It baffles me that some political analysts and journalists are still questioning whether Trump is serious about his promises. Are we living in the same world?

Pleased to share my blog piece with International Affairs @iajournal.bsky.social, linking my current Leverhulme Trust @leverhulme.bsky.social research on how leaders change, my previous IA article on breaking bad, and Trump 2.0 medium.com/internationa...

🚨 Election Alert: FPA Section Members! Cast your vote for the FPA Section Executive Council elections by Feb 7

It would be quite ironic if the Conservatives were the ones to put the Brexit issue back on the table, while Labour continued to avoid the topic. Such a crucial issue that has been painfully absent from the discussion.

Chilean president makes historic trip to south pole amid Antarctica sovereignty claim

Debo decir que los buses chilenos no tienen nada que envidiarle a los de Reino Unido y me atrevo a decir a Europa en general, todo lo contrario, ojalá hubiesen buses así para no quedar con la espalda en la mano cuando se viaja 🇨🇱 ❤️

Today, the assisted dying bill is being debated in the House of Commons. One argument against it questions whether the National Health Service can manage the costs. Ironically, the NHS lacks the funds to assist people in dying and is also struggling to keep people alive. Total failure.

Hace mucho tiempo que no me tocaba revisar trabajos de estudiantes en espaĂąol y olvidĂŠ lo bueno que somos para escribir frases larguĂ­simas con millones de comas y puntos seguidos. Para quĂŠ decir el uso de conectores "no obstante lo que se indicĂł anteriormente siguiendo la misma lĂ­nea..."

The University of Edinburgh announced potential redundancies due to the supposedly dire financial situation. UCU Edinburgh looked into it and here are the results. Spoiler alert: this is not the case. www.ucuedinburgh.org.uk/blog/2eppzf7...

Here's quite a good basic briefing on the university crisis which is now shifting from the chronic to the acute stage. Basically, central government has to do something now, or regret it for a very long time. theweek.com/education/uk...

Having just presented my book (again) yesterday, it struck me that though it is mainly about multinational states, the mechanism of majority backlash at its core might inform and illuminate the politics of other states where majority nationalism has been on the rise. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Spain today fined low-cost airlines Ryanair, Vueling, easyJet, Norwegian and Volotea €179 million for abusive practices, the ministry of consumer affairs announced.

It’s been 24 hours & neither Keir Starmer nor David Lammy have commented on the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu & Yoav Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity. Perhaps they could apply the same standards as the ones they outlined below:
