As so often, blue Labour very unclear about what its rhetoric means. A good case for challenging initiatives that appear unfair/unbalanced (eg: sentencing council). Do Blue Labour "root out DEI" oppose/support Reform's proposal to repeal the 2010 Equality Act? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Truss believes a government that banned pride marches and LGBT materials and in effect expelled a university is an epitome of freedom

This was 2018 in Meadow Park. Our first ever #AWFC match. It feels so amazing to see this team become champions of Europe, again!

submitted 11 days ago • 0 comments

We started following this team 7 years ago, when they played in a much smaller Meadow Park stadium. Watching them reach the top of European football at a packed room inside the Emirates stadium sounds like a dream. So proud of #AWFC! #EveryoneWatchesWomensSports #Arsenal #Gunners

Sunder does a brilliant job explaining the conflicting reality between the changes in attitudes and the lived experience of ethnic minorities (particularly in the online space)

"Katwala's paradox of racism" In a demonstrably less prejudiced society (attitudes shifted, esp across generations), I am in receipt of much more racism Minorities in 2020s have more equal opps than ever before - esp at very top - yet an increasingly unequal experience of more equal opportunities

People are correctly comparing the Trump attack on Harvard to Orban’s aggression against CEU, but I recall colleagues/students having (not much, but some) time to see options and consider relocation. The US admin is much faster, more irrational. Truly on steroids.

"Will a complicated (and costly) mitigation of the policy be sufficient – symbolically and substantively – to cut through to a disappointed electorate? Successful U-turns have tended to be big and bold" Think John Major scrapping the poll tax.

Ended one place above relegation and yet managed to win a European cup. That says a lot about the level of the Premier League.

After losing Erasmus, international study programmes became much more elitist than before. The Erasmus grant was the gateway for many working class students to study abroad and gain invaluable experiences. It was a shame to see it go.

The unbelievable condescension we’re already seeing today towards working class people- suggesting they don’t travel to Europe or their kids might not want to go to university and study in Europe- is quite something to behold.

Just one university - UCL - employs almost twice as many people as there are working in fishing boats.

A reminder that more people are employed in the yoga industry than there are registered fishers working in the UK.

Beautiful poem by Michael Rosen on the stupid and harmful notion of the "Island of Strangers"

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters. I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

My timeline this morning. These narratives are likely to drive especially the highly educated high earners - who do have a choice on where to live - away, who the government, I assume, actually wants to keep.

This is bullshit. You can say there are costs, you can even claim the costs outweigh the benefits. But to say that immigration has caused incalculable damage is not just hugely offensive to millions of people and their families, but simply empirically demonstrably wrong

submitted 23 days ago • 22 comments

One again, this is simply not true. Non-UK origin employeea have (slightly) higher median earnings than UK-origin ones -and the gap has if anything widened (slightly) recently.

I came to the UK right at the beginning of the hostile environment. The treatment and narrative of immigration has worsened over the years, especially around Brexit. I never expected Labour to ramp up the hostile discourse this much, this is disgraceful and disappointing.

submitted 23 days ago • 1 comment

This is an absolutely disastrous framing to adopt. “Immigration beings great gains but it needs to be controlled to maximise benefits” was/is right there on the table. Instead they have opted to lead with the strongest possible “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” headline.

A chart to highlight the problem Labour faces on immigration - it is true some Labour voters want to see immigration reduce, a similar sized group want to see it increased and a slightly smaller but significant group put themselves in the middle. But these figures alone.... /1

This encapsulates Labour's crazy approach to communications. Most academics would love a squeeze on executive pay. This could be a good news story, aligning govt with students & staff. But they sell it as an attack on "universities", which alienates support & feeds a critique it can't satisfy.
