Great book, and think @danielrachel.bsky.social recommended.
Never forgot how London was in the late 70’s and 80’s, with the rise of racism and the NF, and only the great work of the GLC and many others in the left transformed London into a more welcoming and diverse place.

Important article in the FT. The dog whistles of the racist far right need to be challenged and defeated.

Great article, but need our PM to stand up to Trump and all the other far right dog whistles. But he won’t.

Great to be up in London yesterday for the legends that are Kermode & Mayo, and ‘hello to Jason Isaac’s’ from the States. London isn’t over btw, absolutely packed on a Sunday evening, despite the dog whistles from the far right

One of the books of the year, and great to meet on of your journalistic heroes. The book is a very important book of our time, relating to all things autism and music. The Kraftwerk chapter is very emotional, @johnharris1969.bsky.social

Great episode, where Martin Lewis is doing the job that the government is failing to do. Calling out the regulators and private monopolies that are ripping us off daily. Why isn’t Rachel Reeves doing this? @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com

Raúl Prebisch? Just reading about him in, and don’t teach it for AQA, but have heard of his theory, but do teach it as a bit of an extension, so, if it is him, will be good to get a full story.
Although, the chapter in this book is outstanding, as is the whole book
