Unfortunately, this year I could only attend the last day of the @socialpolicyuk.bsky.social Annu Conference - impeccably hosted by the University of York. But I still thoroughly enjoyed it; managing to catch up with many friends from all over the world (quite a few from East Asia, this year!).

I was at #Derby Child #Poverty Summit event today. It was quite inspiring to see people from across sectors working together to identify concrete actions to improve the health, well-being and opportunities of young people. I look forward to the next steps leading to an overall city-wide strategy.

Big thanks to those who took part in the #IPHIR (Interdisciplinary Partnership on Health Inequalities and Race) networking event yesterday. Great projects, great speakers, great human beings exploring new ways to tackle inequalities. A pleasure to co-host with Lopa Leach.

Today's news: Immigration to the UK is up. Is this a failure of Brexit? Not really. Brexit has achieved exactly what it was expected* to achieve. Not a reduction of immigration; but a reduction of rights among migrants (e.g. no more EU migrants with entitlements similar to UK nationals) 🧵

I really enjoyed the NHS Research Engagement Network (REN) event today. Inspiring projects on how to make health research more inclusive. I look forward to working more with Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust on this. (Our scoping workshop on health inequalities is next week!)

As I argued before, Italy and the UK are 2 key cases of trend-setting and European convergence on migration policy. As odd as it may seem, it's nothing new. Beyond Brexit, geopolitical differences and contingent party politics. But never as clearly as today. This was last month.
