Actually, the book that made me think, ‘yes, this is the way to write history,’ was Finest Hour by @philmcraig and Tim Clayton. Absolutely brilliant - and an amazing BBC TV series too for that matter. Came out back in 1999, I think, but still very much in print.

@PSCupdates Stop The War marched to save Assad and do nothing about the crimes of the Iranian regime. Your own branch in Manchester praised the worst pogrom since 1945. Jihadists flock to your marches and openly scream their support for an ideology that has brought death to London before.

@primevideouk Would love to but I'm planning to clean the grouting in my bathroom, re-arrange all old LPs in the order of the Ukrainian alphabet (pre reformation) and then build a replica model of the Eiffel Tower out of string. #MUFC
