When you board a bus for £1.75 to get from A to B and suddenly find yourself passing a 1000-year-old castle before crossing one of the most famous bridges in the world... I'll never not feel like a tourist in London 💂‍♂️🇬🇧

Olá from Lisbon where the commemorations of 25 Nov 1975 have begun. That day, the military crushed a far-left coup as part of Portugal's transition to democracy. I'm told this is intensely contested history. Timely reminder that it's not just Germany grappling with such things..

At a WEIMAR talk in Germany, an elderly woman raised her hand for Q&A. She was the niece of Carl Weirich, whose story I tell in the book! She gave me a diary he'd dedicated to his life with his first wife Friedel, who died in 1920. More in ZEITGEIST👇

Carl Weirich ran a shop in Weimar from 1914. Wars, hyperinflation, Hitler's rise: history happened on his doorstep and all this time he kept a diary. My intro to his story recorded at Weimar Town Archive with Blackwell's who have signed copies of WEIMAR and global shipping 👇

The town of Weimar gave its name to the ambitious Weimar Republic. Yet it also became a Nazi stronghold. It was a crucible of both democracy and dictatorship. My new book zooms in on this place and its people, 1919 to 1939. WEIMAR: LIFE ON THE EDGE OF CATASTROPHE May 2026 👇👇👇
