🎥 | Thousands of people occupy Passeig de Gràcia right now in Barcelona. The group Committees for the Defense of the Republic have called for a “festive” atmosphere and for people to come in sports gear and play with footballs, rugby balls, and beach balls

A reminder of how wild first past the post gets when you have three plus credible parties.

Difficult to deny that this kinda sums up the polling on Mr Corbyn right now.

This surely a sign that I shouldn't be trying to work on Thanksgiving.

Gotta love First Past the Post: The Conservatives won 56.2% of Commons seats with 43.6% of the vote - and a 1.3 percentage point increase in vote-share gave them a 7.4 percentage point increase in seats. (Figures courtesy of Electoral Reform Society).

Don’t forget to set your clocks back 46 years tonight. #BrexitEve

OUT NOW: Gregory Baldi's 'Ideas, Institutions, and the Politics of Schools in Postwar Britain and Germany' has just published in our Palgrave Studies in the History of Childhood series - find out more here: bit.ly/3aaOCzb

Most of the recent literature on the politics of #education has applied a political economy perspective / focused on interests (including my own work). Two new books by Marina Cino Pagliarello & Gregory Baldi offer great analysis on the role of ideas & discourses. Much recommended.
