Democracy is not just about elections, it's about democratic values. Making a journey with the London Underground is a great way to remind us of that, argues @mukulika.bsky.social of @lseanthropology.bsky.social. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

The London Underground is a source of democratic values | LSE British Politics

Democracy is not just about elections, it's about democratic values. Making a journey with the London Underground is a great way to remind us of that.

How has Brexit affected the UK economy? Badly Higher prices, lower investment, less trade, lower growth. I wrote a blog for @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social summarising evidence on the economic effects of Brexit blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

My post on tactical voting at the local and devolved elections 2026: blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp... No evidence of effective anti-Reform tactical switching by the left, so 50% of Reform gains were in places were most votes were for parties of the left....

Tactical voting at the local and devolved elections 2026 | LSE British Politics

With the UK Party system fragmenting, tactical voting has become harder. There is little evidence of tactical voting in the local and devolved elections of 2026.

A more productive economy is being delivered under this Labour government | LSE British Politics

Worth a read. "Reform’s success should be read as a signal, not a sentence. It tells us that growth concentrated in London, credentials-dependent, invisible to millions of working people, is not working. People have now found a vehicle for saying so at scale and they should be heard."

Reform’s rise is a productivity warning, not a culture war victory | LSE British Politics

Reform’s wins at the local elections have attributed to identity and culture wars. But Grace Lordan argues that it’s economics that explains the results.

Faster broadband can be good for the economy. @rosasanchisg.bsky.social argues that it can also be good for educational outcomes. Faster broadband at home leads to better results for students, provided their schools are also appropriately technologically equipped @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social

Broadband as human capital infrastructure | LSE British Politics

Faster broadband can be good for the economy. The same can be true for educational outcomes.
