2yrs after I finished my MA History at Goldsmiths, my research rights were bought and I was hired to work as historical consultant on this TV show. It's had BAFTA and International Emmy nominations. I got a book deal, too. Goldsmiths: "No point in MA History, let's fire everyone and delete it."

A serious democratic society simply cannot allow this. That's £72 million from just two men. (Both, until lately, based overseas). The average UK earner (full-time) would have to work for over 1,800 years to raise that much. It's a nuclear strike on any pretence at the equality of political power

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

The "stop the boats" movement is being driven by the type of English suburban racist who thinks that one black family living in their street is one too many. Yes, it really is as simple as that, and it has been for decades. There is no intellectual depth to this stuff. It is pure, distilled hate.

Find it so miserable how partisan football fans are online. Struggle to appreciate anything about teams other than their own. Of course you're not going to root for rival teams, but the utter refusal to acknowledge when someone's good - do you even like football?

An excellent blog. I’ve had many students who were only diagnosed while at university. It helped them figure out how to navigate the world as they are, instead of trying to force themselves into ways that led to profound harm. The positive effects of such self-knowledge was transformative.

Every year, I talk with my students about when you should and shouldn't debate. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, for sure, but no-one is entitled to their own facts. Debating a bad-faith actor who cannot be swayed by facts achieves nothing beyond legitimising their views...

Just got this national emergency alert about fire risk. Because of the extreme heat. Because of climate change. Of course it didn't make those connections, instead it told me to not use BBQs. We need a National Emergency Briefing on the climate crisis.

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. When she was Home Secretary I showed her round Drake Hall womens’s prison. There was a pregnant woman on a bed in the early stages of Labour and she asked the prison officers why she wasn’t handcuffed to the bed. That’s the kind of woman she was.

Well I think I've just definitively dated the arrival of the very first enslaved people from Africa to an English colony in the Caribbean - the exact day which launched a slave plantation system that would see 3.5m people trafficked in its wake. And it seems that 400 year anniversary is upon us.

There's an exceptionalist belief that the UK's immune to the worst political extremes. In reality, we were lucky not to get a fascist government in the 1930s. Now that the world's richest man supports our most extreme political party, we need more than luck. We need to get the money out of politics.
