A very British medical scandal in the 1960s and 1970s, hiding in plain sight.
This is the chilling exposé of Dr Sargant's bizarre psychiatric treatment on his female patients without their consent.

I'm very excited to announce that my new book SUM OF US: A History of the UK in Data will be published this April by Bridge Street Press @LittleBrownUK
I had a lot of fun writing it and I can't wait to hear people’s reaction to the more surprising elements of this history!

As the granddaughter of two men who fought for Britain
As the daughter of a man who helped re build Britain
As someone who served her country at the top table in government
And as the mother of a child who once again, in uniform, defends Britain
I refuse to accept that Britain may no longer be a welcoming and inclusive place for my grandchildren
My new book
“Muslims Don’t Matter” is a personal plea for us to all unite to fight this dangerous and rising form of racism #Islamophobia
Out soon - you can preorder here geni.us/MuslimsDontMatter

I wrote about Zone of Interest (an excellent, very misunderstood film) as a kind of anti-holocaust cinema film, Gaza, and the dialectic of enlightenment for the @VersoBooks blog

Very much worth a listen, esp on the perils of statehood.

I’m so upset by this graffiti attack on my grandfather’s library. Alfred Wiener had a PhD in Islamic studies and cared deeply about Arab people. To see his Holocaust archive vandalised in this way suggests an attack on Jews not a critique of Israel. It’s dismaying.

Sad to head about Natalie Zemon Davis. Her book on Leo Africanus/Al-Hassan al-Wazzan is superb.
