@yadananana I did a count - 50,500 on the hīkoi went past the end of lambton quay. Not including people at parliament, cenotaph, etc. Or those linking the streets.

Our latest blogpost is about an exhibition of Sakubei Yamamoto's mining art, currently touring the UK. What enables miners to create art? https://t.co/LZ79rMlRCB

[NCB1947 @ncb1947]

Earlier this year we had a workshop with Japanese scholars of mining that started in Sheffield University and finished at the Durham Miners' Gala. https://t.co/Vfxpb8inFW

@Barnspaul31 That's a great plan!

How have local shops supported strikes? What does that tell us about retail and community? Our latest blogpost is a report on the CHORD conference earlier this year. https://t.co/9BwBXETP0x

Feeling pretty emotional watching MPs vote for the Abortion Bill. It's been such a long fight.

The shipyard protesters and Irish language campaigners are now standing together. Shipyard workers even chanting in Irish now.. #scenes today at Stormont, busiest it’s been in a long, long time...

A lovely question from one of the history students at Papatoetoe High School this morning:

"We're all historians here. What tips or advice would you give us younger ones?'

One of deindustrialization’s effects is rendering remaining industrial workers and their struggles invisible or anachronistic. That’s encapsulated in a metropolitan journalist sneering at the campaign to save a 163 year old railway works, a source of secure jobs in Glasgow.

The predecessor unions that make up today’s @FIRST_Union (NDU) stood with Ngāti Whatua at Bastion Point. They do so today with @protectihumatao.
