Very much looking forward to participating in a debate in the Liverpool Guild of Students on the 18th, whereby I'll be debating whether the UK franchise should be extended to 16yr olds for General Elections! No spoilers, just book: www.liverpoolguild.org/ents/event/5... @livunipol.bsky.social

It is a year since #Kemi #Badenoch became leader of the #ConservativeParty - she's had moments of excellence, esp in #PMQs (same as William Hague), but it has mostly been a difficult year. For 2026 to be better she needs a good story to tell that outlines why she wants to be PM.

Very enjoyable seminar this morning on #rhetoric in #BritishPolitics! Using ancient methods outlined by Aristotle, we discussed the extent to which they represent a valuable framework for modern politicians & their relationship with the media/voters. Great group of students with excellent questions!

Recently I lost 13 stone. Here's how! i) keep an eye on calories to ensure you have a calorie deficit between consumption and burning; ii) cleanse the system regularly with purges that flush the body; iii) drink plenty of water & eat fresh veg; iv) regular exercise; and v) consistency! Stick to it.

This shouldn't need saying but drivers should let the funeral procession pass in peace. We should just know not to do this. We really need to remember the social conventions of civility that make up society if this is where we are at. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The #LabourDeputyLeadership results - #LucyPowell wins, with 87,407 votes (55%). Bridget Phillipson secured 73,536 (45%). Rayner was one of the few who may have appealed to #Labour voters considering #Reform. Can Powell? Could any contender?! Nominations: labour.org.uk/deputy-leade...

#Tuitionfees in England are to increase by the rate of inflation from next year. Fees have been frozen for a decade or so (bar the recent tiny increase) - with the value of the £ going down, 9k today is worth 6k, & cuts to int. students leaves a significant funding shortfall that's harder to absorb.

Hope everyone has a well deserved relaxing weekend! The last few weeks have been early morning starts and late night finishes, so very much looking forward to a weekend of rest. This year has hit the road running, which hopefully will settle back rather than intensify! Rest well, all.

Always happy to do media work on #BritishPolitics, #communication, political #leadership, or #ideological tensions! I've previously contributed to UK national and international print & broadcast #media, which is always an enjoyable experience!

This is making Change UK look well organised and delivered! There are serious issues outlined below which make this a bit... toxic.
