@academicpiracy @UKAPA_1918 Thanks Bruce. Looking forward to seeing you next year!

Had an absolute blast at #ukapa2024! @UKAPA_1918 and @karinbottom did an amazing job with everything. I’m already looking forward to next year in Belfast!

Presenting on my research into all things #DowningStreet #ChiefOfStaff at the #UKAPA2024, today. Looking forward to discussing what it is that the CoS actually does and, as importantly, why it is so difficult to actually identify that.

@ThanassiGouglas Thank you - great to see you!

Very much enjoyed the inaugural #ukapa2024 conference at the University of Birmingham!

@ian_c_elliott @journal_pad @MangaiMary @UKAPA_1918 Thank you! Great session!

@AdinaDudau @UKAPA_1918 Thank you and great to see you!

Another great conference this month, this time the inaugural @UKAPA_1918 conference, a welcome and welcoming stage for public administration scholars to get together & exchange ideas. Very productive couple of days, thanks @karinbottom! Nice catching up with this good bunch, too!

🧵on our work on b’ham city council quoted in the FT today. Key takeaways: 🔺the bankruptcy was triggered on the wrong basis 🔺This had disastrous effects as unnecessary cuts & asset sales were rushed through 🔺Another recovery plan is still possible ft.com/content/0afe61…

@ian_c_elliott Enjoy while it lasts, meanwhile, 250 miles down south we have grey clouds!

I've been absolutely horrified by the racist and Islamophobic violence on UK streets in the past week. The full force of the law needs to be brought to bear on the thugs. Now let's unite to build an inclusive, equal, non-discriminatory society. The UK is better than this.

Very much looking forward to reading this!

"As a Green MP I'd like to see much bolder action being talked about" The #KingsSpeech doesn't go far enough. Insulation. Building standards. Rent controls. Green MPs will be pushing Labour to do better.

@Jasonfrombrum Huge congratulations to your daughter Jason! I hope you all had a lovely day!

Proud dad moment. Huge congratulations K ❣️

@EllieChowns Very belated congratulations Ellie. Absolutely delighted to see you and your colleagues elected!

This morning I was sworn in as an MP. Now the real work begins, with the King’s Speech next Wednesday followed by several days of debate.

This is really good to see!

Apply for this! Excellent post with excellent people!

It’s been less than a hundred years since women in Britain have had the right to vote. This Manchester banner was unfurled in 1903 - it would be 25 years before the suffragettes’ dream was finally realised. Make sure you use that hard-won right today!

On the day of #GeneralElection2024, it's worth re-reading this brilliant piece from @JenWilliams_FT which offers a lucid account of the depth and impact of regional inequalities & what needs to be fixed by the next government ⤵️ ft.com/content/4c9efa…

@dfarrell_ucd Thanks David!

@ProfJohnDiamond @Nonprofit_PhD Congratulations - well deserved!

JPAE is the top ranked SOTL journal in PA, 34/91 in all PA & 144/756 of all Ed journals. Sara & I hustle to have manuscripts turned around quickly & with quality feedback! We’re so proud to be a part of JPAE!

Brilliant take on the Labour's school teeth-brushing idea from fellow @CoSS_Birmingham researcher @teachertarot. Using teachers as catch-all policy delivery agents (from policing to public health) intensifies workload and exacerbates the teacher shortage. blog.bham.ac.uk/socialsciences…
