Thanks to @NCLanarkshire for inviting me to speak about my new book, An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class, as part of their Breaking the Cycle conference. It was great to meet so many students interested in labour and social history.

Looking forward to discussing my new book, An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class, in conversation with @m00dyjonas, the author of The Breaking of the English Working Class, at @lighthousebks in Edinburgh next Monday (16 November) at 7pm. Come along!

The London double book launch was packed to the rafters! I was in conversation with @m00dyjonas about the shared themes of our new books: An Injury to All the Unmaking of the British Working Class and the Breaking of the English Working Class.

Today’s Observer features @kenanmalik on employers’ objections to extending workers’ rights. He engages with my book - An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class - to understand the long class struggle from above from Grunwick to Amazon.
