Glad to do the “Marx and Engels in Camden” walking tour yesterday… Particularly good to stop at 122 Regent's Park Rd, Primrose Hill where Friedrich Engels & Lizzie Burns lived. My article on Lizzie & Mary Burns is available to read here (from page 57): https://t.co/iOP7BqoJTv

Justin McCarthy is buried in Hampstead Cemetery - where, almost approximately for the leader of the anti-Parnellites, his resting place carries a Brutus quote from Julius Caesar 👀 (“My heart doth joy that yet in all my life I found no man but he was true to me.”)

Nice treat to get back to 🤓–a copy of ‘The Shan Van Vocht’ by James Murphy that was once presented to the Irish Nationalist MP Justin McCarthy. The Shan Van Vocht (a phonetic rendering in English of An tSean bhean Bhocht/“The Poor Old Woman”) was the name of a song from 1798.

Thankyou @AmmarKazmi_ for summarising the discussion and resolution of this important issue. I’m glad common sense is prevailing - affirming broad inclusion, support for healthy pluralism, respectful discussion and openness to learning in #YourParty . Muslims are not uniquely

As thousands make their way home from Your Party’s conference, I want to say a huge thank you to all the workers and volunteers — cleaners, caterers, technicians and so many more — who made it possible. It’s people’s hard work, often unrecognised, that keeps things going!
