New article for @ourworldindata.org with @hannahritchie.bsky.social: American foreign aid saved millions of lives each year.

We find that parents/grandparents with financially struggling younger family members are both numerous and more likely to support policies and parties that help younger generations, with things like home buying:

Me in @prospectmagazine.co.uk following up on a Substack I wrote earlier this summer. Come for the unnecessary discussion of Crystal Palace in the 1990s, stay for the reference to Jesse Plemons.

Who’s ‘white British’? Who cares?

Politicians seem to be fuelling racist debate about what it means to be British, rather than calling it out

I'm truly honored to receive this year's Kershaw Award. I came into the policy research world almost by accident after a failed stint in the Australian Baseball League. To have my work recognized like this is a testament to the wonderful mentors and colleagues I've learned from these past 10 years.

Just out, here’s me chatting to Fat Tony and Steve Lamacq about the state of Britain’s nightlife and engaging in an extended and possibly unnecessary trip to my past and famed Oasis show in 1994 at the Tunbridge Wells Forum. Plus my corniest ever payoff. What’s not to love?

The UK's nightlife sector is on its knees, so can - and should - it be saved?

Overall, the essays point to the interconnected nature of nuclear challenges across the globe and the vital role that domestic politics plays in shaping nuclear politics.

Alongside an introductory essay, the roundtable contains papers by experts on the nuclear politics of the Korean Peninsula, China, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America.
