The year: 2064. Rishi Sunak, 85 years old in his retirement home, carted off for bath time: I'M DELIVERING FOR THE BRITISH PEOPLE! he yells, as the nurse scrubs behind his ears. WE'VE TURNED A CORNER, he screams, as an injection of sedative is administered in the buttocks.

‘So we still hold West Midlands.’

Israel has broken SIXTY TWO United Nations Resolutions with absolutely no consequences.

Iraq broke two and got invaded and destroyed by the United States for 8 years.

We need to cut Oxford University Press headquarters off from food and water.

Laughed. Someone laughed at a dead child. This is what we are facing. This isn’t about ‘the middle east’: this is about humanity. Vast swathes of our fellow humans have lost theirs. Your brother, your neighbour, your colleague, your peers: many of them would now shrug or laugh.

People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them.

This was one of the first books that made me interested in studying history at the turn of the millennium. An accessible year-by-year chronicle of (mostly) English history, for me it shows the importance of a variety of trade books in attracting future generations to our field.

Erm Shardlake is bloody good? Come for The Bean, stay for monastic and reformation intrigue. And this is from someone who avoids any dramatised Tudor on tv.

Just waiting for Biden to hold a special press conference about the danger to black students on campus. Any day now. Here it comes. You betchya…
