Neither the left or right are prepared to face Britain's grave energy crisis. I've written for @theguardian.com on how decades of complacency cannot be magicked away by drilling in the North Sea – or even by hoping that renewables will quickly power everything.

Two months ago, I was wondering how we would react to the first "earth rise"* image taken in more than half a century. We have just got the image back from Artemis II - but I fear Trump's threat of a "civilisation dying tonight" might distract us Civilisation indeed. *below is an "earth set"

With NASA soon set to send a crew around the Moon again for the first time in half a century, it will be notable to see how this generation of earthlings reflects on the images sent back. In Dec 1968, Apollo 8 crew returned with perhaps the most iconic and impactful image in history...

This is a good question to address, actually. There's often an intuitive assumption that when a country runs out of money, its war effort will grind to a halt. That's how households and (sometimes) companies work. But those assumptions are really frequently frustrated - countries can push on.

If they can’t export oil, how is Iran going to fund this war? Obviously defending countries tend to find a way, but man is this going to be brutal for their economy. They already had a brittle economy with terrible inflation.

Ok, let’s do this🙄 We’ll start with an explainer covering: 🕒What is a 15-minute city 🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford 👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article 🧵 1/25

There’s lots of criticism of this, but to a large extent this should be understood as electoral positioning on the left. A key left criticism of the Greens is that they aren’t sufficiently anti-NATO - this pushes back on that even if it erodes some of the soft left votes that the Greens also want.

EXC: Zack Polanski tells us Britain should consider closing US military bases, leave Nato and denuclearise, as he begins to flesh out the Greens’ foreign policy. Also spells out to @pippacrerar.bsky.social and me his red lines in any coalition talks to come. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Going through some history of climate politics notes from last week, I realize we dont appreciate enough the climate mobilization of mid2010s and subsequent electoral green wave of late 2010s. That moment was never really meant to be in the cards and we need to better study how we got there 🪡 1/n

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Very happy to see this published online. A thought provoking and beautifully crafted article that suggests we centre ‘being’ rather than active ‘doing’ in classroom. Well worth a read, this will be part of a forthcoming symposium on active learning in the Politics journal.

Kate and I are delighted to see our article on spacious learning published in @politicsjournal.bsky.social. In it, we advocate for slower spaces that centre ‘being’ rather than rushing to do or produce. We share three practices from our own teaching as examples: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Screenshot of article abstract, accessible at this link: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02633957251370594 The title of the article is 'Spacious learning: A critical reflection on active learning in political science'. The abstract reads: "Active learning is often understood as students ‘doing and producing’ academic work. This approach has a tendency to promote learning as a project of dynamic knowledge acquisition rather than one of being and becoming. In this article, we propose a more capacious understanding of active learning that makes room for spacious learning. Spacious learning invites students into slower spaces that centre ‘being’ rather than rushing to do or produce. This approach treats learning as a process rather than a means to an end, allowing students time to sit with ideas and to relate them to their own lives and experiences. We then offer practical examples of invitations to spacious learning in political science, highlighting transformative everyday practices that sustain spaciousness in the classroom: micro-communities of learning, relational scaffolding for research and creative projects, and reflective writing."
