I am so excited to see this article out! Published today, my latest article reviews work within human geography on climate futures, and work outside of human geography on queer time. Here, I argue that planetary imaginaries are entangled in the policing of intimacies.

Our methodological critique of The Cass Review has been peer-reviewed published & is therefore way more authoritative than Cass which is un-peer-reviewed.
Streeting/Starmer can no longer claim Cass is “gold standard” or “landmark”.
Cass is just junk science.
