Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Nice to be home after a busy travels, but what a treat to present our work at @eurosla.bsky.social in the beautiful #Tromsø. Always lovely to meet up with old and new friends. Lots of inspiring presentations and discussions to digest now!

Grateful for such an inspiring week at my first @isbilingualism.bsky.social. Lots to digest as we reluctantly leave the beautiful San Sebastian!
