@HardcoreHistory Thanks for a great episode, Dan!
If anyone's looking for a podcast episode on Cheddar Man, I'd HIGHLY recommend this from Old Bones by @EarnshawAJD.

Amazing speech by @jonstewart. The repulicans really care about no one, not even #veterans. Progressives are the real patriots.

Some reasons for #optimism:
‘The best historical analogy…. not the… 1970s [stagflation] but the burst in consumer prices that [followed] the second world war. The downturn that brought that inflation to an end was shallow and left few scars.’

Didn’t they lose an election two years later? Solidarity is important, but the big battle is the #GeneralElection. We need an electorally successful progressive movement. Voters hate strikes but love public services. We need an opposition that understands that.
Shirley Williams, Denis Howell and Fred Mulley, all ministers in the then Labour government, on the picket line at Grunwicks in 1977. If Starmer had been Labour leader then, no doubt, he would have sacked them. #SolidarityRMT
Once #inflation2022 has passed. Is it worthwhile increasing the inflation target of the @bankofengland to 3%?
Real term debt would reduce faster and interest rates would remain higher, increasing our monetary resilience.
Torn between the near guaranteed electoral failure of @trussliz and the certain economic catastrophe of @trussliz. Then again, I do love her on Deadringers…
Among his many achievments, #ShinzoAbe demonstrated every day that #ulcerativecolitis should not prevent anyone reaching the top of their field. He was, and is, an inspiration to people like myself.
It’s a good thing @BorisJohnson that’s he’s got such a big majority. By the end of the week they’ll have all joined and then quit his government. Maybe he’s trying to give everyone a go before he finally resigns?
After these local elections, I'm more certain than ever that Keir Starmer's destiny is to be the next Neil Kinnock or John Smith. My biggest worry is that I do not see who the next Tony Blair or Gordon Brown will be...
It's been 4 weeks today since the ZEZ (Zero Emission Zone) was launched in Oxford. At the moment it's only on streets where cars are (mostly) banned. If it gets approved, this is the massive area it will cover. You will have to pay £10 a day to drive down these streets 👇
