Time to get cranking!

Kefauver in front of an old Model T Ford with a class of teenage boys in Massachusetts in April 1952. I presume he's handing over his hat so he can show the boys how to start the car up.

Democracies get the governments that they deserve. If people want more supportive, caring societies, where no-one is left behind, they will have to be serious and realistic. We cannot reduce taxes and protect the weakest in society at the same time. Trickling down has never worked.

Decent societies cannot be built on exploitation. #EconSky #PoliSky

Things may appear dire, but there is still hope. We can still turn things around. We will just have to act. Do not be fooled by those who tell you cannot make a meaningful contribution. 🧪 #PoliSky #EconSky

All election forecasts, like all models, are incredibly parameter-sensitive. What isn't sensitive is voters' focus on the economy, and on the discontent that follows promised policy relief that never came.

Happy to share that "The Longitudinal Origins of Far-Right Support", with Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser and Matías Bargsted, has been accepted at the European Journal of Political Research (EJPR)! 🎉 #PoliSky short 🧵:

Estes Kefauver, friend to farmers!

Kefauver test-drives a tractor while visiting an agricultural fair in Iowa in 1956. He looks comfortable behind the wheel!

I realise, it is a leading question, but it is still good to confirm that the answer is 'No'. Colonial history including the slave trade belongs into the school curriculum. #AcademicSky #PoliSky

I am sure Equinor will support using the profits from British oil fields for a British sovereign wealth fund in the same way as Norway does. This fund could then be used to speed up the transition to net zero. #EconSky #PoliSky 🧪
