VERY funny that Labour are being pointlessly cruel and haemorrhaging support from their base and yet none of what they're offering is ever going to be enough for the people whose approval they're seeking, WHO could have predicted it

I mean look, this is straightforward reputational damage to this university right? Like, do I need to draw a line from this immensely lazy 'teaching' to the PR and recruitment consequences? I suspect I don't. People hamming it up like AI will change education forever are sellin' snake-oil

Once again: Labour produced a spectacularly untalented generation of politicians in New Labour’s slipstream, and everything from Corbyn’s election as leader to the current government’s travails is downstream of and undeniable proof of that.

I was just thinking the other day that it is mad that if this continues then the book I'm writing, about London 1560-1630, will contain basically no British Library manuscript material. Would have been unthinkable to me but there hasn't been a manuscript catalogue for two years now!
I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The Social Democrat defeat in Copenhagen is big and significant, but I do warn people - if Labour completely collapsed in London, would that *in itself* make this Labour leadership change course?

Historian pals: looking for some reading recommendations on post-1945 sex work in England and, particularly, London — both in terms of its actual conduct as well as campaigns against it, including by police. Particularly late 1950s-early 1960s!

OK, but, to be fair, May did try to say one thing to the Telegraph and another to the EU in the hopes that nobody in the German government could read English...
No! Labour is not operating on the basis that you can say something in the Sun, then feint into something more liberal in reality! They’re not that crazy.

The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT
