NEW HISTORY BLOG POST

Paul O'Donnell, one of our UoP Naval History MA students, looks at the end of shipbuilding on the Thames in 1912, ironically at the heart of a naval arms race.

@redhistorian I think a concept of functionality might be better than relevance. I’m struggling to think of anything in Parliament in the ten years between the Iraq and Syria votes (tuition fees?) to match the events of a quiet week in 2018-19. It was melodrama but it was still relevant

@LabourNorth Congratulations Joe!

@TheDreadShips Tirpitz underestimated Britain’s willingness to push the fiscal envelope to maintain naval supremacy. That extended across political parties; see Lloyd George’s Limehouse speech for Lib support

@TheDreadShips Queen Anne’s Mansion block on a flat top. Someone at the Admiralty in the 30’s was definitely planning this

@pinstripedline Casablanca. Is this up for debate?

@lewis_baston Churchill’s seat boundary changed out if all recognition but the Woodford bit has been Tory for ever. Might change this time mind…
