'It is more likely that MI5 was interested in the activities of figures within the New Left and was considering reactivating Cornwell as an informant.'

@philipjcowley Most commonly stolen book from my shelves over my career: a great read - way more complex than the summaries suggest

[Mark Wickham-Jones @WickhamJones]

@johnlister @tomholland28 @Savanta_UK I’m not sure that’s quite right - check out 1937 legislation. My memory is that the Speaker has some discretion - after all Labour held onto the Leader of the Opposition in 1940. If it had gone to the largest party not in government, it should have gone to the ILP (who wanted it)

[Professor Keith Gildart @ProfGildart]

Just heard Lewis Minkin has passed. Another great scholar of Labour politics. Great work on the party and the unions. His book on New Labour and Blair still on my reading pile.

I'm wrong: 7 June will take her past Brown's tenure... by about ten days or so

[Mark Wickham-Jones @WickhamJones]

Gordon Brown wins! By my reckoning, He lasted in 10 Downing Street about four days longer than Theresa May...

[Mark Wickham-Jones @WickhamJones]

A designation presumably coming down in the next day or so

[Mark Wickham-Jones @WickhamJones]

@tommorton @WarProf I think so!!

[Mark Wickham-Jones @WickhamJones]

@WarProf @tommorton Obviously I would have done this - well, once it had been cleared by the ethics committee, once finance had authorised the funds and provided it didn’t clash with anything else scheduled that week - so you’d prob have a bit of time to check out your new hosts....

Dramatic makeover, Jacobin-inspired, for Tribune - long way from 1937....

[Mark Wickham-Jones @WickhamJones]

Doubting imminent realignment, V. O Key sent a map for his book Southern Politics to Pendleton Herring in 1948, noting Macon County, Tennessee (top, middle). Key was right: apparently, Macon has only voted Democrat in one presidential election since (Clinton-Gore in 1992).
