England's 'devolution revolution': prospects and challenges

We hosted a timely event yesterday (just before the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill was published) all about English devolution, with Bella Sankey, Roger Gough and @ariannagiovannini.bsky.social.

Watch it 👇

"I think it would be a bit perverse if the Lords did not put more into this bill... And if the House of Commons says no, then fine, it is over. But actually this bill pinged through the House of Commons in an afternoon. There was hardly any debate on it.

Our poll actually shows that, if they did that, they would have the public on their side." Professor Meg Russell FBA. Director of the Constitution Unit. 'Labour's welfare meltdown', Parliament Matters (4 July 2025). The Constitution Unit.

Meg Russell is on the latest episode of Parliament Matters discussing the hereditary peers bill and our new opinion polling.

She suggests that many MPs would actually support reducing the size of the House of Lords.

Thank you @euconst.bsky.social for hosting my piece on the Lin judgment! 🇪🇺 This case note is part of my broader research on time and law, and it address an interesting ECJ case that specifies the Taricco case-law. I hope
You enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing and discussing it!

Last year, I had the privilege of attending the @icon-s.bsky.social Winter/Summer School organised by Prof Rosalind Dixon. It’s not just about research but also an incredible way for junior scholars to gain insights into academia in a supportive environment. Highly recommend applying!🍀🐨🦘💡🖌️

Could you add me please?
