Strength via the wardrobe 💁‍♀️
Pinned
Ok let’s kick things off with the best outfit purchase I’ve ever made. As I think this week has shown, I’m fiercely proud of my academic work and if I sense it’s being undermined in any way then I will speak up. I’m just as proud of how clothes can transform my strength & mindset each and every day.

Thanks to all at @angliaruskin.bsky.social for having me last weekend for Starmer Year One.

Despite the nerves, I loved presenting on Chelgate’s perspective of how Labour have performed in their first year in office. Also, great to reunite with a few familiar faces!

When work give you the perk of a spa day at the Shard.

Also, shout out to the pool guy who got this in one take.

Mainly because he has to take the exact same picture for around 200 different women each and every day.

Being listed second to @timbale.bsky.social here is slightly terrifying, but I promise to do my best, despite being amongst such cleverness.

Do join us on 14th June at ARU, Cambridge for ‘Starmer Year One’

Coat is from Reiss which, helpfully, works wonders with the new YSL ✨

I don’t think it will ever leave me, but I do think speaking up about this is majorly important. Thanks to Adam Ball who was a fabulous presenter to interview me on all things Anorexia. I wish I’d got help way back when. You can hear me from 2:12:45.

Recently, a colleague mentioned that my thinness had been raised as a concern by a Director who doesn’t know my history. I took that as a major compliment. It’s been far from a linear ride, but it’s been particularly tricky lately to the point where I’ve lost a stone. The struggle is real #EDAW

Now and then people complement me on what I’m wearing, but never before has a man apologised for doing so and asked “am I allowed to say that?”. Until yesterday.

So here’s to a new timeless favourite…

“So does this mean I’m now Director of Crisis Management, then?”

“Well, erm. You will be ‘directing’ our Crisis Management division, yes. But we are going to hold your hand quite a bit at first, ok?”

Woohoo! Cheers to that! 🥂

This wasn’t how I’d planned to kick start 2025. But thanks to all #NHS staff who’ve looked after me this week. From 111, to A&E, to UTC, I can’t thank you enough for being there. I was seen almost instantly times. Rough ride, but finally home, resting & recovering 🫶

When the BBC asked “could we have a picture of you holding the letter?” it took 2 hours and 256 takes to achieve it.

If anyone didn’t know that I was an expert on Thatcherism & the US, they sure as hell do now!

Thanks to everyone who has engaged with this, it means the world ✨

Thanks to the BBC who have really gone all out with this. I never imagined this would take off in the way it has and the fact that my work is getting seen to this extent blows my mind. I spent a long time researching that trip in 1977, which is where the thesis first began.

I remember being massively impressed when Dr Stacey, then taking her PhD with me as supervisor, got a reply from President Carter... that showed a lot of class. RIP.
When I was a PhD student, I wrote to President Carter asking of his relationship with Thatcher. It was a long shot & never in a million years did I believe he’d respond. He will forever be my favourite historical source & a President that I can’t not admire. I’ve read everything he’s ever said #RIP

Boxing Day drinking game was quite fun until it was my turn and my husband asked:

“What’s your biggest secret?”

And honestly I almost choked! Never have I ever sobered up so fast!
