If you want a lunchtime read, check out the @MuseumofCamb latest blog ‘Crown vs Gown: The 1847 Chancellorship Election’. You can imagine the look of shock on the candidate’s face when he realised his opponent was Prince Albert 🫣

Would a left-wing centrist media as powerful as the hard rights' help progressive politics in the UK, or, do you think we would descend into a worse situation with our political culture?

15th July (1845) Election news!
'Kelly was elected by a majority of 17 it was a very sharp contest and he paid very dear for it for they say the last 40 that voted for him cost him one thousand pounds'

In today's money, that's approximately £60,417!

“Defiance is our only remedy...”

‘The Poor Man’s Guardian’, a radical weekly, was first published #OnThisDay 1831. Sold for 1 penny, the paper defied the stamp duty of 4p per copy. Over 500 sellers of the paper, as well as its publisher, were imprisoned for distributing it.

A huge congratulations to Skippy and @England on winning the #U21EURO Championship! 🦁🏆

“Everyone - rich and poor, man, woman or child - can use it or any part of it.”

The National Health Service, part of a programme of legislation enacted by the 1945-50 Labour government, was launched #OnThisDay 1948.

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK Realistically, what will be done with utility companies and their pathetic last minute "sorry", followed by a hike in prices?
