@danielgover.bsky.socialRecently received my copy of this by @paulbrand.bsky.social - looks great at putting the recent debate in England & Wales into context. Looking forward to reading properly.
@philipjcowley.bsky.socialReposted by @danielgover.bsky.socialJust done the latest Long Division piece for @mattchorley.bsky.social's programme - an amendment to the Iron and Steel bill in 1953, illustrated by a bit of Gilbert and Sullivan from 1882. As Matt said, "you don't get that anywhere else, probably for good reason".
@danielgover.bsky.socialCongrats!

@timbale.bsky.socialReposted by @danielgover.bsky.socialThere's many a slip twixt cup and lip. Me on how once we move from the normative abstract to the nitty-gritty particular on electoral reform, there's plenty of opportunities for self-interest to take over. Fortunately, to borrow another maxim, The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft agley!

@a-b-evans.bsky.socialReposted by @danielgover.bsky.socialFor devolution anoraks with a keen sense of nostalgia for the simpler, happier times of English votes for English laws, this is an interesting retrospective from Dr EVEL himself
@danielgover.bsky.social on how the system operated as system of legislative consent for English* MPs #devolution
@danielgover.bsky.socialA blast from the constitutional past, but a new piece from me reviewing the UK parliament's experiment with EVEL.

@tomnewby.co.ukReposted by @danielgover.bsky.socialThis is pretty terrifying. An architect generated structural engineering calculations using AI. The calculations looked convincing to a non expert but were fundamentally wrong, and unsafe.

tl;dr: Burnham must continue to take easy short-term wins and keep banging the drum about the long-term vision those short-term wins serve.
