Is British politics uniquely short-termist? Voters seem to think so.

@philipjcowley.bsky.social @karlpike.bsky.social and I just released @mileendinstitute.bsky.social polling on political short/long-termism across Europe.

The UK stands out from its neighbours.

Interested in social democracy and Tony Harrison’s poetry (like the PM)? Then this book may interest you too! Also features many great colleagues, including @eunicegoes.bsky.social and @emmanuelleavril.bsky.social

Fab piece from @npjgarland.bsky.social in this Fabian pamphlet - both on the challenges and a coherent political strategy that could follow.

Last month, my most recent book ‘How to Think About Politics’ was released in Portuguese with the title ‘Política na vida real’ (trans. Thais Entriel). It is extremely weird but also very cool to see it on sale, a first for me: www.travessa.pt/Artigo/Detal...

Very good piece on some of the fiscal and temporal dilemmas Labour - and so Andy Burnham - still face.
