Found out today that I'll be going to Labour Party Conference. Anyone here going and want to meet up?

I currently have some extra capacity for consultancy on policy, research and strategic planning. I cover UK politics, as well as the US and Norway. Do reach out to me directly if you or your company are looking for support, consultancy or capacity enhancement in the coming weeks.

I don't know Max personally but his research couldn't be more relevant to the direction of UK politics right now. Political leadership and devolution? Yeah I'm sure that won't be important in the next few years.

My thanks to Nick for such a generous response! I research on 2 key areas of political leadership: 1. Mayors and devolution 2. Political advisers, esp. Downing Street Chief-of-Staff. Both pretty current and happy to talk about either!

Hi, I'm being made redundant by the University of Southampton at the end of this month. I'm desperately looking for work. I'll consider all offers but have particular skills in policy, strategy and research. I also have a consultancy service I offer. Please let me know if you hear of anything

I'm raising money to fund my research into the #DowningStreet #ChiefOfStaff, which will soon result in two book submissions. If you are able to contribute, please do see the below link. Alternatively, please share it with someone you know who might be interested. Thank you! gofund.me/4ea32b093

We are seeing multiple instances of reviewers doing manuscript reviews via use of AI/LLM. If you don't want to do a review the old-fashioned way, better to decline the request. Giving someone else's manuscript to AI is a violation of intellectual property rights/laws; the manuscript isn't yours...

It's never occurred to me to use AI for reviews and anyone doing it is extremely disrespectful to people's work and time.

IMHO, anyone who genuinely believes they can say in April 2025 what the framing of a 2029 general election will look like hasn't been paying much attention to politics in Britain over the last decade or so...

NEW - In some rare good news, British Steel ends redundancy consultation, keeping thousands of jobs at least for now. Both blast furnaces are able to operate.

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

I know there are more exciting q's for a Wednesday, but is anyone else struggling at the moment? February depression seems to have come earlier and harder this year.

Happy New Year to all! In 2025, I'd just like a permanent post (preferably at pay for lecturer level, if possible) 🙏

Now that I’m on a platform where people actually see and engage with my posts again, I cannot wait to do my annual holiday book recommendations thread. Y’all are going to get bookskyed so hard.

Delighted to say that "Failed State" has met the key benchmark of selling more hardback copies than Liz Truss's memoir.

Must confess as big names join or start posting here, I’m getting a mild glow of satisfaction from the temporary ability to say “Ooh, I’ve got more followers than Newsnight” and so on. It won’t last, but it’s fun whilst it does.
