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.

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

Can you separate the art from the artist, when the art and the artist have caused so much suffering?
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.
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.

Wow, the man responsible for the UK’s worst foreign policy disaster of the 21st Century, appointed as Foreign Secretary.
