The End of Self‐Regulation: Will the Football Governance Act 2025 Fix the National Game?

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
The Football Governance Act 2025 is a watershed. It upends the model of self‐regulation that has defined how the game has been run in England and Wales for over a century‐and‐a‐half. The newly created Independent Football Regulator will exercise control over clubs, owners, and competition organisers.

Blueprint of a smokescreen: Introducing the validated climate disinformation corpus for behavioural research on combating climate disinformation

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Behavioural science research has the potential to develop evidence‐based strategies to fight disinformation about climate science and climate mitigation action; however, this research has yet to be conducted systematically with validated sets of climate disinformation stimuli. Here, we present the Climate Disinformation Corpus, a collection of
