Finally got my hands on a copy. I will discuss the book & my work in this area at the Contemporary British History Seminar at the IHR on 19 November. Sadly I’ll have to do it online because I’ve used up my travel quota (have a small baby). But thanks to @helenglew.bsky.social for the invitation

Norway’s radical right party FrP text 430,000 young men today to warn them against voting for parties on the left in the Norwegian general election on election day. I’m pleased to say at almost 44 years of age that they consider me to be one of those young men :)

It’s finally publication day for our ed. volume on Conservatism and Christian Democracy in North-West Europe! I don’t have my own copies yet but when they arrive I plan to post more about the book. I’d be grateful if you would recommend it to your university libraries. We hope to achieve a paperback

It was also a nice surprise and an honour to get these endorsements from @fieryparticle.bsky.social @saimanasar.bsky.social Ben Jackson and Martin Francis. A ‘thousands thanks’ as we say over here in Norway

This isn’t a bad start for 2025.

We the editors are delighted to have submitted ‘Conservatism, Christian democracy and the dynamics of transformation’ to @manchesterup.bsky.social today. Here is a peak of what’s to come in the New Perspectives on the Right series

Watching Director @AllenPackwood introduce 50th anniversary conference of @ChuArchives from Trondheim. Commitments here meant I couldn’t be there, but I’ve always greatly appreciated the Centre & the support of Allen, his staff, & the college. It’s a great place to do research
