@leedavidevansuk.bsky.socialA splendid new episode from Richard Johnson & @leedavidevansuk.bsky.social. I especially enjoyed Richard's vituperation at the PM's support for electoral reform and Rejoinerism: "The liberal progressive parasitical worm has burrowed its way into Burnham's head"! open.spotify.com/episode/4t8t...
Show PostI hugely enjoyed joining Richard and Lee on their excellent podcast- do take a listen (and not just to my episode!)
Show PostI had a lovely time talking about Margaret Bondfield with @leedavidevansuk.bsky.social and Richard Johnson for the Since Attlee and Churchill Summer Book Club. You can get it from most of the usual outlets and we covered lots of aspects of her life and politics. Have a listen and enjoy!
Show PostMy mother, growing up in a pit village on Tyneside, got into politics aged 5, marching and chanting Vote, Vote, Vote For Maggie Bondfield. That memory and beliefs stayed with her for 80 years.
Show Post"Video, as the 1979 pop song had it, was supposed to have killed the radio star. It has not done so in Britain. Nor, more surprisingly, have podcasts or smartphones. Overall, the country listens to about as much radio as it did 20 years ago: around 1bn hours a week."
