Very excited to share that my first peer reviewed journal article is out now in @TCBHJournal! It centres on Mass-Observation and vernacular politics at the 1945 General Election academic.oup.com/tcbh/advanc…

I have just published an academic article in @IJPCS !🎉
I present Raymond Aron's exile in London during WW2, when he exposed collaboration in real time.
What's new: Aron likely inspired Jean-Paul Sartre's famous article "What is a Collaborator?" ⬇️

It was fantastic to attend the final @NYCTC_History conference last weekend, hosted by @JesusCollegeCam .
The group has been an extremely important part of my PhD experience, and I would like to thank everyone at @Columbia, @nyuniversity and @Cambridge_Uni for all their work!

"A new Great Reform Bill needs to be based around a clear principle – there should be no representation without taxation, and all those who pay tax should have a say in how we are governed."

Reeves tells Treasury: "I will judge my time in office a success if I know that, at the end of it, there are working-class kids from ordinary backgrounds living richer lives, their horizons expanded, and their potential realised."

#OTD 1945. General Election.
Britain heads to the polls nationally for the first time in a decade - as Attlee starts knocking up the vote in Limehouse 🗳️
But the country would have to wait three weeks for the result 👇🏼
Amazing to see Chelsea and Fulham turn red today, as it did in 1945. In this blogpost I draw on reports of Labour Party meetings in Fulham in 1945 to reflect on some of the resonances between Labour’s platform then, inflected with classed experience, and now.

There is much about the 1945 election campaign that resonates today. As voters across Britain go to the polls, @relgoldsmith traces the politics of class-based experience and feeling, an important but overlooked line of continuity between then and now 👇

This Thursday, the country faces a choice.
Five more years of chaos with the Tories, or turning the page and rebuilding Britain with my changed Labour Party.
Change will only happen if you vote for it.

Highly recommend the Roger Mayne Youth exhibition now on at the Courtauld (especially fellow fans of @stephenjbrooke’s piece ‘Revisiting Southam Street). Wonderful combination of family and street life, something for everyone

NEW PODCAST! Over the next two weeks, I'll be joining David Runciman on @PPFIdeas to explore six historic elections.
Episode 1 is on 1906: the last Liberal landslide, in defence of "the People's Bread"; an election that closed one era & launched another.

Residents across Croydon South, this could be the reality on July 5th.
But only if people who don’t want 5 more years of a Conservative government get out and vote for it.
Vote for change on July 4th. Vote Labour.
