“Fascinating book from my colleague @RhonddaBryant. Reminds me of being upbraided by a fellow Labour MP: “Why are all you gays liberal interventionists”. My answer:”Because we don’t fare too well under dictatorships”. https://t.co/H1zUCBkJNO” (from X)
This beautifully illustrated book takes Black boys through the alphabet from A-Z while highlighting positive characteristics that make boys special. It demonstrates love, affirmation, and beauty through its poetry and imagery. In these pages, you'll find simple words that are used to highlight deep concepts that can help to instill good habits, shape their positive self-image, and seed new dreams. Black boys are AMBITIOUS, BOLD, and CONFIDENT - just to name a few! Black boys shine!

But, tragically, Clegg had long decided to back Cameron’s Tories instead, as @Andrew_Adonis catalogues in his brilliant book on those talks.” (from X)
Born out of a series of Oxford University lectures devised by the former director of the No. 10 Policy Unit, Andrew Adonis, Half In, Half Out presents a comprehensive and enlightening look at Britain's Prime Ministers over the past seven decades - and explores their often hugely differing attitudes towards our neighbours on the other side of the Channel.
