Trying to find the first Easter Sunday at Downing Street, but it's tough. Almost every early PM had a bigger house in London that they liked better, and the few that did not tended to stay in their country estates during Easter, usually returning to London on Monday. I tried! #ukhistory #easter

Happy Passover! I really don't want to believe that Keir Starmer was the first PM to celebrate a Passover Seder in 10 Downing St., but I also have been unable to find any mentions of anyone else.

Do you know of any earlier seders? (Probably not Disraeli.)

There's a fascinating story behind why the financial year in the UK ends on 5th April...

England was last conquered in 1066. The story of that famous battle needs an update | CNN The tragic tale of Harold, the king who lost England to William the Conqueror in an infamous battle, still looms large in British popular culture. But that tale may need a reset, according to new rese...

“Historians had previously thought that Harold and his men traveled from Yorkshire to London on foot. New research suggests they made the journey by ship.” - Katie Hunt, via @cnn.com #uk #ukhistory #anglosaxons #kingharold

Lord North Pt1 will be in your feeds in a couple of hours! We are excited to finally bring the story of this "boring" but immensely important Prime Minister to your ears. ("William Legge!" - "Abram, shh.")

It's a great time to catch up on UK 1770, if you haven't already. bit.ly/3ZVEh0q #ukhistory

A cable car now runs between the mountains of La Bufa and Cerro del Grillo in Zacatecas. In 1844 William had to walk up (and down) which could be a hazardous journey. #historypodcast #mexicanhistory #travelhistory #ukhistory #victorianhistory

North1 is recorded! I hope we can get it to your feeds very soon!

Featuring Lord North's time as a "Scrub", his brief career as a child actor, and a hardening of his political ideals when he decides it is better to be "right" than "popular". Let's see how that works out for him.

Soon! #ukhistory

I made a map! When Lord North took the seals as British Prime Minister, this is how New England looked. Darker dots are larger settlements. In theory. #ukhistory #americanrevolution

Posting about Paul Marshall and GB News made me think about the origins of his religious convictions.

I feel a little dirty for even making this, but there is something to be said for short-form content reaching people more easily. Maybe I can get people interested in the full story? #ukhistory #history

#FamilyVoting #UKpolitics #UKhistory

I remember an old account of family voting as an accepted reality (not today's racist slur) in the Crossman diaries. He knew Labour had lost in 1955 because of the large number of working class women who had gone to vote while their husbands were out at work.

By 1770, Britain is a restless empire—troubled at home and on the cusp of change. We trace the story from Walpole’s "notorious corruption" to the spark in snowy Boston.
