How to Survive the Nuclear Age - What the Government will not tell you! This curious guide was published by the Ecology Party (now the Green Party) in 1980. As well as pieces on disarmament, it has a history of Civil Defence, excerpts from Home Office memos and a survival guide.

Chalk Figure Near Weymouth, Eric Ravilious, 1939. This equestrian figure was carved into Osmington Hill in 1808, near Weymouth in #Dorset to celebrate George III’s patronage of the seaside town. The original artwork is in the collection of @NatGalleryCan.
Permanent Special Event Station ‘GB1ROC’ back on the air. Listen out for us operating on the HF bands from inside the bunker very soon.
Memorialisation has always been an important, but very human thing. In the National Memorial Arboretum sits this small plaque. It deals with something which was hidden for years and remains unknown to many- and came about because a few were committed to remembering.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! (yes, another one!) It's been a long time coming, but I can now officially confirm that a second edition of Sideways Through Time is due to be published this year. #hawkwind 1/3
If you ever walk or camp on Roundhill in the New Forest, spare a thought for this man. His name is Milton Soward. 80 years ago today he was killed. 🧵

Over the weekend I'll be posting in more detail the very blunt briefings given by the Service Chiefs to the PM about poor morale in the military and hollowing out of stockpiles in the 1990s - some incredible documents available in the Archives.
Great Cold War MedEvac thread when we actually had plans. In this first week of the Soviet ground war I would've been tucked up in a mexe shelter or OP waiting for Russian follow on forces to appear.

Finally finished Detectorists. I’ve enjoyed lots of comedy series over the years but none have made my heart quite so full as this. Every second of it has been a huge, warm hug. This scene with Terry and Shiela absolutely killed me. A moment of simple joy and contentment. 😭
We're probably a week from "deport mentally ill people to Rwanda" as the policy in Tory Batshit Bingo.
You wouldn’t believe the extravagant luxuries I spend my PIP on: my half of the rent; food; the occasional taxi because I’m unable to drive. I’m for one glad our wonderful Prime Minister is bringing the long term disabled to book.
I didn't offer 'please stop, for the love of all that is decent'. But I am still taking this as a sign this is about right...onwards.
What would you like me to prioritise in future episodes?
We get a couple of free airport lounge passes with our pet sitting plan and I intend to take advantage of the gratis booze, to the extent I get poured onto the flight.
As someone who’s just had his PIP taken away from him for a third time by this rotten government, I kinda welcome this Tory jumping ship. I’m in no position to be a political purist - anything to be rid of this lot.

I don’t watch Eastenders but it was lovely to meet actor @antonycotton at the Celebrating Forces Families Awards. A good man and a huge advocate for the Armed Forces. I made it to the final of the Social Media Influencer Category but no-one had ever heard of me. Quite right.

The allegations of Russian malign activity in the UK are deeply concerning. Anyone found guilty of assisting a foreign intelligence service will be held to account. The UK will never be deterred from backing Ukraine by Russia’s futile attempts to shake our resolve.

My goodness - this is a brilliant thread that sums up everything I feel 👇
"mental illness used to be the ups and downs of life" No, mental illness used to be your mum taking to her bed for 20 years with what was euphemistically called "nerves".
Saw a tweet the other day talking about this terrifying book and I thought "Haha I wanna be terrified" and now I'm halfway into it and I am legit scared. Boy i am dumb. also kudos to the author, @AnnieJacobsen
I can’t get the idea out of my head that some people really believe other people don’t want to work & would sooner live in poverty. I’ve never met anyone that doesn’t want to work, only people who can’t work because of their dire situation of ill health & caring responsibilities.
Job Seekers allowance is £71.70 a week. #Sunak reckons that people out there are living lives of luxury on that. He spends £1500 on his shoes, £5000 on his suits, and £80,000 a week on his helicopter.
