Hi Nan, I would like to invite you onto a discussion panel about the women's contribution to the 1924 Labour government. We are the History & Policy Trade Union Forum at the IHR and hope to hold it in mid to late October. More if available. jim moher
@mikeclancy1@ProspectUnion Well done Mike. It’s an outlet for all the bile around. Great to see Prospect stepping forward as the voice of modern union and social leadership. Keep it up. Jim Moher former CWU national officer and author of a biography of the forgotten giant of trade unionism - Walter Citrine
@philipvmurphy just to thank you ( and Gemma) for all your help at the Trade Union Forum and my own endeavours/launches in 2022. Best wishes for next year. Jim
Exclusive: Labour must make “wider argument” about economy, Cruddas says – via @LabourList https://t.co/UkTHSsgIeY impressed by Jon Cruddas since I worked with him as union official in the 1990s. Sorry he is stepping down as MP, but expect him to remain a thoughtful voice.
@Alastair_J_Reid What amazes me, as a humble graduate of an Irish college (UCC), is that I thought us first generation university scholars, were the elite! No wonder I took to ‘revolution’. Jim
@LenMcCluskey@DanCardenMP@SheilaColeman96 Hi Len, congrats and pleased to see your city figures highly. For a comparable though very different Merseyside union character, see my Walter Citrine biography, ‘Forgotten Statesman of the TUC. Jim
Citrine's good-humoured response, 'I really cannot recognise myself at times' and 'some of her judgements as to my state of mind are rather fallacious': Biography of 'Walter Citrine, Forgotten Statesman of the Trades Union Congress' (2021, JGM Books) by Dr Jim Moher ( pp.88-91).
@EnglishRadical Another greatly neglected Labour and national figure. Treated badly by Lloyd George and Ramsay MacDonald. Yet he did more than either for Liberal and Labour visions of society.
