The EU's Brexit Mistakes - Part 3: Mishandling Brexit

Britain has made numerous mistakes over Brexit, but the European Union's record also needs to be analysed. In this third and final part of a three-part series for the Clingendael Spectator, I look at some of the ways in which the rest of the EU has mishandled Brexit.

BBC Sunday Politics

I appeared on yesterday's BBC Sunday Politics to discuss the idea of a fully devolved government for London. We put together a short video about why a London Parliament and First Minister are the best way to face a capital city growing increasingly distinct from the rest of the UK.

Returning to London

Happy to announce that when my year as a Jean Monnet Fellow at the European University Institute Florence ends this summer I’ll be headed back to London to take up a senior lectureship at Loughborough University London. I'll be based in the Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance. It's the perfect location from which to write on Brexit, Britain's place in the world and, of course, London. 

London: The UK's Undiscovered Country

In a piece out today with the British Academy I explore why UK political science needs to pay more attention to the capital city. London is increasingly the UK's undiscovered country hiding in plain sight. We often overlook it as a political space and UK political science is the poorer for it.
