How do people feel about the term "data-driven research"? I hear it a lot, and - as an epidemiologist - it makes me cringe. If your research is exploratory, then you can reasonably adopt a "data-driven" approach. But for inferential research, I believe your analysis should by theory-driven.

I am very excited to be returning to LSE and joining @lsepublicpolicy.bsky.social. Eager to help develop this already fantastic policy school, co-teach with @alicirone.bsky.social, and launch a new course on "Designing Democracy”.

It's possible that these reports *do* mean the government's proposed legislation will give such sweeping powers to amend existing laws by Order, but if we're just talking about awarding Minister the power to adopt EU rules via regulations, those aren't strictly speaking "Henry VIII powers".
