clark in the context of the time. True, but we also need to see him from NOW.That's the bifocality of good history.
@arthistorynews Thanks B.I'd hoped I made absolutely clear the positive impact of Clark. But it helps no one (and indeed undermines the admiration) to see no criticism. Great bits of telly or criticism are great because they get people disagreeing. This minor skirmish in the culture wars is odd!
