The fact that Western embassies and international missions are openly refusing to give in to the Kremlin’s threats and publicly declaring that they’re staying in Kyiv is a great slap in Putin’s face and a very eloquent middle finger to him. Excellent and thank you.

There can only be one option on the table. Full EU membership. 💷 £92bn for our economy. 📈 £43bn extra exports each and every year. ⬆️ Growth in every postcode, region, and nation of the UK. 🇬🇧 628/632 constituencies in favour. 🗳️ Stops Farage getting to No10. It really is a no brainer.

Metrics often obscure more than they reveal, especially when partially completed internal surveys and marginal differences between sub-metrics are treated as problems requiring in-year action plans. The issue isn’t avoiding metrics so much as recognising the limits of quality metrics used in HE.

Britain sometimes pays wind farms to switch off because the grid can't use all the electricity they generate. But what if we could save that energy for winter? Here's how the answer may lie beneath the North Sea.

The sociologist Jeffrey Alexander wrote about performative populism - and how performance and authority exist in a loop. Once the performance slips and is no longer convincing, the authority rapidly collapses. The bubble bursts. That, despite the media’s best efforts, is happening to Farage now.

One of the great joys of the Clacton byelection has been the newspaper & media quite properly juxtaposing images of the two front runners. It has permanently diminished Farage, and tainted him with ridicule. He can never not be the political candidate who stood against Count Binface.
