Looking forward to discussion on liberalism with Frank Vibert and @pjthinker.bsky.social later today. Whether I will make it given public transport failure is another question but might explain why we need to debate this issue. www.lse.ac.uk/accounting/c...

Respectfully would argue that the Brexit referendum itself was a symptom of a political class that had withdrawn from governing and instead entertained itself with spectacle politics. (Wrote this in 2018 with @martinlodge.bsky.social). www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

We've been told for decades that 16 year olds are super prepared for the vote - overflowing with knowledge, enthusiasm, and electoral vim.

Now they're about to get it, it'll all be about training, citizenship classes, outreach programmes and the rest...

Unexploded Policy Bomb in Water Commission Report The key water industry question is how much the companies, and their customers, should be forced to spend to improve its infrastructure and so reduce leaks and sewage discharges.

This is a great piece. But as a ‘European’ I am puzzled how the Anglo Saxons always talk about continental Europe as the land of abundant modern infrastructure. Somehow the German news look very different.
