Political scientist at @RichmondUniLdn. Interested in parties and ideologies and quite a few other things. More of a fox than a hedgehog.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialThank you so much for the invitation! It was a fantastic event! šš
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialIt was a great honour to close the @feps-europe.eu Annual Autumn Academy with some thoughts on the intellectual daring required to renew social democracy.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialVery happy to have contributed to this fab volume with a chapter on the collaborative leadership style of Portugalās Socialist Party in its dealings with the parties of the radical left.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialThanks, @karlpike.bsky.social! I hope youāre well! Congratulations on the grant!
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialYes, absolutely!
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialGreat piece!
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialThe British Treasury is really the proverbial grocery store that knows the price of everything and the value of nothing www.theguardian.com/environment/...
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialThe Home Office is run by psychopaths from the top cabinet secretary to the manager who is making mundane decisions about passport applications. Performative cruelty is its motto.

@eunicegoes.bsky.socialShame on you for denying her tenure. Iām afraid you canāt claim credit for this.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialElsinore is as good as everyone says it is and more. Quite the rollercoaster of emotions: You laugh at the beginning with the easy jokes and you leave in a flood of tears. The cast is incredible and Andrew Scott is magnificent. share.google/Km6sMnjMkWfs...
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialSƔnchez may loose the November election but a focus on affordability will not be the reason for that defeat.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialAffordability is not an issue that affects mostly the centre-left as the Republican Party in the US is about to find out and as countless centre-right parties n Europe have found out.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialThe insular fingerprints of the zombie starmerite right of the Labour Party are all over this article that fails to mention that Sanchez is the longest-serving PM in Europe (letās hope Burnham fails as badly as the PSOE with 8 years in power)

@eunicegoes.bsky.socialāMob ruleā is the argument normally deployed by those who hate democracy.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialGreat piece, Anthony. Democracy in every postcode is a wonderful idea!
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialI totally agree. Support for the welfare state is based on universal provision. The erosion of welfare state provision is related to the beginning of means-testing welfare provision. If the state wants the rich to pay more taxes, they should also enjoy the benefits of the welfare state.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialAs ever, anonymous investors welcomed the news because fascism is so good for business.
@eunicegoes.bsky.socialGosh, what news to wake up to. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

@anandmenon.bsky.socialReposted by @eunicegoes.bsky.socialWe're going to get a lot of this. And we should take the numbers with an enormous dollop of salt. The negotiations would be tough, the terms less favourable than those we rejected in 2016. These numbers will move ' however 'mega' the poll! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...
