Balance means recognising different viewpoints & taking them seriously. It does not mean treating them as all being of equal worth or validity.
Mind Flip is about exploring these common misconceptions, & how to avoid such pitfalls! 👉 amzn.to/3D5H1MO. #Students #Habits
On this day in 1945 #WinstonChurchill proclaimed the #SecondWorldWar in Europe was over. As time moves forward fewer living people now have memories of these momentous events. If you know people who have stories, I would love to hear them. #VEDay

Thank you to @ZDF for inviting me to discuss the role of the UK after the end of the #SecondWorldWar on their #HeuteJournal programme. Probably for the best they didn't ask me to do it in German!
Catch me from around 15 minutes in. zdf.de/play/magazine/heute-j…. #Twitterstorians

More insightful work from @MWPalen as he provides some historical reflections on trade wars and their left-wing critics, in light of our new Trump-induced economic nationalist order. newsweek.com/trump-us-china-… courtesy of @Newsweek. #Twitterstorians #Tariffs #TariffWar #TradeWar
Thoroughly enjoying my time in Shanghai so far. There has been a range of insightful discussions at the Global Thought Network Second Annual Symposium and a few tasty treats thrown in for good measure as I explored the city in the evening. #TravelsWithToye #Twitterstorians

It's #FlashbackFriday so I'm looking back on my visit to the @LBJLibrary in Austin, Texas in 2017. This Library houses 45 million pages of historical documents & 5000 hours of recordings from LBJ's political career, including 643 hours of phone conversations. #TravelsWithToye
Ahead of the release of 'Age of Hope' I was delighted to sit down with @MWPalen and discuss many of the key themes of the book. Please head to imperialglobalexeter.com/202… to read the interview in full. #Twitterstorians #Labour #LabourParty #Attlee
Highly recommend this podcast, featuring @UniofExeter historian @MWPalen. It places Trump's #tariffs & desire to annex #Canada into dialogue with the #GOP imperial protectionist politics of the 1890s & the 1890 McKinley Tariff, Trump's 'golden age'. historyasithappens.libsyn.co….
I've been very fortunate to visit some historic and beautiful locations in recent months. Is there a location you have visited recently that blew your historical socks off? #TravelsWithToye #Twitterstorians #History
Promises promises.
Political promises are more complex than many people think, and their very nature has changes considerably. In this book we explain how and why the change came about. amazon.co.uk/Age-Promises-El…. #Twitterstorians #Politics #Politicians
