Historian Katrina Navickas explores the radical history of the increasing restrictions against protest in England’s public spaces. From the long history of contests over Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, Cable Street and Kinder Scout, as well as sites in towns and rural areas across the country, Katrina reveals how protesters claimed these spaces as their own commons, resisting their continuing enclosure and exclusion by social and political elites. She investigates famous and less well-known demonstrations and protest marches, from early democracy, trade union movements and the Suffragettes to anti-fascist, Black rights and environmental campaigners in more recent times, offering positive as well as troubling lessons on how we protect the right to protest. Katrina Navickas is Professor of History at the University of Hertfordshire. She is an historian of protest and social movements in Britain, with a focus on how protesters shaped space, place, and landscape She is the author of Protest and the Politics of Space and Place, 1789-1848 (2016) and Loyalism and Radicalism in Lancashire, 1798-1815 (2009).

From the BAFTA Award-winning co-creator of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, Jonathan Lynn, comes the long-awaited final chapter of British political satire - and it is as cunning, cutting, and catastrophically funny as ever. Jim Hacker is back - older, but perhaps not wiser, and still utterly baffled by the real world. Hoping for a quiet retirement at the tranquil Hacker College, Oxford, Jim instead finds himself facing the ultimate modern crisis: cancelled by the college committee. Enter the delightfully devious Sir Humphrey Appleby who has lost none of his love for bureaucracy, Latin phrases, and well-timed obstruction. Can Humphrey outmanoeuvre the meddling students, the Fellowship, and reality itself? Or is it finally time to say, "I’m Sorry, Prime Minister..."? Brimming with razor-sharp wit, nostalgic brilliance, and more double-speak than a press briefing, this is political comedy at its most timeless - and timely. Book now for a night of laughter, legacy, and one last glorious round of red tape, I’m Sorry, Prime Minister.
