As 2014 draws to a close we’re reflecting on a fantastic year for Policy & Politics. There have been some exceptional papers in the journal, and the special issue on Depoliticisation was a real highlight. The conference in September was a great success, and David Blunkett MP delivered an excellent annual lecture. We hope you’ve enjoyed this year as much as we have, and we look forward to more good times for Policy & Politics in 2015.

Blame too much sherry or end-of-year-giddiness, but we’ve written something to amuse you and close the year:
