At moments of crisis, leaders have a responsibility to speak to, and for, their country.
The PM should be on the airwaves, telling the stories of the children, teenagers and families who have been burned out of their homes; naming those responsible; and leading a national fightback against them.
Very Cool Job
Delighted to see this article out! I look at how the elderly used urban space, and the important role of mobility in old age in early modern Italy.
From a friend in Belfast.
Still time to register for our event on Thursday (in-person & virtual) on lessons on ageing from the early modern world.

We need leaders who can spell out what's happening clearly and with force.
We have a rare and exciting opportunity to join our team as Director of Churchill Archives Centre at Churchill College. Application deadline is 9am on 29th June 2026.
Please share this with people you think would be interested.
Discovering that I can respond to emails on Outlook with a 👍 emoji might be the best thing that’s happened to me in 2026. (I know, I’m always late to the 🎉 )
Thoughts on trade books sending the reader to a website for footnote references? Do we like/not like/don’t care?
