What a brilliant bookshelf
1/3. Quiz question from the new book on England I’ve written with @mds49 -it suggests our Establishment has a problem. Out of 57 PMs in the history of this country, who was the only one to study for a degree from an English university, but went neither to Oxford nor Cambridge?
We need not only radically different policies, but a different way of thinking about economic policy itself. We need to reindustrialise Britain. My column today is on the @ukonward report I've co-authored with @gavinantonyrice, endorsed by @michaelgove: telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
It was really good to talk to the two Matts about all things England this week.

Enjoyed talking to @katyballs for @spectator podcast on St George’s Day, Starmer’s patriotism & the new book I’ve written with @mds49: “England, Seven Myths That Changed a Country - and Howto Set Them Straight.” spectator.co.uk/podcast/can-st…
Great fun to be at @blackwelloxford today, talking England with some wonderful people and signing books.
Worth buying both - but definitely the England one.
Final plug (this week) for @aveek18 and my edited collection We asked a group of leading economists to consider Labour’s economic policy What do they believe? Will it work? And how could they make it better? smf.co.uk/publications/l…
📖 TOMORROW! Head over to @blackwelloxford at 11am to hear Marc Stears @mds49 and Tom Baldwin @TomBaldwin66’s take on seven key myths that distort our ideas of England and where the country is heading: eventbrite.co.uk/e/tom-baldwin-…
It was brilliant to talk to the Two Matts about England, Englishness, rows about flags and how politics struggles to capture the most wonderful aspects of our national life, along with @TomBaldwin66: open.spotify.com/episode/7Hy09L…
Our Director, @mds49, was delighted to co-chair the Strategic Partners meeting before the amazing @citizens_london Mayoral Assembly last night. Wonderful to see so many institutions, big and small, come together for the common good.
NEW EPISODE OF ‘THE TWO MATTS’ This week: we talk to @TomBaldwin66 and Marc Stears @mds49 about their timely new book on England and its myths. From @TheNewEuropean @BloomsburyBooks open.spotify.com/episode/7Hy09L…
Great FT longread on the weaknesses in delivering levelling up with comment from @racheljanetwolf & @ahawksbee. Features this killer chart showing that levelling up pots have not made up for cuts to council budgets over a decade on.ft.com/44e2Ffl
On publication day of the book @mds49 and I have written, this is the review we got from @mrJamesGraham, whose brilliant Dear England shows he knows this subject. "A deeply human, unpretentious and evocative new look at an old country." Buy it here: shorturl.at/coIN7
Total pleasure to interview @TomBaldwin66 and @mds49 about their new book. Listen here podfollow.com/cheerfulpodcast and buy it for a fascinating, inspiring read. 👇 waterstones.com/book/england/t…

This is undoubtedly true. Party members, a small and deeply unrepresentative group, should have no say in electing party leaders. But MPs were also found wanting in their "stage" of both Tory 2022 and Labour 2015 leadership elections.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Conservative Party members should be stripped of the ability to pick their leader when the Tories are in government, Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the 1922 committee, has said. Read more here ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/…
