Deadly wildfires like those now gripping France and Spain are often cited as evidence of the need to tackle climate change. But do these events lead to real political change? @timwapps.bsky.social @antvalentim.bsky.social @heikekluever.bsky.social @lstoetze.bsky.social @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social

There is little evidence extreme weather events spur political action on climate change - LSE European Politics

There is no evidence of a shift in the political attention paid to the environment in the aftermath of extreme weather events like flooding and wildfires.

Britain is about to have its seventh Prime Minister in just over a decade - but is Brexit to blame? Read my thoughts in the LSE British Politics blog @lseblogs.bsky.social ✏️ blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Is Brexit to blame for the churn of Prime Ministers? | LSE British Politics

After Keir Starmer announced he will be resigning, the UK is about to have its seventh PM since the Brexit referendum, ten years ago. That's not a coincidence.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.

Our piece at @psrm.bsky.social (w/ @korinlind.bsky.social) is summarised in this @lseeuroppblog.bsky.social post We study why progressive parties may struggle to win immigrant votes focusing on green parties & home country institutions. Full paper: shorturl.at/xI55f blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Why do parties with pro-immigration policies often fail to attract the support of immigrant voters? ✍ @korinlind.bsky.social @mzesunimannheim.bsky.social @antvalentim.bsky.social @lse-ei.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2...

Why don’t all immigrants support progressive parties?

New research shows political socialisation can help explain why not all immigrants vote for progressive parties with pro-immigration policies.
