The Disruption of the British Party System explores what this shift means in practice. @electoralreform

What a fantastic evening at the beautiful @ThePortico celebrating the launch of Janet Wolff’s AngloGerman Manchester ✨
Janet entertained a sold out audience with a lively and insightful talk, exploring the lives of Germans in Manchester from the C19th to the present day.
The book brings to life some of the city’s most influential figures, from #FrederickEngels and Fanny Lewald to Rabbi Felix Carlebach, W. G. Sebald, #ElizabethGaskell, and Geraldine Jewsbury.
