See below for a new article in @ConversationUK by myself, Stephen Holden Bates and Caroline Bhattacharya. It outlines our Parliamentary Affairs study, which finds that former MPs elevated to the House of Lords are often merely being rewarded for loyalty

@bspiesbutcher @plvhayman @markriboldi @POPpoliticsAus I mainly study party finance (I’m UK based but focus on ‘Westminster-style’ democracies, so very interested in Australia too 😃)

[Will Horncastle @willhorncastle]

@PJDunleavy Perhaps this is an interesting time to plug my new co-authored paper “Which MPs get elevated to the House of Lords?”, Open access in Parliamentary affairs. Evidence suggests that expertise, loyalty and nepotism are important factors in HoL entry

New publication day 😃

Loved working on this paper that examines the question: ‘Which MPs get elevated to the House of Lords?’ 🤔

Out open access in Parliamentary Affairs now 🤓

The England team was at as low an ebb as it had ever been when he took over. Bottom of their World Cup group, elminated by Iceland at the Euros, and a total disconnect between players and fans.

What he's done in 8 years has been remarkable, and if you can't see that it's on you.

Linked is my take on last week’s election result for @whogovernseu. Big win for Labour, huge loss for the Conservatives, and an intriguing result for the Lib Dems and Reform #BritainElection #Politics

💥New! Campaign financing was last regulated in 2000, allowing both major parties to continue to rely on a handful of large donors. @jrhopkin and @StuartWilksHeeg argue that the next government should reform the current regulation and put an end to this.

Hi @RestIsPolitics, I hear @RoryStewartUK is looking for help making his mind up on how to vote. We've created a website called https://t.co/JU8X02NiSH to help voters see how their opinions line up with the policies on offer. We'd love a shout-out to spread the word! Thanks :)
