y pushing for such a hardline policy, Reform may have over-reached and handed a powerful weapon to their political opponents, who can attack a potential Farage government as a clear and present danger to the rights and security hundreds of thousands of decent hard-working migrant families, including friends, neighbours and workmates. After years of making the running on immigration, Farage may this week have handed the initiative back to his opponents.
@robfordmancs.bsky.social argues that the unpopularity of Reform's proposals offer the government an opportunity - but I'd add that they will squander that if they introduce what just looks like a watered-down version of those proposals.

Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?
Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared

New article out in World Politcs. We analyze how different groups react to varying programs of social democratic parties. We find less trade-offs than often assumed. Generally, more left-progressive programs increase support among social democratic potentials

We discovered a lot of "fun" local electoral history bits that have been hidden. Some of the buildings and public houses involved are still standing.

Image from the Financial Times, placing Keir Starmer next to Enoch Powell.
Starmer's language was deplorable.
It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy.
But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

The reason why parents would rip the country apart is because there is no widely available and accepted apprentices routes into many white collar jobs. Setting those up and shifting the culture takes time and money, things the UK does not have.
