Who would have thought that #Cambridge University's Faculty of Divinity would be a centre of extreme-right extremism, and that the University would so secretive about it.

The takedown of Jason Arday has overjoyed the right, and must be a wake-up call for the left

The takedown of Jason Arday has overjoyed the right, and must be a wake-up call for the left
The Cambridge academic has rightly now resigned. But that won’t end the targeting of senior black figures or the lazy way institutions promote faux equality, says Guardian columnist Jason Okundaye

Wonderful few days in #Glasgow. Kids treated us to meals at Margo and Unalome. I got to the Hunterian at last and saw a whole crinoid, also visited the Police Museum and got to know Trongate a little better. Had a few walks around Merchant City, hung out at my daughter's flat, rummaged in Waterstones and came away £30 poorer and three books richer, the others went on a distillery tour, and at …

Lake District from the train. Green grass, fields, blue sky and wispy clouds.
Model of a red police box at the Police Museum.
Third floor view of the Tron Steeple, a light orangey colour square tower with elaborate steeple on top and clocks placed high up. You can't really see but on the right hand elevation there's a model that moves when the clock strikes. Glasgow roofscape in yhe background under grey skies.
Somewhere in the grounds of the University of Glasgow. A Scots Baronial Cambridge-style square heads away.
