Exciting (for me) news. I'm writing a follow-up to #TheDecadeInTory
The book covers the fall of Johnson, drive-by prime minister Liz Truss, and the rise to power of Rishi Sunak from the Inbetweeners
The book is crowdfunded, and will be delivered to the publisher in June next year. Pre-ordering it now means your name goes in the book, plus options for a signed copy and whatnot.

Hope you'll back it! Thanks everyone

Even within austerity, Chancellor has choices: smooth curve of cuts and gradual debt reduction VS front-loading pain, to give Sunak room for a faux-mini-recovery and ‘giveaways’ before next election. Hunt plans to do the wrong thing *and in the wrong way*.
Austerity kills people. Last decade of cuts resulted in 335,000 excess deaths. Causing unnecessary misery to improve a PM’s election prospects is profoundly wicked.
Recent evidence has shown people across the UK are dying younger as a result of austerity, with people living in the poorest areas hardest hit. A new study published today now quantifies the scale of these deaths.
Hello #hcommons! A brief #introduction.
I'm Ariela, and I'm a graduate student at the Institute of Fine Art at New York University studying #medieval and #Renaissance #art history. Part of #medievodons, #bookhistodons, and #histodons. I'm currently working on the performative uses of crucifixes with moving limbs as props in Passion Plays in #Italy. I'm also interested in questions of premodern race (#RaceB4Race) and cultural difference with respect to these performances.
Mostly posting about medieval nonsense, art history, disability justice, and my dog (named #Dante). Occasionally posting my Halloween costumes.
