The Most Powerful Politics Influencers Barely Post About Politics New research shows that social media creators have enormous influence over their audiences' politics—especially those who don't normally share political content.

Researchers find that influencers influence. New experimental evidence for old theories around opinion leaders, parasocial relationships, and persuasion, with implications for political messaging in our digitally connected era.

Do #training subsidies improve worker outcomes? Using the German case, Christine Dauth @iabnews.bsky.social shows that training #subsidies significantly increase cumulative #employment duration and #earnings in the short run and middle run for workers, especially #women.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

There are two patterns of defection from the Portuguese Socialist Party (PS): towards the radical left and the radical right.

A Constança Cunha Sá vai fazer muita falta. Depois de uma carreira no jornalismo que passou por vários jornais e revistas, conheci-a como uma voz independente, divertida, e destemida. Nunca tinha medo de ir à guerra, fosse com quem fosse. Ficamos mais pobres sem ela. Descanse em paz.

The Economic Impact of Brexit Other

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Sondagem. Pela primeira vez, Gouveia e Melo não lidera. Marques Mendes à frente, Ventura logo atrás. O ex-almirante passa para terceiro, atrás de Ventura e de Marques Mendes mas dentro da margem de erro de 4%. Ventura perderia contra todos os três da frente numa segunda volta.
