I haven’t really promoted my podcast on Twitter before, I get slightly cringed about self promotion but after well over 1,000 episodes (some now lost in the mists of the internet) I thought why not? You can hear the full episode at acast.com/explaininghist… #history #historyteacher
I don’t really think of Britain as a country in the traditional sense of the word.
Reagan and Thatcher didn’t just shake up the 80s. They rewired Britain forever. The UK never escaped. Here's how it became neoliberalism’s most loyal servant. x.com/Kathleen_Tyson…
Kind of fitting to promise something and hours later say in not so many words that it was bullshit. Almost like they’re honouring Trump.
The EU has admitted it doesn’t have the power to deliver on a promise to invest $600 billion in the United States economy, only hours after making the pledge at landmark trade talks in Scotland. ow.ly/LHo850Ww1yL
An ex-Sun editor with a conviction and who was previously crowned "sexist of the year" has just been handed a plum job at the heart of Government, funded by you the taxpayer. Sign the petition objecting to this appointment now: hackedoff.org/campaign-actio…
Ursula Le Guin: “A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. 1/2
We, citizens of Israel, working in Israeli academic institutions, share civil responsibility for the horrendous acts done in our name at the Gaza Strip, in particular the contempt for human lives, the policy of starvation and the demolition of Gazan cities. We call upon all those…
Reluctant to wade in on this but for what my 2p is worth, some of the discourse around James Schneider is stinking to high heaven, but quite clearly someone whose wife is a press secretary for Keir Starmer should be nowhere near the inner circle of a new left party.

Man as corrupt and stupid as he is casually sadistic finds himself in deep moral and political hole and demands that his flunkies and goons dig him out. Spoiler: they will fill it in. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Is darkly amusing that Brexit Britain’s desperate scramble for a US trade deal involved abandoning tarriff free access to EU markets, something the US has just achieved
The modern definition of a Pyrrhic victory just entered the golf clubhouse. From what I gather the European Union: will purchase American energy resources for $750 billion, will invest another $600 billion in the US economy, will buy weapons from Washington worth billions of…
Remember this? This is what terrified them. We were robbed of a decent PM by the Zionist forces. Our government is compromised & the UK is occupied. They’re just drinking tea instead of wielding guns. I’m so ready for a revolution of our 2 party system #YourParty #JeremyCorbyn
You're not even flogging a dead horse anymore, John, just prodding at the carcass with a stick!
Right idea. Wrong Party. #yourpartyuk
The EU - US deal is scandalous… a disaster…with not one concession from the American side…badly negotiated…
If Europeans were paying attention (or being told the truth), they should be beyond appalled by this "deal": bbc.com/news/articles/… It's nothing more than one of the most expensive imperial tributes in history. Just a massive one-way transfer of wealth with no reciprocal…

Anthropologists are telling us that if we don't punch Nazis and take away their wealth we doom ourselves to servitude and death, whichever they choose for us first.

Schneider, Jones, Novara etc, I have reservations like many but they’re allowed in if they don’t act the cunt is my basic position
Thank you. The number of presenters and journalists suddenly posting all over their social media - actual and implied protestations - in the last 24 hours when the they’ve been silent for the last 21 months is the most egregious display of hypocrisy I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Yep, this is the left of the Democrat Party
I am just now finding out that these are the *only tweets* about Gaza by famed liberal and former U.S. Senator Al Franken since the genocide began 600+ days ago.
