The Heartland Institute, a MAGA climate denial group, has been trying to influence UK and European politics with the help of Nigel Farage. We’ve mapped their key allies as they attempt to impose Trump’s agenda across the pond 👇🏻

We’re now up to 22 ex-Tory MPs joining reform. It’s not subtle - every day clearer this is just a rebranding of the nutty fringe of the Conservative Party offering to rerun the Truss/Johnson omnishambles

William was certainly very frustrated on arrival in the south west by how few turned out for him. He had been assured the people (most importantly, the magnates) would do so in droves. It took quite a while (understandably) for people to take the risk. It left him with hotheads like Lord Lovelace.

Great to hear Dr Helen Wilson talking about her recent PhD thesis on Black participation in British politics, 1750-1850 @ihr.bsky.social this evening. This was jointly supervised by Amanda Goodrich (Open University) and my colleague Robin Eagles @georgianlords.bsky.social @histparl.bsky.social.
