Striking how difficult the later stages of the World Cup will be for many teams- especially those not used to extreme heat and humidity.

Almost four years after the term was coined (below), I'm chairing an event on 'The Politics of Deliverism' at this years #Lab25. Is deliverism enough to win? Come along if you're free (and have a conference pass!)
I’m coining the term ā€˜deliverism’ as a complement to ā€˜popularism.’ @ddayen focuses on this. Deliver and it helps you win elections. Don’t deliver and you lose. By ā€˜deliver’ I mean govern well using all levers available.

Extreme weather caused by climate change causes floods at clubs like @LeatherheadFC meaning cancelled matches and the stars of the future can't get games in. I've teamed up with @RoundOurWayUK to highlight how devastating floods are for the future of football. #SaveOurSport #Ad
