Our book Brexit and Citizens' Rights is now out. We discuss Brexit and its impact on the rights of different groups of citizens: British, EU27, third country nationals, in the UK and in the EU.

A dense mass of protesters against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement fill a Minneapolis street. Many hold signs; the largest signs say things like “Killer ICE: Off Our Streets.”

CHSTM and the Division of Medical Education at UoM are organising/have organised a few interesting events on neurodiversity. Have a look here:
blogs.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/blog/2025/12...
Division of Medical Education Events and Initiatives to Discuss Autism and ADHD Diagnoses in Context (for Staff and Students) Colleagues in the Division of Medical Education have been involved in a series of events exploring the history of autism and ADHD diagnoses, and related topics concerning the study of neurodevelopment, developmental psychology, and neurodiversity. In June 2025, CHSTM, together with the network Autism@Manchester, hosted the interdisciplinary workshop “Rethinking Neurodevelopment: From WHO Policies to Neurodiversity and Care”, with three speakers, Dr Anna Stenning (University of Southampton), Dr Bonnie Evans and Dr Cinzia Greco (both SMS). The workshop was an opportunity to rethink neurodevelopmental conditions, their historical and contemporary transformations, and to explore the future direction of research in the field. Growing interest in, and diagnosis of, conditions such as autism and ADHD has generated new and sometimes controversial debates. The workshop was an occasion to discuss the history of autism, and the role of international agencies, such as the WHO, in defining this diagnosis, and how other personal identities, such as gender, can influence the experience of autistic people. Dr Erin Beeston (a CHSTM alumna now working with Autism@Manchester) requested support from Dr Greco and Dr Evans to organise an “Autism student journal club”, an ongoing initiative for neurodivergent students to discuss research on the topic and connect with other students with similar experiences. On 16th October, Dr Bonnie Evans and Professor Jonathan Green spoke at a new CHSTM seminar series on Mind, History and Society, bringing together historians and doctors to support understanding healthcare practices. Dr Evans discussed how the history of child development studies within social and political context can help to explain changes in the meaning of the autism diagnosis over time, and why these historical changes are vital to interpreting epidemi…

I am not sure how much the different parties and pressure groups understand the interests of those would be impacted by an ID policy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UK
There will still be digital checks on those starting a new job, but people will not need to hold a digital ID.

This is not only (unsurprisingly) discriminatory and cruel but also (again unsurprisingly) poorly thought. If the UK really attempted to denaturalise and deport all dual citizen criminals, the other countries of citizenship could simply run to denaturalise them first. Begum's case was similar.

I would be interested to see the statistics per country per year behind this statement

“We, the UK, take back our citizens if they’re convicted of criminal offences overseas. It’s only reasonable to expect other countries to do the same thing"

All criminals with dual nationality must be deported, say Tories
The Conservative party’s policy also includes stripping people of their British citizenship when they are found guilty of a crime

I was looking for updates on the 'gold card' but @jdzankic.bsky.social had already done so two months ago. We also have confirmation that the US government is currently floating one of the most blatantly money-grabbing approaches to gold passport/residence as it is a 'gift' rather than 'investment'

If you use "societal" as a neutral synonym of "social", you might also be interested in reading my comment on why the two terms do not refer to the same reality and why, in this case, it might be better to avoid the variatio and stick with "social" (repetita iuvant after all).

Labour MPs are being fobbed off with "jam tomorrow" vagueness about refugee sponsorship ideas that are allegedly in development while the Labour government destroys the UK's highly successful integration model.

Uk refugee protection through official schemes is down a quarter under Labour government, compared to their Cons predecessors. It would be down much more if there hadn't been an accidental data leak putting Afghsns at risk, so 4000 more people given sanctuary

I was one of the sceptics when the Leave campaign promised that Brexit would have opened opportunities to Commonwealth migrants. But maybe some Tories were really fine with getting the visa-fee-paying, No Recourse to Public Funds, low-right migrants in place of EU citizens /1
djsredanovic.bsky.social Djordje Sredanovic @djsredanovic.bsky.social · Dec 1
I think the Conservative policy was implicitly 'get the same amount of people in, but with less rights' (especially if Brexit is added to the calculation). Attacking asylum seekers was the way to offset politically the overall numbers. Labour seems to think they need to be harsh on both fronts.

Among other things, I was wondering whether Mahmood's changes to settlement would be UK's first major disalignment with the EU on migration after Brexit. In particular with the 2003 Directive on long-term residents.
