I wonder if this election had been held a week/10 days ago, if the far right AfD might have done better. Big turnout, possibility of some counteraction to the Trump comments/Musk interference. The centre is wounded, but has held.

Looks like an amazing volume. I'm a big fan of Maja's work, so can't wait for this chapter in particular!

Thank you. Oh don't worry I'm bugging the hell out of them 😂. Cool if not I will head to Manchester at some point. Not seen you and Aidan for ages and there's a small Newcastle-friend-of-Xander diaspora in Manchester.

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear that! I can't say I blame you given how long it was taking. Argh. Hopefully this next place is at least a little more of a straightforward situation.
