Out today! My new co-authored book, TAKING CONTROL: SOVEREIGNTY AND DEMOCRACY AFTER BREXIT. Answering questions like: what *is* the EU? Why did the UK vote to leave? Why was it so hard? And why is everything still so dire? (1/12)

Hmm, perhaps I spoke too soon about the decline of Neoliberal Order Breakdown Syndrome. This is from POLITY, which seeks to "measure" democracy, based on coding from academic experts.
“The ‘liberal’ order is not simply ‘breaking down’ but mutating in such a way that the election of a right-wing populist provides less of a shocking break from the norm.” @DrLeeJones on the reaction to Trump’s election.

Buried in this Washington Post report on Trump's proposal to ethnically cleanse Gaza is an admission from a Western diplomat in Cairo that Biden and European govts proposed the same thing. Trump's faux pas is to have said it publicly.

So this is how Musk is (falsely) going to claim he slashed "billions" in "woke" spending - classifying as "DEI" things like scholarships for Myanmar students whose education was disrupted by a brutal military coup and civil war.
Following up on the $45 million in DEI scholarships in Burma. This has been cancelled.

Editors, think it's hard to get reviewers now? I'll boycott every journal that adopts this moronic approach and encourage others to do so, too. All submissions should be treated on their own merit. No cross-contamination of judgements, please. 2/2

Are any of Denmark's NATO allies going to defend it from this thuggish menacing of its sovereign territory? Or does the "rules based order" apply only to powers other than the US? #rhetoricalquestion

Liberals just tinker round the edges, fomenting more public anger. Populists just pretend to solve the issue through amateur dramatics, while really just leveraging it to foment even more anger that they can exploit. Both are deeply cynical. 7/7

Blah, blah. Europe's right-wing populists always bleat on about pulling out of supranational organisations, then they always adopt the British left's approach: remain and reform. Easier to stay so you can have a scapegoat for your failures.

Not the old Cold War, anyway. There are definite New Cold War vibes but there will be no simple return to the past - mainly just the decay of the existing order.
No, there’s no vibe shift towards another Cold War. Instead, we get the rot and decay of American hegemony — @DrLeeJones
