Happy 2026 everyone. The geopolitics is real bad and I hope it doesn’t cause you harm, and that your personal worlds are nurturing and caring. I have some leave and while I am writing I may be spending a lot of it with a vibrant nonhuman.

The idea is everyone gets a draft a week beforehand and we ask questions or suggest things. The paper author only talks in answer and for five minutes at the beginning to explain their aims. If people are kind it’s great.

Fair comment. Have a great year.

Toni Erskine runs a cross-institutional, cross-disciplinary, and cross-tradition (analytics & continentals together) reading group for us to present work in progress. It’s been great for my research and is often a lot of fun - are there some European buddies where the time zones might work?

Russia’s claim that Ukraine recently targeted key government sites in Russia is a deliberate distraction. Moscow aims to derail real progress towards peace by Ukraine and its Western partners. (1/2)

I’m no longer doing daily verifications after this one but I will probably from time to time add someone to this list. Please talk to and help Palestinian families if you can ❤️

this is the most inclusive and risk free option. A full royal commission into antisemitism will become a post-truth mess that dishonours the victims. if we’re worried the public service will cover up its flaws, welcome to reality. Demand the Richardson review be thorough and transparent.

Did you know that the US hasn’t had an ambassador in Moscow in 6 months?

Or that our chief envoy to Russia won’t take briefings from the CIA?

But wait, there’s more. Much more in this 6-byline WSJ piece on the Witkoff-Putin axis.
