@nigelfletcher @QMUL @MileEndInst Congratulations Nigel - great news for you and a fantastic appointment for QMUL!

I am so pleased and proud to be returning to my old uni at @QMUL to join the team at the excellent @MileEndInst as an honorary research fellow. My interest in opposition and political institutions began there a quarter of a century ago, so this is a delightful homecoming.

Available to purchase from all half decent book stores - and probably some good ones too… More info here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

We’re very happy and looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. I consider myself *very* lucky to be with @Louise_Jones_MP.

I finished my PhD over a year ago, but I’m glad I finally got to graduate last Friday and share a special day with my loved ones 🙏🏾

As we have done for every election since 1979, @IpsosUK has produced estimates of how Britain voted. (Very) long thread of key findings follows – or see the data for yourselves here: ipsos.com/en-uk/how-brit…
