In a poll from August Cameron rated as a better PM than any that followed him but worse (in terms of net rating) than any that came before him. So not popular but less unpopular than most Tories.

Obituary: Former US President Jimmy Carter
The US president struggled in the White House and served just one term, but later won a Nobel Peace prize.

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…)

I use the case of #UKAsylumPolicy, to explore the paradox of negative protection - practices that claim to offer protection whilst simultaneously making those protected systematically vulnerable.

Johan Galtung – Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO)
Johan Galtung passed away this morning. He was born in 1930 on 24 October, the same day that 15 years later would see the founding of the United Nations.

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

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger dies aged 100
For decades he played a pivotal, and sometimes polarising, role in US foreign policy.

Always difficult to reconcile my finding books by #Kissinger interesting (even enjoyable) and his atrocious disregard for human life.

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.
