Today @Nigel_Farage said he was mislead by Andrew Tate on the identity of the recent murder 1) A sitting MP should not rely on a famous vile misogynistic thug for their information 2) An MPs job is to fact check 3) No British MP should cosy up to Andrew Tate RT if you agree.

Please RT! We’re really proud to be tackling a new project @GreatWarGroup talking to people about Lions & Donkeys, putting this outdated appreciation into a modern context using studies of Douglas Haig, Britain’s Commander in Chief in #WW1 There will be talks, on & offline, a battlefield command tour at the end of 2025 & a new volume of research on Britain’s chief. We have nine excellent contributors/topics already but there is room for a handful more. Some unfinished areas at the moment are 1916, the opening of the spring offensives, personal aspects, Haig’s experiences of war prior to 1914 and post war/remembrance and legacy. Details/contacts below @historian1914 @TheWFA @ProfGSheffield @prior_robin @RMASandhurst @NorthWalesWFA @WFAPreston @wfa @warstudies_wlv @WarStudiesSoc @UofGWarstudies @WarStudiesHull @NAM_London @I_W_M @ArmyUniversity @ProfPeterDoyle @Taff_Gillingham @louise_provan

Am immense (exhausting) weekend at #WHWFest for my first ever #WW2 live gig. Thanks @James1940 & @almurray for having me, loved schooling victims for @GreatWarGroup in how you wouldn’t have a sequel if not for #WW1 & our night out with Dr Who. Think threatening to cock punch 400 people at once is a record for me, my one regret, after 20 years I STILL haven’t fulfilled my teenage dream of meeting @tinker_t 😂 @WW2TV @WW2girl1944 @kejamieson_ @hoyer_kat @FXMC1957 @s_jolley @moodyoe @likesmokenoakum @1418filmandy @louise_provan @SpitfireFilly @djdapperdan @annetysonbrown @Carolin22478581 @almurray @MatMcLachlan @DrHelenFry @historical_kate
