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

Two of the five Reform MPs elected last year back a policy on migration that is effectively more extreme than the former BNP position.

If you want to read more, keep an eye out for an article @juanroch.bsky.social, @daniel-balinhas.bsky.social and I are writing about this

It's crucial to counter claims that polarisation (much like populism) is always bad The middle ground between racism and anti-racism, transphobia and trans rights, genocide and anti-genocide is complicit with racism, transphobia and genocide rather than the "reasonable" position

If, instead of taking the far right at their word, this kind of coverage was the norm, it would be clear to all that racism is always the motivation that women and children are the least of their (illegitimate) concerns See also transphobia www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

"For those arrested by one police force, this figure was as high as 68%. Previous offences include actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, stalking, breach of restraint and non-molestation orders, controlling coercive behaviour and criminal damage."

The mainstream right wing press is desperate for a race riot.

For all the talks about concerns over disinformation, the mainstream media have been a key agent in the mainstreaming of far right politics by: - covering them disproportionately - hyping moral panics - platforming their bad faith actors as legitimate bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

🤡🤡🤡

Two things here. (i) This is a discrimination case waiting to happen: potential indirect relig discrim in accessing a service, with no clear-cut justification defence on the table. (ii) There's also a wider constitutional issue. MPs are supposed to represent & be accessible to their constituents. 1/
