#icymi - research by @jamcjo @PoliticsLeicsU into the 'juridification' of politics informs this article by @ChrisMasonBBC, giving an insight into Keir Starmer's approach to politics in advance of his recent meeting with President Trump. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y6…

Chris Mason: Can opposites Trump and Starmer find common ground?

The prime minister and the new president of the United States are rather different characters.

The cancer of DEI is running deep through Britain. It must be eradicated from the public sector and our wider society, urgently. Let's call it what it is - anti-white racism. I absolutely detest it. I want to live in a meritocracy.

Thank you to the editorial team and the anonymous reviewers. The final manuscript benefited considerably from their insight and judgement. I've been working on this manuscript for over a decade in one form of another. I am indebted to many, none more so than Mick Dillon...

For several years I repeatedly found myself on panels with Mick offering my reflections on his work. Each time, I was struck by his generosity, humility and genuine enthusiasm for scholarship - even that which nudged at his limits.
