What a total scorcher today 🥵Carrying on my tradition of having worn shorts to every EISA event since 2018 #EWIS2025

Kicking it off in budget airline style for #EWIS2025. Looking forward to being in Krakow for the first time since 1999.

Does anyone else miss slow news days?

Yep, my son was born here in 2015 and I can concur, it’s truly dreadful…#OurNHS www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Sad to hear about the passing of Jimmy Carter…as US Presidents go, a genuinely decent guy. Sorely underrated for his foreign policy and a pioneer of human rights diplomacy. (Back when human rights were an aspirational thing of course…) www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just published in the latest issue of European Journal of International Security My new article "From Negative to Positive Internationalised Protection" Exploring how we understand #protection and the deliberate gaps that lead to chronic precarity for #refugees tinyurl.com/mrbxepcv

Going to #EISAPEC24? Why not submit your paper/panel proposals to the ST08 International Society section! We love all things international society-related, and welcome diverse methodological and theoretical perpsectives. pec2024.eisa-net.org/abstract-sub... @europeanisa.bsky.social #polisky

Sad news about the passing of Johan Galtung. So important in transforming our understanding of peace and violence, and very significant influence on my thinking right up to now. Love introducing my Critical Military Studies students to his work. #PeaceStudies #IR www.prio.org/news/3505

Published today in European Journal of International Security! My new article “From negative to positive internationalised protection: Attenuated solidarity and the practice of refugee protection" www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #refugees #asylum #r2p #ProtectionOfCivilians #polisky

Sad to say goodbye to Ulrich West today. A great family friend, wonderful artist and amazing person. Rest easy Ulrich. mafa.org.uk/artist_profi...

Can you separate the art from the artist, when the art and the artist have caused so much suffering? Always difficult to reconcile my finding books by #Kissinger interesting (even enjoyable) and his atrocious disregard for human life. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-u...

Now awaiting predictable attack on “woke/lefty/tofu-eating” lawyers/ judges/international legal frameworks (delete as appropriate) #RwandaPlan #asylum #UKSupremeCourt

How do you spell non-refoulement Rishi? #RwandaPlan #UKSupremeCourt www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk...

Oddly, given that the performance bar is so low, appointing a failed (but less atrociously unpopular) former PM could potentially work for them.

Wow, the man responsible for the UK’s worst foreign policy disaster of the 21st Century, appointed as Foreign Secretary. There really is a talent vacuum… #UKForeignPolicy #Brexit

Bagged some classics from Kingbee Records in Chorlton today. CDs are ace…cooler than vinyl, more convenient and sound way better #unpopularopinion

Hello BlueSky, I’m Johnny. It’s tough starting out on a new social media platform on a day with such dreadful news. The world is indeed on fire… www.bbc.co.uk/news/busines...
