Delighted that our amazing PhD student @cristyramirezp.bsky.social passed her viva yesterday with no corrections. Cristy's work on populism and the resilience of electoral institutions is hugely important and we're all very proud @kcl-spe.bsky.social Congratulations Dr Ramirez!!

The mad thing is there is no advantage to this. We lost to Oxford and Ipswich! Boro battered us in that game too. Completely pointless.
