It seems to me that we are surrounded by enormous problems, and, bewilderingly, this does not seem to lead to introspection or self-doubt. It leads to all of us loudly proclaiming how confident we are in our opinion. Well if we are so sure we did everything right, why is democracy in such a mess?

This is superbly written and speaks for many of us ‘strangers’

My letter to the Prime Minister. #immigration
Slightly amended so I can fit this here: I am writing to you as an immigrant who chose to make the UK my home. As someone who is now also a British citizen. And as a German-born historian who understands where the complete normalisation of the far right can end. I write to say: For shame! I first came to the UK in the 1990s for a visit with my grandmother. Objectively, much was backwards here. No mixer taps in the bathroom; awful ‘bread’; and strings had to be pulled to switch on lights. But however I felt about this, my own string had been pulled: I loved this Cool Britannia. It was quite possibly then that I decided that the UK was to be my home. When I arrived to settle here permanently, I made a choice: to contribute my skills, my knowledge—all I have to offer—to this country rather than another one. I am deeply disgusted by your comment today that immigration has done ‘incalculable damage’ to the country. This is the language of the far right. It is insulting, hateful & will fuel xenophobia. And it is just wrong. Migration is a normal part of the human existence. None of us would be where we are without it. Open your fridge and you will see migration. Immigrants help make the UK tick every single day, whether we clean toilets in our hospitals or provide care for the elderly; whether we empty our bins or carry out cancer research. We are mothers, sons-in-law, aunts and uncles, friends, neighbours and colleagues. I ask you not tell me that you do not mean me. I know that you do not—at least not primarily—mean a white woman from Europe who has a PhD. But who do you mean? And, much more importantly, who do you think those racists who were engaged in riots on our streets last summer think you mean? Anti-immigration narratives have defined UK policymaking for the best part of two decades. And fundamentally so. They were the key driver in delivering Brexit, for example, and, as such, have directly limited the rights and opportunities of British citizens. This obsessive focus on immigration as the ‘problem’—that is the real problem. And it is consistently delivering poor outcomes for the UK. Instead of tackling this, you are choosing to consolidate it, sowing divisions along the way. You may point me to polling and tell me that this is what voters want. Do they? I am not surprised at all that over 50% of voters might say they want to see immigration reduced if that is the question they are being asked. What we need to know is what they would answer to the question: “Would you like to see immigration reduced? What this would mean for you and your local community is XYZ.” That is not how surveys can ask questions, but governments absolutely can choose to make policy using such a more informed position. Prime Minister, you continue to talk a lot about making the tough choices. But let’s be clear: setting immigrants up as the ‘other’, as a scapegoat—describing us as a threat ‘pulling the country apart’, a ‘squalid chapter’, a risk that might make the UK an ‘island of strangers’—these are not tough choices at all. These are the easy choices. They are the choices that populists make who have no solutions to the real problems a country faces. What I would like to know, Prime Minister, is what you will do when your policies lead to the implosion of the UK’s Higher Education sector. What you will tell communities when they can no longer provide any care for the elderly. The policies you announced today will not solve anything at all. They will have exclusively negative impacts. For those immediately affected; for our communities; and for our economy. Being pro-immigration—it is progressive, yes, but the much more crucial point is that it is also the most pro-UK policy approach that any politician in the country can pursue. And you are choosing to do the opposite. This, Prime Minister, is the real damage—and it will be very calculable indeed. Tanja Bueltmann

Spare a thought for all the ‘strangers’ who chose to make a life and pay their taxes on this island, sometimes decades ago. Labour messaging on this is despicable, quite aside from the idiocy and vagueness of the actual policy announcement. Perhaps the ‘right to die’ will solve social care hole?

The exchange at the Oval Office before the press pool entered:

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Bukele: "We got space."

Everyone laughs.

At @odi.global we've been stunned by the brutality of USAID's shutdown. Our thoughts are w/ staff & people who will be gravely impacted globally.

This attack reflects a trend of dwindling multilateral engagement. Decisive, collection is needed now to rebuild a future that serves everyone. My 2¢ 👇
Out of the rubble
At a time when humanitarian needs are escalating and aid budgets continue to be cut, new forms of collective leadership are urgently needed.

has there been a piece about Giselle Pelicot by a man, reflecting on what he's learned about masculinity, about himself and about other men from this horrific case?

I feel I've seen so much by women, but it wasn't women who bloody did it. It's not women who need to reflect on how it could happen.

🧵 is so important- communicating w respect for your audience. Education is full of jargon, & teachers use terms that parents in conferences have no idea what they’re talking about, too. For researchers, and teachers, and anyone communicating, assume intelligence, not vocabulary #fantasticadvice

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm

A good test of whether @bsky.app will really be an open, positive place is if @naomicunningham.bsky.social keeps having her posts absurdly labelled as "intolerance". She's a serious lawyer with views others may strongly disagree with. That's all. The label should be removed @moderation.bsky.app.
