Political Parties, Elections, and Campaigning.
I had the pleasure of talking to @campaign-lab.bsky.social about Labour's response to Reform during the UK Local Elections. 👇

She found that when you attack a populist challenger, you might just be playing their game. 🎲
Check out her research!

The UK’s digital imprint regime - is it working?
New requirements for digital imprints in online campaign material were rolled out in the 2024 general election. We review the guidance and recommend how to improve transparency requirements.
