Really pleased that my first Monograph was published by @routledgebooks.bsky.social last week. @bangorhistory.bsky.social #BangorPolitics

@ystadaucymru.bsky.social one for your graduates?

@archpbu.bsky.social contains such a wide collection. Not only a significant collection of Estates papers that underpin @ystadaucymru.bsky.social , but also this fascinating guide booklet to Munich during the 1930s... @bangorhistory.bsky.social

'Nefyn beef' was so central, it made the flag. Fascinating!

Really pleased my 2022 article on the Ilford North byelection has appeared alongside some excellent scholarship on UK parliamentary byelctions in @parlhistjournal.bsky.social #BangorPolitics

Showoff :P

If you teach on undergraduate history courses, please spread the word. Small sums can often make a huge difference.

Really enjoyed writing this reflection on the Ilford North contest, which has been considered an important 'stepping-stone' to the 1979 victory. I argue here that the by-election was simply a return to the Conservative column of a formerly safe seat. Read more here:

Caerphilly Castle

What the #Caerphilly byelection could reveal about #Reform, #Labour and Wales’ political future – read the latest blog post by WISERD co-director, Robin Mann and @marccollinson.bsky.social from @bangoruniversity.bsky.social on @uk.theconversation.com: bit.ly/4otCRVg @bangorhistory.bsky.social

There's no pretending that Reform didn't do well - look how steep that line is! BUT the fact it didn't *win* is still important because it impacts on the media's "unstoppable momentum" narrative. Think back to Runcorn and Helsby, when it did beat Labour, albeit by just six votes. A different story.

What is the Senedd by-election in Caerphilly and who can vote? On 23 October Caerphilly will decide who will be their MS for the next six months.

Voters in Caerphilly are heading to polls today for only the 5th (& most likely final before Senedd reform) by-election for a Senedd constituency since 1999.

Given the media interest, it’ll be intriguing
to see whether turnout is above the previous by-election record of
