I'm very excited to announce that my new book SUM OF US: A History of the UK in Data will be published this April by Bridge Street Press @LittleBrownUK
I had a lot of fun writing it and I can't wait to hear people’s reaction to the more surprising elements of this history!

I’m so upset by this graffiti attack on my grandfather’s library. Alfred Wiener had a PhD in Islamic studies and cared deeply about Arab people. To see his Holocaust archive vandalised in this way suggests an attack on Jews not a critique of Israel. It’s dismaying.
