My good friend the historian Andrew Roberts demolishes the criticisms of #WinstonChurchill made by Darryl Cooper on Tucker Carlson's show. It is vital that such egregious claims are challenged, before they become lodged as fact in the minds of the ignorant.

I am receiving a significant amount of correspondence from constituents expressing concern at the removal of the Winter Fuel Allowance. It will affect an estimated 75% of recipients in Middlesbrough & Thornaby East. I have made sure the Chancellor is aware of local concerns.

Cross bench peer Baroness Altmann will table a "fatal motion" to stop Labour's cuts on winter fuel payments for pensioners going through Although it's unlikely to succeed, I hope that it does I still can't understand why Labour is making these cuts as deep as they propose 🤷🏼‍♀️

In remembrance of times past. It was 40 years ago that my late husband Mike took this photograph of the De La Warr pavilion at Bexhill on Sea. Recently, I took the huge step to go back and build new memories of this 1936 Art Deco masterpiece, to sit alongside the old.

The Turbomotive loco, but this time as 46202 in BR lined black. Not so common view of the left hand side showing for forward turbine. Weaver Junction area in Late 1949. I also understand this was the first LMSR Pacific to have smoke deflectors? 📸Unknown

The main target of today’s expedition was this, however - an excavated Roman bathhouse in a corrugated iron bunker under the A1(M) near Welwyn. And this is a place with which I have a special connection… (thread)

Ah, I wondered why I seemed to have 2 identical photos of my cousins in the BHS Restaurant in Hanley in 1990, BUT THEY AREN'T IDENTICAL! It's like a Spot The Difference competition!

December 1945 was a good time for beer lovers to be in Manila. The war was over and the city was awash with Australian lager after U.S. Navy divers salvaged 1,000 cases from a sunken ship. Sailors could buy a case of 48 bottles for $1. #NationalBeerLoversDay

As I’m still in the prone position in a London hospital I’ve plucked this photograph I took at some point last year and wondered if anyone would like to guess when it was taken? It was Dorset downland with river running through it. And with that I wish everyone a restful night🌳

YstradHistory I find as I get older there are more things I wish I'd asked them. I remember Mum and Dad saying the same about their parents too!

Turns out, I can just walk to the nearest gas station and buy myself an ice cream when the weather’s nice. (I did this instead of going to the gym today.)

Just thought I had the most brilliant idea that instead of writing ‘the end’ or ‘fin’ when I finish my book I’d write it in danish. Until I remembered the danish word for the end is “slut” and perhaps that’s not the best thing to have on the last page 😂🤦‍♀️

Great 1982 Ascension Island image from social media - I never thought it possible to imagine a Victor seem small compared to another aircraft!
