In Britain, women are more undecided than men about their vote choice. Why?

In our new BJPIR article, Rosalind Shorrocks and I find this is partly explained by gender gaps in:

i) political engagement
ii) perceptions of representation

Our research suggests caution when interpreting Tory losses.

The Tories have lost Leavers at the same rate as Remainers (they just had so many Leavers in 2019), and most Leavers are defecting to Reform not Labour. Maybe we're not post-realignment yet!

I didn't have the heart to say anything

I made a version of GeoGuessr where instead of guessing the location you guess who won a constituency in 2019, ElectionGuessr. You can try it out here! electionguessr.eu.pythonanywhere.com

My thoughts on Drakeford's resignation as well as the future of UK-Welsh Labour relations in today's Western Mail

Really happy to see Geoff and I's new paper on the dilemma facing #Labour (and other European social democrats) in holding together their new coalition of white graduates, ethnic minorities (BME), and the white working class. Here is what we found... 1/22
