If you know me, you know I am obsessed with building dashboards. 😅

Well, I am excited to share that @ernesto-deleon.com, Max Paulus, & I were awarded a small grant to build an #rstats package to make them accessible to other researchers.

And we’re hiring a Research Assistant to help us do that!

Tried to take stock (with the amazing @profjanegreen.bsky.social) of what we do & don't know about what these local results mean for Reform, and the challenges the party would still face in a general election

These challenges have implications for the Cons., but also Labour defending their seats...
New post just out

A fascinating guest post from @profjanegreen.bsky.social and @martamiori.bsky.social looking at Reform's performance last week.

Are we seeing an end to two-party politics or its reinvention?
