New opinion piece with @profjanegreen.bsky.social in @financialtimes.com ⬇️📊 We argue that five parties in the polls doesn't mean five-way races. What's really going on is a scramble within each bloc over who can win, fought out seat by seat.

I have spent weeks shadowing the RNLI and I can tell you, they do it out of nothing more than compassion. Wrote about the heroes I've met over the years in this free-to-read post. nicolakelly.substack.com/p/the-rnli-a...

The RNLI aren't traitors; they're heroes

I have spent weeks shadowing lifeboat crews. Here's what they do and what it's like.

🚨New paper🚨 Very pleased that “Using Gender to Choose: Voter Decision-Making in Low-Information Elections”, coauthored with Ellie Woodhouse, is now out at @jeppjournal.bsky.social. In it, we ask: when voters know very little about candidates, how do they use gender when deciding who to vote for? 🧵👇

While I agree, it does seem a good opportunity to let Mbappe and Bellingham/Kane to score 5 goals on each other and stop Messi winning the golden boot 🤷‍♀️

It's England's world cup semi-finals day. Forget team selection dilemmas and xG analysis. What you really want is a really nerdy deep-dive into football, pub opening hours, and what they tell you about the most important form of legislation that you may never have heard of. Let's go.

Given the BBC have a largely sensible set of guidelines on the use of quant polling in news stories, including a ban on a poll being a story in itself, it's always so baffling they have next-to-no similar rules on what is ultimately rudimentary qual polling. It's an insane double-standard.

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

You see that’s what football is, not calling up your mates at FIFA to get a suspension overturned for a player, team, sport and arguably even country you don’t care about

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

Is Labour overdue a female leader? One Labour MP said it is: “frustrating” that the current leadership “haven’t fostered a culture” where a female leader emerging is “likely” + there is a “wider societal misogyny that comes gunning for strong Labour women with viciousness you don’t see elsewhere”

Hardly the major news story, but Labour managing to literally have a by election to elect a man so they can elect him leader instead of considering any of the 180 odd women already in office is going to become a great topic for a politics of gender seminar one day.
