Talking to Tom always helps me understand politics better. This week, he chatted to @imaanirfan.bsky.social and me about whether Burnham will end up as a continuity or change PM... on social care, on devolution and on small boats discourse (after Ceuta). Thanks Tom!

University of Nottingham staff are facing cuts to more than 600 jobs and over 40 courses. This would be devastating for workers, students, and our city, as well as UK research.

It's too hot, and we all know why. If you're sheltering from the heat like I am, do listen to Jens Beckert, who has fascinating ideas about what's stopping us from fighting climate change. @mpifg.bsky.social @prospectmagazine.co.uk @imaanirfan.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/pro...

Jens Beckert: Democracy won’t beat climate change

From profit maximisation to short term limits, is capitalist modernity equipped to tackle climate change?

🚨Reform could almost *DOUBLE* oil and gas imports by 2035 🚨 (by my rough estimates) The war in Iran has led to a million folks suggesting that we just need to drill in the North Sea a bit more, and the UK will be all fine again. Notably, that voice of reason, Reform UK, is keen on this

I didn't post this yesterday because we were too busy getting our April issue launched—but I've written a piece in it! It's about a big current in the Atlantic ocean, how it could collapse, and to what extent we, in the UK, are prepared for that. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/enviro...
