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

Image from the Financial Times, placing Keir Starmer next to Enoch Powell.

Starmer's language was deplorable.

Trump's attacks on universities get ever darker, with the shadows reaching our shores The US has become a hostile and authoritarian state to foreign scientists and is choosing ideology over science.

Colleagues are cancelling their US work trips. I worry that international colleagues in the US are at risk if they collaborate with us on certain topics.

End of term means time to tackle the shower room floor…
