🎟️ Don't use @thetrainline 🛤️ Their model relies on hidden fees, deceptive ticket options, and overpriced fares – all designed to boost shareholder profits at the public’s expense. These are their major shareholders 🔽 Read @RMTunion's article. x.com/RMTunion/statu…

🚨New section alert!📷We have just published a brand new section of letters from Elizabeth Montagu to fellow Bluestocking, Hannah More! This edition of 23 letters spans fourteen years - a fascinating part of the letters covers Montagu and More's involvement with Ann Yearsley.

IMPORTANT PLS SHARE. It's rumoured the English £9,250 tuition fee cap may be raised this pm for the 1st time in 8yrs, as University's finances are strained. As student finance misunderstandings abound, I've bashed out a few notes to help... 1. Higher tuition fees WON'T change…

Sad to hear of the death of Dr Julian Litten - his work was an inspiration to me and helped to spark my passion for the history of the funeral trade. The English Way of Death was brilliant account of the changing approaches to death. Farewell from this death historian to another!

My son has lost his beloved soft toy of Mog the cat. We think Mog forgot to get off the train at East Dulwich this afternoon, and may have travelled all the way to London Bridge. (To be fair, this would be quite in character.) Bit of a long shot, but has anyone seen Mog?

Taking a break from PhD things for a lunchtime wander. Passed the Keelmen’s Hospital, built in 1701 for the keelmen and their families. It now sits on Historic England’s ‘Heritage at Risk’ register. It’s a building with loads of potential. I really hope it can be saved.

Spare a thought for Tony Hill who has been working at break neck speed in blazing hot sun to rebuild the Southport mosque wall before the far right can return. He said: “And if we have to build it again afterwards we will do just that.”
