RIP John Prescott. I interviewed him as part of a research project in 2018. He had a wonderful turn of phrase. Describing meeting up with Tony Blair on the train travelling to down to London the day after the 1997 election, 'Tony came down the carriage, all teeth and handshakes'.

Alina is an excellent historian and an authority on the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. Thoroughly recommend anyone interested in the Second World War to follow her.
