The inspiration for one of my favourite childhood novels was rescued on #ThisDayInHistory in 1709. Scottish sailor #AlexanderSelkirk spent more than four years living alone on an island in the #SouthPacific. His ordeal inspired #RobinsonCrusoe by #DanielDefoe, published in 1719.

#ukpolitics It was assumed a year or two ago that #uklabour had become a highly disciplined party which had 'the shortest way with dissenters' - to quote #danieldefoe ! This view has been reinforced by books cataloguing the summary treatment of #jeremycorbyn and many others lesser known. However this is not easy to reconcile with the difficulties #uklabour has had in the #houseofcommons more recently and the series of changes to government policy that have ensued.
