"Many of the facile defenses of Kirk and his legacy are predicated on the idea that it’s acceptable to spread hateful ideas advocating for the persecution of perceived enemies as long you dress them up in a posture of debate." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Europe is doubling down on cruelty. In my latest article for @aljazeera.com, I break down how Greece and the UK’s migration plans are racist, dehumanising, and doomed to fail. Deterrence doesn’t stop migration — it just spreads suffering. 👉 aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

Anyway I documented and analysed all of this in detail in my @versobooks.bsky.social book. Which is to say I've been thinking and working on the politics and impacts of this for more than a decade and I know what I'm talking about. www.versobooks.com/products/277...

The Labour government are desperate to spin the ‘we can do nothing it’s the criminal gangs’ argument because they think it absolves them of their racist inhumanity. It doesn’t. The gangs are a symptom of that racist inhumanity.

The fucking chutzpah of this woman. I watched her get emotional on a beach in Lesvos in 2015 as boats arrived. She knows exactly how it works. So what was it Yvette fake tears back in 2015 or did you sell your soul for power?

#Greece 's decision to suspend asylum claims for asylum seekers arriving from North Africa (central Mediterranean route) violates international law and should not be seen in isolation from the EU's migration policies. I spoke to Inside Story about this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdDE... #RefugeesGR

#Newsnight I heard figures who appear capable of reading research claim no #IDcards & 'liberal' UK economy with a grey labour market pulls ppl to claim asylum. As someone who has focused for 20 years on evidencing labour market exploitation of asylum seekers, I must categorically refute these claims

“Whether to use the feminist label for German foreign and development policy then becomes a question of political will.” Karoline Färber writes: www.e-ir.info/2025/04/21/o...

When abused domestic workers in Saudi Arabia asked Kenya's embassy for help, officials responded with insults and demands for sex and money. Read the second part of our investigation into how diplomats and foreign ministry officials profit off the misery of stranded women.

Wild. Top is the NBC upload, bottom is the one aired as the live feed

The 1% have always been hand in hand with fascism, the only difference now is that they are reclaiming it under freedom of speech and American democracy.

In an hour from now, I’ll be live on Al Jazeera at 18.15 GMT to discuss the decision of several European countries to put asylum applications by Syrians on hold after the fall of Assad’s regime. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/gCNeDWC...

Yesterday was my last day of teaching at Anglia Ruskin University for this academic term. I have to say it was a bittersweet end of the term. It was an exhausting term but I loved it. So here are some reflections:
