Northern Discomfort: An analysis of the Liberal Democrat performance in the 2017 General Election
Introduction Having spent months out campaigning, first for the County Council elections, and then the general election in 2017, I took a break afterwards by examining the election results!

(1) This was achieved, however, against a slightly lower vote share of 7.4%, compared to the already-low point of 7.9% in 2015, and an accompanying further decline in our vote in many seats.

A digital world fit for the next generation
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.

Britain’s nuclear deterrent depends on Trump. It’s time to change that
If the answer to “Is our nuclear deterrent working?” depends on what Donald Trump had for breakfast, then the answer is no, it’s not. And our deterrent is not truly independent.
