These are not controversial subjects or contested, they're just not true. 🔥

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

The BBC is a publicly funded service. Its archive should be open to anyone and researchers should not be beholden to the bbc to choose what we see. And not on only 2 days a week either.

100 Women's Rights Organisations, including @rapecrisis.bsky.social, @refugecharity.bsky.social, & @evawuk.bsky.social have signed a letter warning that attempts to link rape & violence against women & girls to immigration is a racist distraction. They urge the govt to address dangerous narrative

And come talk to me if you have an idea for MUP Gender in History series

Hello Social History friends! Come say hello at our stand. Unfortunately not all of our books arrived, but you can find a full list of new titles below. @socialhistsoc.bsky.social @manchesterup.bsky.social

So true but post Covid cuts and closures make research harder especially for people needing to travel to an archive.

Looks fab but the book is crying out for a beautiful cover!

There's no doubt that editors for academic publishing need more help and support to keep things going. But my god, this isn't it. I've published in a number of OUP outlets. This would force me to reconsider. I suspect other #SkyStorians will, too.

We'd love to see some #skystorians at this virtual book launch & discussion of some of the very newest work in #histchild #histyouth #histsex! Do register below, and we'd really appreciate shares/RTs 🗃

This was a fun gig with the legend Jackie Bird

They nailed it

A potent call to arms by @iandunt.bsky.social “The central fact about Zelenskyy is this: He is very good at killing fascists. That is why they despise him. They recognise the ideological enemy when they see him.” We must stand with him as one. iandunt.substack.com/p/some-dispa...

I really couldnt believe what i was hearing here. The rudeness!! To a man whose country is fighting for its life. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...

This is one of the clearest descriptions of unfortunately a very familiar situation that many of us have faced. Solidarity with Cardiff colleagues.

🇺🇦🇬🇧UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has spoken to Zelenskyy this evening, to express his support as "Ukraine's democratically elected leader." Starmer said it is "perfectly reasonable to suspend elections during war time as the UK did" during World War Two.

More good things in Glasgow…

I may have had a glass of wine but this made me pretty emotional

Hard-hitting and reflective piece. It would be a public service to higher education in the UK and internationally if @timeshighered.bsky.social made it free to read, even if only for 24 hours. Kudos to the authors: Anonymous, Martin Mills (Aberdeen), Nick Megoran (Newcastle) & Les Back (Glasgow).
