- Great paper that vindicates the idea that Brexit was a “critical juncture” in the cleavage theory vain
- I'm excited to be presenting "Europhoria!" today in London at QMUL's British History Today conference at 16:00. Details here: projects.history.qmul.ac.uk/qmcbs/britis...
- I agree that this is a stupid op-ed. But it’s not and doesn’t reflect govt policy or even public opinion. It’s just a man clumsily trying to make himself relevant at home after a long time away.
- Really interesting new paper: voters of right-wing parties are less aligned with their party ideologically, w lots of ramifications … but this is changing on socio-cultural issues
- 📢 Excited to share my publication in the EJPR! I examine ideological alignment, arguing for asymmetry—left-wing partisans are more aligned than the right. Analyzing 15 countries, 20 issues, and two time points, I reveal evidence and limits of this asymmetry. 🧵 doi.org/10.1111/1475...
- As Trump menaces us in Canada, we have a question for Britain: when will you stand up to him? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- This is pure spin designed to ring alarm bells about UK getting a better deal
- A wonderful photo for those who believe in Europe working together as a geopolitical force. It has a touch of the immediate postwar period about it. Notable who is and isn’t in attendance. 🩵💛

- In this way the "realignment" was real and lasting. That said, the Tories now have a far smaller vote share and any further increases in salience would now disproportionately come from Labour voters.
