I'm delighted to share with you all my new book publishing with @VikingBooksUK coming 10th September 2026.

REDWOOD was the MI6 codename for the unsung hero who exposed the KGB’s deepest secrets. Without REDWOOD, our world would be very different – and might not exist at all.

I was a bit sniffy about some of Carney’s new world order comments in Beijing recently, but his Davos speech is a ‘cometh the hour’ speech. And an important lesson for anyone that’s not the U.S. or China. Read the full transcript of Carney’s speech https://t.co/X66Muj4zq0

The stories contained in the open file are all to be found in my book #NoMoreChampagne: Churchill and His Money @HoZ_Books @picadorbooks . e.g. read what happened in 1942!
The second file takes the story on from 1949 to 1965 but it’s still closed!

@dablough I'd love someone to pay a visit to Kew and report on the contents of Churchill's Revenue file:

If you watch one thing today, make it this interview from last night in which the former head of M16 explains that Trump is a moron, that Europe must get hugely armed and fast because Russians are coming.

Thank you @militaryhistori. And grateful to #WinstonChurchill for leaving all his bank statements, bills, tax demands etc in his archive @ChuArchives. Unusual.

[Dr Peter Caddick-Adams #StandwithUkraine @militaryhistori]

At the 60th anniversary of his death, I have greatly enjoyed re-reading No More Champagne, the story of #WinstonChurchill and his money, by @dablough . I highly recommend it as abolutely essential in understanding the Great Man. You really should read it.
