Civil, health, climate, and voting rights advocate because it's all interrelated. Director of British in Europe. Born in Yorkshire, now living in Luxembourg. Trying to stay sane in an increasingly insane world.
Labour no longer has any values, or certainly not progressive ones. These proposals are abhorrent and you and like-minded colleagues must vote against them. The majority of voters don’t support them but even if they did, as a human being you would still have a duty to vote against such evil policies

Any politician who is taking seriously that the next election might be lost to a far-right populist party, should be doing all they can to strengthen protections for vulnerable people. If this is lost, it will go down in history as a moment where everything collapsed.

As part of our toolbox for rights we asked our volunteer advocates to discuss the types of cases and issues that arose, the WA and Charter articles that were most relevant in their work, and outcomes. See what they had to say in the video here www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZBp...

Backed up by our practical experience in the WA negotiations and cases we have dealt with across the 11 country groups involved in the project, it is the first legal report of its kind focusing on WA implementation for the 1.2 million UK WA beneficiaries in the EU and issues that have arisen.

3. While big oil, big tobacco, etc. serve as well-known cautionary tales, social media research poses novel challenges for independent researchers—perhaps most notably, access to the study system itself.

It's like trying to study climate change if Exxon-Mobile owned all the world's thermometers.

All of which is to say, this has costs, for us in HE sure, but also for business, medicine, finance, tech, arts and entertainment, pharmaceuticals. The industries that this country is a world leader in. And if you cannot fathom why this uncertainty is a problem then you are not fit to govern.

If any Labour MPs are reading (go on, you know you want to), as someone trying to hire six new Oxford professors in AI / experiments / big data / all the stuff you say you want, I would really appreciate knowing if new hires can, you know, stay in the country they move to... current policy is chaos

If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

He is being extorted and gaslit by the NHS on the payment because they threatened him with an automatic referral to the Home Office and a potential future entry ban if he didn’t pay up even though they refuse to send an itemised bill and he can’t risk that because our daughter lives in London.

This nasty, anti-foreigner rhetoric is embedded in communications across English government. My German husband is on the receiving end of it at the moment as a result of an emergency stay in hospital as a non-resident at the end of a holiday in the UK last month.

Who is the #HomeOffice really targeting with this campaign?
While the stated goal in their latest #Immigration White Paper is to “cut net migration”, messages like this only make millions of UK residents (who are already here, sometimes for many years!) feel unwelcome.
