Now both Reform & the Conservatives are clamouring to leave the ECHR, we should perhaps pause before this turns into Brexit 2.0. It’s vital that people understand what the ECHR actually is and what losing it would mean. This funny short video explains it. www.instagram.com/reel/DOAmhDb...

Anyone want to sort out their #gut #health ? You might want to try this. I really like it and have felt a great improvement in energy too. This gets 30% off #myota myotahealth.refr.cc/30-campaign/...

Is going to #university still worth it? General public think 40% of students regret going to university but in fact it’s much lower at just 8%. Nice to hear some optimistic voices about the future of #UKHE for a change. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Having been through one of these over 20 years ago, these kinds of institutional mergers are torturous. Sending strength and solidarity to all those involved ✊🏼 #highereducation #UKHE #universitites #fundingcrisis www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Had a great 2 night stay in #Paris but just saw #circles everywhere 🔴⚪️🔵

Had one of those “glad to be alive” nights with my husband tonight. We started with lovely Spanish food & wine then a fabulous high NRG gig with Nile Rodgers & Chic - there is nothing like the collective experience of good music & dancing to lift your ❤️

Ok so we are all in the grip of a woke bias and carrying out faulty thinking. Academics are to blame for the woke wreckage at universities www.thetimes.com/article/09e3...

Surprising how much public perception and media narratives about regret in Higher Education differ from the actual experiences. The reality isn’t always what headlines suggest. #UKHE #graduate #regret www.timeshighereducation.com/news/public-...

Ely Cathedral is delightful. The audio guide is so well designed. I am enchanted by the story of Saint Etheldreda and will have to learn more.

Watching this young man being so superb at what he does while obviously loving it makes me so happy 😁 #Alcaraz

An great example of when having a little bit of impostor syndrome might be a good thing … #reform #doge #kent eastangliabylines.co.uk/politics/loc...

Kenan Malik: British values aren’t colour-coded Immigration and identity are important subjects, but racialising them is not the answer

Re-visiting the May celebration of Los Patios in Cordoba with my old Uni friend celebrating the fact we are still having fun 40 years after our “study” year abroad here in 1985. Glorious 🥰

Trump treats Saudi like an ATM. MBS clings to $100 oil fantasies. But China’s EV blitz is crushing demand, reshaping global power and energy markets. OPEC+ is crumbling. Oil’s era is ending—and these two dinosaurs are too deluded to see it. They truly deserve each other. #EVRevolution #EndofOil #EVs

So disappointed in Labour after desperately wanting them in power after 14 years of Tories. I cancelled my membership, wrote to my MP to tell him to feedback to the party how pandering to Reform crowd is damaging core party support & frankly bad for the Uk Not for 1st time wish I was in Australia.

I recently co-authored & circulated (with @polphilpod.bsky.social ) an open letter against Starmer’s anti-immigrant rules & rhetoric. Over 100 of my UK-based colleagues signed it. Read the whole thing here: www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/starmer

This is so disappointing from Labour There we all were in #UKHE waiting for a different attitude to student immigration & development of sensible policy maybe even taking international students out of immigration stats. But this feels too similar to the last 14 years & I’m done 👋🏽

For anyone who's just seen Yvette Cooper talking about the immigration white paper, I set out some of the evidence and facts here. [1/?] www.independent.co.uk/voices/tight...

Tom was an excellent mentor and colleague and this award is such a great way to celebrate all the fantastic work he did in learning development at #Londonmet ❤️

Must be Easter. Our neighbours make these every year for our now very large adult kids 🥰

What mess is being made by US “government efficiency” How stressful for all these workers especially those in remote jobs who had no allocated offices anyway. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

Not always a day filled with love and gratitude for all

No point whatsoever being on X anymore. Just leave. You will not miss it. Musk needs to feel it from all sides.

Lots of work to do. Why does it take so long to change for women? #internationalwomensday
