It was a great pleasure to visit Brighton College yesterday to give this talk and to receive such a range of wonderful questions from students in the audience. Lovely to finally meet you, @ADBHist – thanks for the invite!
It was great to be visited by @SamBlaxland of @ucl yesterday, who gave a fascinating talk to our students about his research into the history of the Conservative Party in Wales and the lessons this might provide for the party today

Final call for @UCLAlumni, staff & others to share memories, stories, objects or archives for our book on #Student life in #London since 1826 @SamBlaxland. We’ve had an amazing response to date with new materials donated to @UCLSpecCol:
ucl.ac.uk
Generation UCL is a research and engagement project that explores two centuries of student life in London.

Coming to the end of the working week here in Australia and I've been more productive in the last five days than over the past couple of months in Cardiff/London combined. Working in a different time zone has its benefits. This Sydney winter weather is awful, though... 😎

It was a strange experience watching the election results roll in over the course of Friday morning here in Australia. Anyway – here's how some of the Aussie papers are covering events happening in the mother country

Thank you and @SamBlaxland for organising this - reflecting back on what a brilliant day it was. Really great to talk about all things elite interviewing
I had a great time hosting this event yesterday with @SamBlaxland - possibly our best conference yet (perhaps because I wasn't presenting...)

Such a good day – made better, indeed possible, by my pal and co-convenor @DrDavidJeffery. Thanks to everyone who came for their stimulating papers and discussions.

Tripped up @DrDavidJeffery on our pre-book launch morning run. This town's only big enough for one post-1945 Tory historian

This will be great. Sam’s work is key to moving beyond lazy tropes about Wales as somehow innately social democratic, or tories as English incomers. There has always been a local middle class & there has always been a strong Tory presence here. Get to it if you’re in Cardiff
Final call for my book launch tomorrow evening, with registration link ⤵️. Really looking forward to seeing some of you there!
