I've read 14 history and non fiction books in 2024. In order

1) white gold - the extraordinary story of white slavery in 17th/18th century Morocco.
2) the lion and the unicorn - the parallel lives of Disraeli and Gladstone.

Just finished this - a brilliant introduction to the world Genghis khan was born into, to the world he created and ultimately to the legacy of the Mongols.
🐎🐎 EPISODE 19 IS OUT NOW 🐎🐎

With readings in Mongolian, Arabic & Chinese, and with the sounds of Mongolian folk music, find out how the world's largest land empire rose and fell, and left the world we know behind.

2nd post...Andrea Jenkyns has moved to Reform because of the chance to become mayor of Greater Lincolnshire. Lincs is fertile territory for reform and this offers her a cabinet level salary.

Follow the money we as they say.

1st post. I am not a labour supporter at all but I don't agree with Louise Haigh's resignation.

It seems excessively harsh for an offence that took place 10 years ago, seems a one off and is now "spent."

Proportionality is a key concept we often overlook.

It goes without saying that anyone with MH issues should reach out.

But perhaps the rest of us can look out for anyone who we think is struggling, as often one of the features of poor MH is not feeling able to reach out.
🤍 13 years ago, a legend passed away. Gone, but never forgotten, Gary Speed and his family are forever in our thoughts. RIP Gary
