The season where GWR discovers that it rains in the UK is back upon us. My train is so cancelled, it’s not even on the board anymore.

Delighted to finally see this piece out! Around 3 years ago, Matteo & I started thinking about whether Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy REALLY resembled its neo-fascist predecessor in any meaningful way. The results are now published in @polstudies.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Had a great time discussing the far right in EU Elections at Trevelyan College in Durham! Great audience, great questions & a parallel between Orban and Mariah Carey that I doubt I'll ever be able to mention again.
Now back to London to present my book at King's: www.eventbrite.com/e/book-prese...
