Really delighted to be speaking at this year's @ChalkeFestival after an exciting @RoyalHistSoc 'Pitch My Project' final. Training young historians means hearing more of the stories that surprise us, intrigue us, and make us think. That's good for everyone.

Delighted, excited, and more than a little daunted to have been appointed editor (pre-1707) of the Scottish Historical Review. Really looking forward to getting stuck in, and helping ensure that SHR continues to showcase the very best research in the field of Scottish history.

Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night.
Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

An alternative view on Keir Starmer - different from the daily torrent of bile poured over his head. Worth 2 minutes of your time.
Jack Dart@JackWDart
The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

@dineen20dineen I didn’t realize he wore such colourful clothes. When there were just 2 channels, you just watched what was on. We didn’t really tune in to Val, but he was on and we watched him.

If you want to know what Nelson thought of Muslims, you may want to factor in Nelson's column. See that thing on his hat? It is a 'chelengk'. Nelson was the first non-Muslim to be awarded one - as thanks for his victory in the Battle of the Nile. It was gifted to him by Sultan Selim III, who was literally the Caliph at the time. Nelson was so proud of it, as well as wearing it on his hat, he added it to his coat of arms. It is now the literal highest point of Nelson's column - a gift from the leader of the Muslim world to a devout Christian.
