Inspired by the story of Angel Meadow in Manchester for teaching Industrial living conditions for OCR B, I've done something similar for the East End of London in the 20th century using the amazing The Abyss of London by the aptly named Jack London. This story really helps build the East End world

What did Watson and Crick discover in 1953?”
“Rosalind Franklin’s notes!”
Now would be a good time to listen to my interview with the brilliant @matthewcobb.bsky.social about Franklin, Watson, Crick and the discovery of the double helix. geneticsunzipped.com/blog/2023/8/...

"The great dividers want you to think the problems in society are caused by migrants and refugees. They’re wrong. They’re caused by an economic system that protects the interests of the super-rich."

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Huge thanks to Educate for this feature on our @endsexisminschools.bsky.social History report, alongside @katemossewriter.bsky.social

‘Change is needed’. 💪🏻

This book is great for setting the scenes for each section of Viking Expansion. It can be quite tricky for students to get into the Vikings, as it’s so different from everything else they’ve studied; I think this will help. #historyteacher #GCSE I haven’t got to kings yet, which is where we struggle

Best album of the 80s.

Was in a pub just outside Cambridge (UK) and saw this on the wall. Reminded me of your drawings

Neat way of visualising extreme wealth…

Didcot is most avg town in England (pop. 32,186)

Mean net worth in England is about £305k per person.

If a millionaire came to live in Didcot, the mean worth would rise by 22p per person.

If Elon Musk arrived it would rise by £11.5 million

Very good article. I also feel sorry for people who have to read Biggar's rubbish in order to rebut it.

Proudly using the important ‘F’ word today on the ReTeach History podcast…fairness! Fascinating convo with @katemossewriter.bsky.social & @sashasmith.bsky.social @reteachuk.bsky.social focusing on the End Sexism in Schools History Report. So important to educate to counter toxic attitudes 🎧🙌🏻

The Intermediaries: A Weimar Story | Brandy Schillace The fascinating history of a daring team of sexologists who built the first trans clinic in the shadow of the Third Reich. Set in interwar Germany, The Intermediaries tells the forgotten story of the ...

I wrote the book INTERMEDIARIES and I say with certainty that #ICE is essentially equivalent to the German paramilitary Freikorps who ultimately gave rise to Nazi storm troops. This is shorthand but I’ve got the receipts in the research. brandyschillace.com/book/the-int...

The Prince Andrew scandal is not just about Andrew. It is about the archaic institution - the UK Royal Family - which is not some irrelevant body but a core part of the unreformed British state. And Andrew has not given up his titles; he is just choosing not to use them.

The royal houses of Europe cost from £10-40million per year to run, the Netherlands being the most expensive at £40M. The British royals cost (when all sources are added) £500M per year. Why? #monarchy #downwiththecrown
