Pleased to have this piece out in @politicalquarterly.bsky.social. @nathancritch.bsky.social & I place Labour's ambitions for AI in the context of nearly a decade of AI policies to critically engage with the increasingly 'techno-solutionist' hype around AI.

Pleased @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social have published this piece on the Spring Statement co-written with @nathancritch.bsky.social, @samwarner.bsky.social & David Richards.

We argue the Spring Statement signals a return of Treasury orthodoxy which may undermine Labour's bolder plans for change.

New blog piece contextualising Labour's approach to AI in light of the Paris AI summit.

@nathancritch.bsky.social and I argue that the UK is plotting it's own course on AI regulation as part of an ambitious domestic agenda for AI.

Thanks to @mileendinstitute.bsky.social for publishing!

A short piece I was asked to put together on the devolution deal for Cheshire & Warrington.

Very happy to be given the opportunity to write for a local paper that is doing great work reporting on important local issues.

New paper out yesterday in Parliamentary Affairs, examining 14 years of Conservative party statecraft and its interplay between an idea of modernization and a more hardline Thatcherite English Toryism therein academic.oup.com/pa/advance-a...

Excellent work on devolution from the folks at Labour Together.

The legitimacy (or lack thereof) of governing institutions is a key issue facing contemporary democracies. That's why perceptions matter.

As such, it's great to see bespoke polling being done to address vital research questions.

Industrial strategies have come & gone so often that it's easy to be cynical.

That said, in a recent piece with Nathan Critch for the @productivity.bsky.social we look at Labour's 'Invest 2035' Green Paper and find reasons to be (cautiously) cheerful!

Pouring out a pint of ale today for John.

I think that politics sorely needs more Prescotts.

RIP to a real one.

Jonathan Ashworth, in his Inside Labour newsletter, points out that @labouruk.bsky.social has allocated the largest sum of money ever to protect sustainable food production. That's £5bn to the #farming budget.

£60m for farmers who suffered from severe flooding (1/4)

And nor should there be.

I'm not really a fan of folks using the issue of food inflation/security to attempt to blackmail their way out of rightfully paying inheritance tax.

The government is right to stand firm in response to these hysterics.

A bit late, but seeing as I'm new on the platform I thought I'd post my latest blog on Port Talbot for the @mileendinstitute.bsky.social

We explore policy implications of the closure, touching on some of the issues still facing devolved administrations.
