Really pleased this article with @Joeganderson and Waltraud Schelkle is out now in Comparative European Politics. We compared EU / US through the pandemic and found some surprising resilience on the European side, despite formally weaker institutions tinyurl.com/4xp34s6e
A must-read this morning - JRF's
@alfie_stirling on the crisis in UK living standards, and how politicians can (and must) respond
The latest OBR forecasts suggest the avg. family may end the parliament financially worse off than they were at the start.
That's unlikely to be electorally survivable, but there may be a way to turn it around.
New piece from me for Political Quarterly.

🎉 It’s a wrap! The SOLID Project workshop (9-10 Dec) has come to an end, and what an incredible two days it’s been! Members presented their contributions to the upcoming Journal of European Public Policy @jepp_journal special issue.
Looking forward to rounding out the Concepts in Political Economy course this afternoon with a discussion of... Crisis! Thanks in advance to my @ERC_SOLID colleagues for all the expertise we have developed together on this topic - the lecture practically wrote itself
I love @jburnmurdoch ‘s charts - basically adding community notes for the whole public discourse

Good to see this essay by @KAlexanderShaw from latest issue of @RenewalJournal cited in Guardian leader today: deserves to be read widely. It's about how govts need to connect diagnosis to prescription in economic policy & how Lab risks not doing so. journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renew…

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org?
This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster..

"Labour’s policy prescriptions are at odds with their own economic diagnosis" - my piece in Renewal this month, free to read here journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renew…
Kate Alexander-Shaw retweeted
In the new issue of Renewal, @KAlexanderShaw argues that while Labour have now set out their diagnosis, as long as economic policy is driven primarily by their fiscal rules, the link from diagnosis to policy prescriptions will be broken. Free to read: journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renew…

The new double issue of @RenewalJournal is now online - free to read pieces include election analysis from @elizabeth_sim0n and Labour’s economic story from @KAlexanderShaw journals.lwbooks.co.uk/renew…

A short break from all the craziness going on around...
This photo of birds on power lines from @danilic looks like musical notation. So I tried to play it.
Really looking forward to this - do submit something if you have a paper in the works!
Looking forward to receiving submissions to our workshop on "Global Elections and Economic Shifts: Political Economy in 2024" held @CityUniLondon in November. Very excited to have @AAzmanova as our keynote speaker!

In any case any journalist, analyst or Conservative campaigner using vote share to pitch a Right-wing Reform/Con bloc of 35-40% needs to face the fact that the election also set in place a Liberal and Centre Left bloc of Labour/LibDems/Greens with vote share of 50-55%

An under-discussed side-effect of the cashless economy is that sometimes the tooth fairy does not have a £1 coin when it is needed

The line that the EU elections are status quo and that center has held, downplays the shock to Fr and Germany and the agenda of Green Modernization that they anchored around UvdL embodied in Green Deal & NextGenEU. Chartbook 292
