@DamianSurvation The last Holyrood election was 5 years ago and Michelle Ballantyne, an outgoing MSP (elected as a Conservative) stood - very unsuccessfully - for Reform in 2021.

Looking forward to conversation with @AdamRamsay on why, at a time of rising populism, we urgently need more diverse & inclusive stories of national identity - please join us if you can #MakeHopePossible

My PhD supervisor @adam_tooze belongs among varied intellectuals (Therborn, David Scott, Chakrabarty, Hall etc) seeking social theory after the collapse of dialectical History. I've long thought this is underplayed in his books, which are presented as narrative histories... /1

The great Bob Fulton has passed away this week at the age of 101. I only got to know him during the last decade of his life, and those years alone could fill up the pages of a wonderfully surreal biography. Bob was larger than life. 1/

Seven ‘local’ councils in Scotland are larger than country of Luxembourg with 12 cantons & 116 councils. Highland is larger than Belgium with a federal gov, 3 regional govs & 581 councils. What Scotland has is not local democracy. Let’s change that.

With all respect, the real experts on NC500 issues & solutions are the locals who live on the route. https://t.co/mABiQmyGRr

Our fringe at #SNP2024 is packed out as we reflect on 25 years of devolution and the future of Scottish democracy with @LesleyRiddoch @RobertonEsther and @jamiehepburn. With our friends at Build A Local Scotland.

@adamnolsmcvey popped you an email, wonder if you could have a look?

[Royal Society of Edinburgh @RoyalSocEd]

We see debate as a tool for making decisions, but how we debate truly shapes outcomes. In an increasingly polarised world, our current methods of discussion are hindering our ability to find solutions.

So how can we transform our debates: https://t.co/eXkCu9lL4j

Australian legal experts call for swift removal of #ISDS.

They emphasise the need to safeguard public health, environmental values, and climate initiatives from future legal challenges.
