This is a great opportunity for students interested in a PhD in political science in the US!

We help break down opaque parts of the application process and provide students with individualized feedback. I recommend interested students apply, especially those not coming from elite R1 universities

Stephen Miller: Donald Trumpโ€™s โ€˜prime ministerโ€™ executes his plan to reshape America Washingtonโ€™s most powerful unelected bureaucrat slashes immigration and threatens his political enemies

Miller: โ€œAm I the only one here who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.โ€

What a nice chap.

I just can't get over the lack of shame--the unabashed confidence. Can you imagine what those Generals are thinking being lectured to by someone so inexperienced and incompetent?

This appalling speech appears to have been written by a diabolical blend of Stephen Miller and Homer Simpson.

Alluvial plot showing the flow of support from vote in the 2024 UK General Election to vote intention in the 2025 Wave 30 of the BES Internet Panel.

Labour's support has splintered.

Over 1 in 5 of their 2024 voters are now undecided. Labour could win these back, but there is a risk.

The Conservatives lost a similar amount to indecision after the last 3 elections, and they won most back in 2017 and 2019 (but not 2024).
