Toby Young just can’t understand why his & his right wing chums’ well-aired arguments against Project Spire aren’t cutting through. Has it ever occurred to him that Christians aren’t necessarily convinced that others’ institutional sins justify their own?

It took a lot: the threat of an IPSO investigation, insults and rank hypocrisy from Michael Gove, refusal to publish a right to reply & a last minute excision without consultation, but at last I got The Spectator to publish a counter to its propaganda war against Project Spire.

Solidarity with colleagues at the University of Exeter (and at Sussex, Hertfordshire, Northumbria, and other universities facing compulsory redundancies). This is terrible news, which may affect History and English in particular, arguably the two most important disciplines we have. #UCU #Exeter

For further details of 100+ UK subject societies in history, please see our new resource bit.ly/43xhXw6 All are membership groups, offering support for historians from a wide range of backgrounds. If you seek fellow researchers in your field, we hope this guide proves useful #Skystorians.

Guide to UK history societies and networks, with text: "The Royal Historical Society works closely with a number of other UK and Irish societies dedicated to the study, communication and promotion of historical knowledge and understanding. Once a year, the Society hosts a half-day meeting of heads of UK history societies to discuss subjects of shared interest, such as publishing, membership and advocacy for the discipline. The Society also holds regular online meetings with its equivalent national organisations worldwide."
