A Labour government will put our railways back in public hands during its first term. With Great British Railways, we'll take back control of the tracks as contracts run out. A publicly owned, passenger-focused network, delivering better services and more value for taxpayers 🇬🇧

Of course it was really bad for you! As a schoolboy in Edinburgh in the 1960’s, I dreaded being harangued by the games master into meeting a cross with “the heid”: if that leather ball was wet, it was incredibly heavy…

In c.1977 I saw “Macbeth” in here. A summer’s evening: storm-clouds gathered until, through the whole final act, lightning was flashing all around the battlements. The cast didn’t just keep the show going, they positively exulted. Unforgettable. #shakespearesbirthday

Sounds scary to people from two-party systems. But Germany isn’t one. 57% of this cohort support explicitly pro-EU, pro-NATO parties who can (and do) work together at every level - but won’t enter a coalition with the AfD. So it don’t mean a hell of beans.

Parties would win all the electors in a state by relative majority & win the entire election with a majority of electors in an electoral college.🧵
For this week's edition of our #MonumentMonday newsletter with @AbartaGuides, we travel to County Fermanagh to visit the opulent residence of the Earls of Belmore, Castle Coole.
@jameshawes2 @maischberger Similar drop in Brandenburg... but not Saxony. Seems like drop in energy prices, inflation might be swaying people on the fence. And those Saxons... they're a bit special.
@jameshawes2 No. I just give them away too quickly! The last one was to a waiter at a hotel I was in on tour. I was reading it at breakfast and he said it looked interesting so I gave it to him.
@ianbremmer Divisions pre date the Cold War by centuries ...read @jameshawes2
Clearly it's bosses have calculated Labour is going to win so it's safe to hold the old regime to account - seven years too late and long after the moment when speaking out might have made a difference
@Fremenjeff It'll be published when it's finished! And I devoutly hope that will be this year.
@jameshawes2 As someone who is looking after an off-school 5-year-old, I can completely forgive you…
Why does someone's use of the word "discourse" almost invariably indicate that what follows is a lot of bollocks?
@BarryHavenhand @militaryhistori @jameshawes2 makes some very interesting points on the legacy of Prussia in this regard.
New year, new country, new brief. Freue mich sehr auf den neuen @DIEZEIT -Posten in London. See you!
@RishiSunak What an unpleasant, unkind message.
@robfordmancs I don't think that is such a risk for Farage. Going back to politics ups his profile and that helps him when he returns to the right-wing media.
This map on the population of Europe in 1789 is part of the answer. France was the demographic superpower throughout most of European history. And when it stopped being the superpower in the 19th century... well we all know what happened after
The fact that the French revolution managed to survive this absolutely desperate situation in 1793 (amid insane political turmoil) will never cease to amaze me
@jameshawes2 @sundaytimes This wisdom is the politico-historical equivalent of the dance of the bees. So illuminating.
@PolProfSteve It’s a shame it’s a really badly written book, too.
@jameshawes2 The other option is; don't brake, keep goin'.
@jameshawes2 @cobmfl I got the joke too. Funny how Donegal is often called the "South" when the most northerly part of the island, Malin Head,is in Donegal.
@jameshawes2 Should have rented a white Merc with fins!
@wagonwheelie @jameshawes2 @monstroso I wonder are they on the minis sold in Germany?
