- First time @NCL_RedBulls to see Match with @USAPerpignan in European Challenge Cup. Current form suggests a close match on a beautiful crisp day.
- Someone asked me yesterday why I like walking. This is the answer! Helm Crag above Grasmere with a view to Easedale Tarn. It’s perfect on a day like today. 😻
- We’ve just made a Christmas donation to #Crisis www.crisis.org.uk/get-involved... Why not do the same?🎅
- The @LibDems won more council by election seats than any other party and secured the second highest vote share of any party. It really is a two horse race!

- You may have seen this before in the other place but I love this picture of EP Thompson with his cat circa 1980 🐈⬛
- Another book on the way is this volume of classic rock journalism. Includes Murray’s eviscerating review of an early Clash gig. Read it and smirk 😏
- Sorting books to sell. Got to this. Very reluctant to let it go even if I’ll never make use of it again! (Also it’s in good condition somehow 🧐)
- The pre-publication version of my paper Imaging a Health Service Without Hospitals: French West Africa between the wars is available to read on my Manchester webpage. research.manchester.ac.uk/en/publicati...
- I’m delighted to say that my 1st article on healthcare in West Africa has been published today in Historia Hospitalium. Thanks to Axel von Huntelmann & Fritz Dross for inviting me to take part in the SI. Afraid it isn’t OA but let me know if you’d like a copy www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

- Sorry to hear of the death of Menzies Campbell. An important figure in the growth of the @libdems.org.uk When I worked for the Scottish Lib Dems in 1991 I shared a desk with Elspeth and spoke to Ming a few times. www.bbc.com/news/article...

- In the real world the political battle is between Reform and the @libdems.org.uk This should be news but most outlets, including the #BBC give next to no coverage to the @libdems.org.uk Opinion polls are not real politics.
- Public service announcement 📣 There are great deals on London to Paris #eurostar tickets at the moment.
- Thanks @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social This is really important. If you are an author check to see if you were in the Lib Gen pirate library. Then stake a claim!
