15th July (1845) Election news!
'Kelly was elected by a majority of 17 it was a very sharp contest and he paid very dear for it for they say the last 40 that voted for him cost him one thousand pounds'
In today's money, that's approximately £60,417!

‘The Poor Man’s Guardian’, a radical weekly, was first published #OnThisDay 1831. Sold for 1 penny, the paper defied the stamp duty of 4p per copy. Over 500 sellers of the paper, as well as its publisher, were imprisoned for distributing it.

Halfway through Chartism Day 2023 and what a treat it's been. Learned a lot about the Land Plan @robertsmatt1978 @markcrail heard the remarkable @jenniferballads and a fascinating paper by @DightJoshua on memory and Chartism and it's not yet lunch @StudyLabHistory – at Sheffield, England
