I’m contractually obliged to welcome articles that put contemporary problems in historical perspective. But “we had to deal with the terrible legacy we inherited from the Normans” is buck passing on an epic scale.

Cheltenham certainly punches above its weight on the statues front. Here’s Neptune, a memorial to the South African War, Gustav Holst (who was born there) and ‘Edward VII: the Peacemaker’, poignantly unveiled in 1914.

📢Taking place tomorrow! Join us on the 13th May for ‘History Under Fire: The uses and abuses of historical evidence in conflict situations: the case of Ukraine’ chaired by Philip Murphy with Margaret MacMillan, Serhii Plokhy, Dr Allyson Edwards 🌻 & Christopher Finlay #FBPE 👉 shorturl.at/lxKSV

Wonderful to hear Steeleye Span play at Stratford Play House this evening. Absolute legends of course. 55 years on the road, but with an energy and artistry that made everything sound fresh. Athena Octavia on fiddle is a brilliant addition to an outstanding band.

In the light of the latest defection I hear rumours that the ‘Common Sense’ group of Tory MPs is largely composed of long-term Labour penetration agents, one of whom will cross over to the Opposition benches each time Sunak gets up to speak.

Glad to see my research w/ Dr Jenny Mathers @jgmaber.bsky.social on the Kremlin's securitisation of history & the youth's role in it has been published in The Conversation. Just in time for the Victory Day.
