From Cromwell's rather lonely statue outside Westminster Hall to Room 6 at the NPG - and via a procession of modern-day petitioners - this was a delight to do with Faber Books . #Republic

Milton threw off the shackles of rhyme, but never has his time rhymed more with ours. And, like a true Puritan, my brain is still whirring after BBC Free Thinking ...

To have 'Republic' picked by Dominic Sandbrook as his favourite book of the year has made my Christmas. And, unlike Cromwell, I'll def be celebrating Christmas.

‘James, who had exalted ideas of his divinity, believed he and Buckingham were like Christ and “his John”.’ Alice Hunt on royal favourites lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v46/…

Hugely enjoyed talking to Elliot Bewick for this. His questions about how Britain in the 1650s might resonate for 'the next generation' really made me think.
