New article! Diarmaid Kelliher @diarmaidkelliher.bsky.social on 'Thatcherism and the Picket Line' academic.oup.com/ehr/advance-...

New article in English Historical Review (@enghistrev.bsky.social) on 'Thatcherism & the Picket Line'. Looks at relationship between picketing & Conservatives esp. in 1980s, but also the legacy into the 1990s. Of relevance, I think, to upcoming Orgreave inquiry. academic.oup.com/ehr/advance-...
