Since it is apparently up to self-appointed, middle-aged white British men to decide who truly is or is not British, I’ve decided Matt Goodwin isn’t.

Being handed down tomorrow. This might explain why we haven't heard much from the Afghanistan Inquiry lately:

Last week: 'He said the measures sought... “would amount to a collateral attack on an international agreement”, which would compel the Government to “exercise prerogative powers of treaty-making and international relations in a particular way...".' www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10...

We have just advertised a Full Prof position in the Political and Social Sciences department at the EUI (@eui-sps.bsky.social). Here are the details. Please spread the word, and get in touch if you have any questions. www.eui.eu/Documents/Se...

And that's how it's done.

I feel like "we've made an app that gives people psychosis and here's how many people we've sent insane" is past late-stage capitalism. It's some new stage of previously unforeseen horrors beyond human imagination.

Though the report contains the facts, this headline and standfirst misreport what happened. The junior whip Katie Lam correctly stated the policy: revoking ILR retrospectively was Tory policy from May 5th to yesterday. The leader has ditched that policy. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

In Sudan, the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces are "killing at a scale and a velocity that I haven't seen since Rwanda,” says human rights investigator Nathaniel Raymond.

As Nimer says 👇🏾 www.soas.ac.uk/about/news/s...

Julia Sebutinde is actively using her position as an ICJ judge to support Israel’s genocide in order to realize biblical prophesy. That should be disqualifying but instead it seems to have won her the vice-presidency of the ICJ. bsky.app/profile/nime...

"It does not matter what you call it. Whether you call it 'Israel is our ally', 'Judeo-Christian values', 'maintaining qualitative military advantage', 'Staatsräson'... the oucome, practically, of all of these, is that the Israeli boot remains on the Palestinian neck."

An entire segment of the population is being repeatedly told that ’illegal immigration‘ - which is in fact barely 5% of immigration - is the dominant problem in this country. This is a media-driven phenomenon.

I will start telling my students that the biggest chance for them to succeed in the future job market is to spend their entire (under-)graduate studies learning how to think for themselves. If they survive this hardship & frustration, they’ll eventually outdo everyone cutting corners #AI #ContraAI 🤖

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Now that the self-determination book is out I have tons of sources that I never got to use - especially leaflets, art, cartoons. Here is a sample, but more can be found on my website under "Self-Determination Documents" in the Art folder www.bradleyrsimpson.com/self-determi...

IMF warns of rising odds of 'disorderly' global market correction www.reuters.com/business/fin... "Global markets are too comfortable with risks, including trade wars, geopolitical tensions and yawning government deficits" Also 👀 Non-banks "now holds roughly half of the world's financial assets"

The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a communication with the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC, providing details of 24 individuals allegedly responsible for the killing of Hind Rajab, 6 members of her family, and two Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics www.hindrajabfoundation.org/posts/her-na...

*FIFTEEN THOUSAND JOBS LOST*. If this were in a sector in which the PM could go and do a photoshoot looking like One Of The People, we’d have had a government intervention by now.

I'll be speaking today at the publiclawproject.bsky.social's Annual Conference ("Strengthening the Constitution" @hsfkramer.bsky.social ) on a wonderful panel on "Race & the UK Constitution". If there, please say hello! Thanks to Nicole Chen for the invite! @soasLAW @raceukconstitution.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @TheTimes)

Is the UK the "dirty man of Europe"? Apparently so - our bathing water is 5x worse than the EU's. "Once again, when it comes to environmental regulation, enforcement and protecting people’s health, the European Union leads the charge." @pimlicat.bsky.social

‘Whatever Graeber is writing about, whether it is the history of democracy or the relationship between slavery and debt, he is usually trying to solve a problem in the present or to expose its latent potential.’ @leninology.bsky.social on David Graeber: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Keir on the tv saying he wants to 'make people feel better off.' You could work on making us BE better off, maybe?

Not impressed by Lord Verdirame's arguments here, specifically:  1) his lack of attention to the recognised right of Palestinians to self-determination in international law (including the right of those under colonial rule to armed resistance). www.ejiltalk.org/the-british-...

From a report today on @npr.org: People held at Alligator Auschwitz have no legal path out. ICE says they're held on state charges, so Federal immigration judges can't hear cases for bond or anything else. The state hasn't charged them, so state judges can't hear the case because there's no case. 1/

A parliamentary report has been leaked, and it confirms that Canada has been exporting military goods to Israel, including in 2024. I reached out to Minister Anand’s office about this newly public report. They said it's accurate -- but it doesn't contradict their statements. How? Let's discuss:

In December 2024, five months after an initial warning from Dutch intelligence, Lieutenant Cayley, a former military prosecutor, received a direct threat: "I was directly threatened, and I was told that I was an enemy of the state of Israel and I needed to watch my back."

How higher education is going. Student pretends to write an essay, Prof pretends to mark it.

The global trade in human #skulls and body parts was initiated in Europe’s #Enlightenment and lasted at least 150 more years after the celebrated #abolition of the infamous #slave trade. This other trade in human flesh illustrates how deeply embedded race and racism are in the #history of #science.

The rich don’t get rich by working harder. They get rich because the tax system is designed to reward wealth, not work. This article explains how – and what we could do instead. Based on a blog post by Prof Richard Murphy. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @stephenmcnair.bsky.social
