With the first big electoral tests of the 2019 Parliament just days away, seems like a good moment to confirm the forthcoming book "The British General Election of 2019" - co-authored with
@ProfTimBale @drjennings & @p_surridge
will be coming to all good bookstores this autumn

The team and I have spoken to all the key players in all the parties to give you the definitive account of what happened in the election campaign, and the Parliament preceding it. All the big choices & controversies examined with testimony from those in the room when it happened

Nor is that all, not by a long shot! We have a stellar cast of guest contributors, including analysis of the Brexit process from @anandMenon1 and @DrAlanWager of
@UKandEU ; politics in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland examined by @ailsa_henderson @roger_scully
and @JonTonge

...examination of the role of the press in the campaign from @DNDeacon David Smith and Dominic Wring, a look at candidates, MPs and the changing composition of Parliament with @ProfRosieCamp @J_A_Hudson and @chrisbutlerpol
...

...series veteran @philipjcowley returns to open the book with an account of how we got to the election, and the psephological a-team @whatukthinks @StephenDFisher and @PME_Politics run the rule over the new electoral map of Britain....

...we complement that with a brand new analysis of the election results at the individual level using @BESResearch data to understand the changes reshaping our politics short and long term

The choices facing all the parties today are framed by the consequences of the last election, and the chaotic Parliament which preceded it. We hope our book will help understand that election. Coming soon!

Researching and writing a book during a pandemic is challenging, to put it mildly! But working with such a smart, creative and just generally lovely team has made meeting that challenge much more enjoyable. Thanks to Paula, Tim, Will and all of our amazing contributors.

(Sorry for any confusion everyone - had to delete the thread and do it over because I manage to get the title wrong first time around!!)
