Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@AliFortescue So if war ends in concessions or annihilation perhaps the question is really how soon can the West annihilate Putin's Russia. It's a medium sized economy with some incredibly stupid military strategists so it shouldn't be too hard. But then Farage would lose his paymasters...

The proverb ‘a bow long bent grows weak’ warns that people who are stressed or overworked will eventually cease to function as well as they once did.

If I were advising the UK Prime Minister, I would tell them to make a televised statement to the nation tonight (or very soon) along the following lines:

1. We are in an energy crisis. This crisis is having a dreadful effect on everyone’s finances. And it is going to get worse.

Word of the day is 'filipendulous' (19th century): hanging by a thread.

Friends! Help us to spead this call to action! Massive mobilisation of ordinary people in different countries can change this situation. Ordinary people have much more power that they think

In the first of a series of blogs on our gender and British elections @journalEPOP special issue, @ProfRosieCamp @RAdeGeus @e_ralph_morrow and I examine gendered voting behaviour in Britain and how it has been shaped by electoral context in recent years https://t.co/Bdwc6LjEjt

Hindsight narrative is gaslighting on a national scale. I remember exactly what it was like in March 2020. The pressure was intense for the government to take action weeks before it did so.

Fantastic thread from @LukeTryl. More in Common @MiC_Global finds UK democracy is threatened by distrust, disengagment and disapointment. Building trust in politics is a must to avoid populists - who sideline minority rights and stir up division. Journos take note! #democracy

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

🧵 Brexit, Lockdowns, Shortages & Stockpiles - British democracy has had lots to contend with recently. @MiC_Global we wanted to find out how it was holding up. ‘Democratic Repair’ reveals the good, the bad & the ugly about what Britons think about the state of our politics.(1/n)

[Elisa Colton @ElisaColton]

A “botched Brexit” buys into the myth that there was a good, painless Brexit to be had...the multiple crises the UK faces as a result of leaving the EU cannot be solved until this causality is acknowledged. #BrexitChaos https://t.co/iMA963iKa0
