Politics lecturer. Irregular tweets/RTs on political leadership, Parliament Britpol and Oz stuff. Odd bits of 6music, cricket and Arsenal. All tweets my own.

Keir Starmer: what we know about Britain’s new prime minister and how he will lead https://t.co/b3mVg346vO #UKElection #GE2024

[Andrew Defty @adefty]

“No matter how bad the situation is for the government, with barely six months to go before he is forced to call an election, the Prime Minister may well have calculated that this is as good as it gets.” Why has the PM chosen to call a general election? https://t.co/nRpW9kOMKd

More support here from our lovely colleagues @psa_parl . We have worked hard to build up Lincoln as a centre for parliamentary research and teaching, that is now threatened by redundancies in the politics and IR team @unilincoln

"Liz Truss’s lessons on how not to be a prime minister"

I am now in competition with friends and colleagues to keep my job. The university is going to lose some of the brightest, hard-working and generous people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. How can a university care so little for teaching excellence and research?

[Mark Bennister @MarkBennister]

@GaryDRawnsley @ul_ssps @adefty An excellent and busy day!

🏖️ "Where the coast goes, England follows" - @GuardianHeather on @ukonward's new report Troubled Waters out today on why they need urgent help.

Places within 5km of England’s coast are poorer, sicker and more crime-ridden than their inland neighbours.

We've launched an important new resource to connect researchers and policymakers.

The Areas of Research Interest Database lets you see the research questions Government departments are interested in, plus UKRI-funded work by area, all in an easy-to-use interface. (1/3)

[Culture, Media and Sport Committee @CommonsCMS]

On Tuesday we continue our inquiry into women's sport.

We will hear from academics specialising in the area and explore the future growth and governance of women's sport:
