It's increasingly obvious that Labour's strategy - call it Starmerism, Blue Labour, whatever - has got it badly wrong. It has alienated the party's core vote while failing to win over those leaning to Reform. There was no shortage of people warning them they were getting it wrong either.
Three years ago, Labour was polling in the 50s.

it is a great pleasure to share the pre-print version of submitted research on the Portuguese far right, coauthored with Didier Ruedin and entitled: Enough of what? Changes in support for Chega between 2019 and 2025

No one normalizes the Trump administration’s authoritarianism like the New York Times.

when France is led by a president unwilling to recognize democratic results of the 2024 snap general election, when the American president fires a director because he dislikes the national statistics, I wonder: who is going to stop this genocide?
