In November 2025, this Blog/Website will be 18 years old. Started as a vanity project after my part-time degree at Birkbeck University, it has now become something more substantial. It is now comfortably racking up 10,000 hits per month, which is not bad for a website that, outside of the World Socialist Website, is the only orthodox Trotskyist website.
This year, I hope to expand the website and add more history
writers, as well as a few additional subject pages. The other aim is to produce
two drafts of the books I have been working on for some time. A collection of
essays on Raphael Samuel and to rewrite my degree dissertation on Cromwell, the
Levellers and the Putney Debates.
