Essentially, Dr Ally Louks and the reaction to her thesis could in itself be a thesis - but to round off, the reaction from (mostly) US accts. to her personally, and PhD's in general, should be a huge concern for UK & European lefties... & decent folk.

The Left desperately needs to either embrace Populism, or find an antidote to it. Starmer's 'ride the wave' mentality is stoic: but I'm not sure if the wave will ever dissipate and the approach may lose ground to, say, Reform.
I'm worried for academia - and my friends and colleagues.

The Right is truly on the rise around Europe. It seems fairly rosy - UK elected a Labour govt, France rejected Le Pen... but you dig into those results to find they're fragile, temporary, and results elsewhere are giving us a taste of what's to come... If, for example, UK, don't govern effectively.

Hope you're alive and well x

Join the club, curse of us both having a fair few south American players.
Can't say I hate our draws, mind. They've usually been pretty top class watches!

Love to say 3-1 Chels but don't think will score against you at all. 2-0 you guys
