An interesting and insightful article from Matthew Flinders in the British Journal of Politics and International Relations on the politics of journal content, focusing on 25 years of BJPIR. Well worth a read! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

#Summer has arrived! Gloriously #sunny, warm day by the beach with a nice refreshing breeze to make it absolutely perfect. More like this, please! We can get back to the cold/wet/windy later. For now - summer at last! Perfect for walks, jogs, vitamins, & toning legs on the move!

Great reps from @livunipol.bsky.social, meeting MPs, journalists, & our brilliant professional #alumni networking in #Westminster!

Hopefully should be fine!

Bringing #Crypto into the UK political discussion will likely be 'water off a ducks back' without an accompanying information campaign. Put simply, to most voters, #cryptocurrencies are just unreal monopoly monies that some play with. In effect, it's joke money for games.

Great to see the #BBC reporting on the political and intellectual significance of #British Political studies. It is a vital and valuable division of political studies! In this case, the focus is on a conference considering #Starmer's first year in power. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This will be worth traveling to Scotland to see! www.nationaltheatrescotland.com/latest/the-h...

A few thoughts following the horrific incident in #Liverpool on Monday. The city and its people are a strong community.

An upcoming event at @livunipol.bsky.social examining leadership & renewal in the UK Conservative Party after Boris Johnson - put simply, no matter what was attempted, it was doomed to fail!

All ready for summer!

Marking done! Now, back to research, writing, and funding bid...

Currently putting together a reading list for a first year lecture on Public Policy in Britain. Any recommendations? Post here or send me a message with the details! Thank you.

This is a fascinating movement which I'm starting to research for my next academic rhetoric piece - the independence movement for Cape. This is a growing movement that is making the case for independence from South Africa on the basis of divergent values. www.capeindependence.org

An interesting piece from @livunipol.bsky.social's own @drdavidjeffery.bsky.social on the #AssistedDyingBill. Give it a read! theconversation.com/assisted-dyi...

NEW! We're done! With the Open Access Intro finished and online for an upcoming Special Edition on #Rhetoric (edited by me for Global Discourse), this brings to an end a fun project that has shown the intellectual and political significance of rhetoric in a wide range of settings!

Delighted to be invited to contribute a chapter on rhetoric in British Politics for the Routledge Handbook on Political Rhetoric in Society, to be edited by Pamela Pietrucci, Jelte Olthof, Lisa Villadsen, Karrin Vasby Anderson, and Mary Stuckey! I said yes.

Another event with research output planned! This one - on October 1st - examines ancient rhetoric in the modern world. It takes a global perspective with international contributors. Papers will appear in the peer reviewed journal, Global Discourse. Places are strictly limited! @livunipol.bsky.social

October 1st will be a great day for #rhetoric(!) An academic symposium will be taking place at @livunipol.bsky.social for a journal special edition. Invitations will be sent to all with an interest in communication including undergrads on #POLI252 & #POLI323. Details to follow over summer...

It's a wrap! This week for #POLI323, we look at oratory and rhetoric as marketable skills in the professional world! The concluding lecture highlights which skills tend to enable career success and, in turn, professional development. Will be useful!

Amazing to think we're almost at the end of the semester, and another fun time delivering my third year rhetoric module! Student engagement and attendance has been excellent, even in sessions delivered after the Easter break and after the final assessment date passed! Been great. Next up - marking!

NEW! Delighted to have a new article in Parliamentary Affairs that deals with the topic everyone is talk about - #Badenoch's election as @Conservatives leader! With @drdavidjeffery.bsky.social and Tim Heppell, the article can be found here: academic.oup.com/pa/advance-a... @livunipol.bsky.social

Canadian #GE2025 is taking place today, with the winner gaining a difficult inheritance & diplomatic situations. Patrick English (YouGov) projects a likely win for the Liberals, with reduced likelihood of no maj. yougov.co.uk/politics/art...

One to watch - #Runcorn & #Helsby by-election will be taking place on Thurs following the resignation of #Labour MP, Mike Amesbury after he punched a constituent. Notional results from 2019 put the #Tories within reach of winning but '24 was a big Labour win. Change ahead in '25?
