🇪🇺🇬🇧 Through my first set of meetings in Brussels. The praise for Starmer is overwhelming: “What he has managed to do is not just good for him. It's good for all of us. Absolutely top notch. This is the UK at its best. The UK we have always admired.

These are dark days. But for Starmer, the collapse of the old order is a moment of political promise. He can use it to remake his premiership and the continent: new political space has unfolded before him in every direction.

Will he seize it? New writing from me.

Here's a reminder to authors that are considering indexing their upcoming book, indexing is not something that most people like doing and especially after they have gone through the gauntlet of editing after manuscript submission. Note: not my index #AcademicSky #AcademicPublishing
Ah thank you! Given how horrendous doing an index is, I also would like to salute them for their service.

Just received Tim Shipman's 'Out' & am really looking forward to reading it but, my goodness, it's a huge tome to the point of being hard, physically, to read unless you happen to have a lectern handy! And, a pet peeve, really annoying that there is no index, especially in a book of this magnitude.
