Great to be at the #BSA2025 Sociology conference, despite the crisis UK Higher Ed is in. Great keynote by my colleague from Lancaster University, Dr @aaronwinter.bsky.social "What can Sociology say about right-wing extremism and the mainstreaming of racism & the far-right?".

The British Society for Population Studies (BSPS) published a statement joining @popassocamerica (PAA) & @IUSSP in expressing deep concern over the removal of key public health & demographic data by US Federal Agencies.

Devastating for public health & social care!

What a wonderful Radical Statistics 50 year anniversary conference it was! Brilliant talks, & keynotes by John Bibby, Alison McFarlane, Nazneen Ismail, & one me. Being able to still do this is empowering, given the crisis the HE sector is in.

German election: The CDU can just about get a coalition with SPD together (together getting 328 out of 630 parliamentary seats), but it's tight. High turnout of c. 80%, but they're still counting. 21% voting for the fascist AfD is a national disgrace.

The German exit poll. Centre-right CDU set to win, challenges ahead. They need the (liberal) FDP to get 5% to enable a CDU-SPD-FDP coalition but this looks unlikely. CDU won't work with the fascist AfD, but also not with Greens or Die Linke. The AfD's >20% vote share will be a national disgrace.

Liebe Freunde in Deutschland, bitte vergesst nicht, zu wählen! Der letzte Tag, um die Briefwahl Dokumente zu senden, ist heute! Zusammen am 23 Februar Faschisten verhindern! F*CK AfD!

Dire exit poll from today's German Landtag (county) elections in Brandenburg. Good news only for SPD, who narrowly beat the fascist AfD (who made big gains). The Left party is wiped out. BWS Wagenknecht did very well, but took votes only from other democratic parties, not from the far right.
