Hello, I've been quietly working on this and now I'm made up to share that I've signed a contract with @Palgrave to publish my first book: UNPOSSIBLE HISTORY IN EARLY MODERN ENGLAND. As a working-class wool from Merseyside, this is a big deal for me & I'm dead chuffed – cheers!

Great reviews on the new USMCA. Thank you! Mexico and Canada will be wonderful partners in Trade (and more) long into the future.
