Dear #HistoryWritersDay24 participants. X is a bumpy ride. Whilst some of our posts prove popular, others appear to need a torch to ever see them again. Please remember to include the above hashtag in your posts on Saturday October 5th. I will be regularly reposting on the day.

Good question. Am looking forward to reading the view of millionaire Daily Mail columnist Boris Johnson, who merely got donors to pay for his accommodation, holidays, wallpaper and takeaway meals.

New on Aviation Xtended 🎧 podcast - Pieter Johnson talks to former Royal Aeronautical Society CEO, Senior RAF Commander & Nimrod pilot ACM Sir Brian Burridge about his days as a Cold War sub-hunter #avgeek aviation-xtended.co.uk/ep-212-cold-wa…

As a nerdy engineer myself, this review makes me very happy 😁

Can the weather please make up its mind about whether we’re in autumn or not? I feel like I need three different outfits every day to cope with the temperature variations…

So in Belgium it’s better because everyone pays a ‘social insurance’ out of their salaries to pay for their healthcare? You mean like a sort of ‘national insurance’ then? Hmmm what an interesting idea...

Thank you, Sheila, for this marvellous review of Banshee by Lindsay Rumbold “Highly recommended to lovers of Cold War spy thrillers.” scskillman.com/2024/09/14/boo… #BookRecommendation #bookreviews #histfic

I get that he's no longer an MP but you'd think that these stories would at least mention the *£220,000* worth of gifts and freebies accepted by Boris Johnson over the same period, on top of the more than £6 million he received in political donations

I’d be very interested to understand why the #media in the #UK failed to undertake the type of scrutiny #Labour are under for #conservative gifts they received. How many “free” holidays did a former #conservative PM receive from interesting donors to the party. Kettle calling

I do get that because the Tories did something it doesn't justify Labour doing it but FFS, Johnson accepted a £24k for his wedding and a £15k Carribean holiday while PM, during a cost of living crisis.

After what has been an incredibly stressful few days (hence not much posting), my body has decided the best thing it could possibly do is develop tonsillitis 🙁 I never had tonsillitis until I was pregnant, and now it’s becoming an increasingly recurring event. Dammit.

Just wondering how much that trip to Italy would have cost… You know The one where Johnson stayed & partied at the mansion belonging to the son of a KGB agent who he then put in the Lords But no one bothered to find out This is GB News style journalism and we deserve better.
