The Christmas break. It’s the perfect time to lie on the sofa, toss chocolates into your mouth, and read a good book. With that in mind, I’ve listed the best books I read in 2024, featuring Alwyn Turner, Richard Johnson, Kit Kowol, Iain Dale and more. sinceattleeandchurchill.com/p/my-2024-chri…

My first foray into politics down under! I discuss the growing australianization of British (and especially Conservative) politics.

My RUSI Trench Gascoigne essay is 15 years old this month! In it, I argued that: - Russia was already re-emerging as the UK’s principal strategic threat, and that this would intensity further - US interest in European security was on the wane (making #1 worse) …and… 1/2

On 11th December, at 10.00 am CET, Kit Kowol Kit Kowol will be our guest at UPS_Politics&Government he will present his recent book, with the title Blue Jerusalem: British Conservatism and the Second World War To participate, register and link at: ripg.uni-nke.hu/hirek/2024/12/…

I feel like people will be liking and retweeting this for entirely opposed reasons. You can guess what mine are.

Some superbly nerdy recommendations here. Mine include the beautiful and funny Grow Where They Fall by Michael Donkor and how Conservatism won the war - otherwise known as Blue Jerusalem by Kit Kowol

Had a great chat on the New Books Network podcast about Blue Jerusalem talking everything 1945 General Election, appeasement, Lord Beaverbrook, conservative realism, liberal militarism and why WWII was as much the “Tories War” as the “People’s War” podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/new…

Another flurry of Chagos incredulity on here, yet with some from the left asking ‘does anyone really care?’ or ‘will it actually cut through outside Twitter?’ Well - irrespective of whether it cuts through off Twitter - here are a few left-leaning problems with the deal. 🧵

What if Britain's Second World War was not a People's War but rather a Conservative War? This is the radical thesis of Kit Kowol's debut book, which I reviewed for the Washington Examiner.

Fantastic to see this wonderful review of my book by Yuan Yi Zhu ! So glad that you liked it!

I knew there were several brands of distinctively British computers in the early 80s but I hadn't realised until today that there was also a Welsh computer

Another great article Alexandra Wilson. Here’s another model for you the Ramsay Centre for Western Civilisation which operates within a number of leading universities in Australia. It can be done and is massively popular when it is! hass.uq.edu.au/about-cwc

Labour in the 1940s were the party of policy dynamism and the Conservatives... not. Right? Kit Kowol's fascinating 'Blue Jerusalem' shows otherwise. To complement our read of it, we've made S.J.D Green's 'The 1944 Education Act' free to read 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… #History

80 years ago a bus strike meant many people had to walk to central London for #VEDay. A potent marker of how Churchill had fought a Tory War but the peace would belong to Labour. Read more in my book: global.oup.com/academic/produ…

My book, "How to Survive a Hostile World: Power, Politics and The Case for Realism" will be published in October by Stanford Press. Defending the tradition in a time of war, climate crisis & economic dislocation. The link is now up: sup.org/books/politics…

Good to see Kit Kowol reviewed in the LRB lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v47/…

Really excited to hear how it sounds. Was SUCH a fun chat.

The Tory Party at War -WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk : I talk to Kit Kowol about the politics of the Conservative Party during the Second World War, a truly fascinating rabbit hole podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/we-…
