There has been lots of discussion on LinkedIn and everywhere about the future of aid. Some say it needs to "do more with less", others say we need to prioritise only global public goods. I have a different take on the issue, just published on the LSE blog and The Policy Practice.

Today I finished my #paddleforpalestine at Westminster and met my MP @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social to ask her to press the government to: stop selling military equipment to Israel; impose sanctions on Israel until they respect international humanitarian law; and recognise the state of Palestine.

During 'Unearthed', our concert on Friday 28 March we'll be singing three songs by Clara Schuman setting music to the poetry of Emanuel Geibel. Clara Schumann was a trailblazer in the world of classical music. 🧵

A great letter from @ciffchild.bsky.social and others. @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social - now you have shown the courage to resign, please campaign for a new approach
Our letter to the Prime Minister expressing deep concern regarding his decision to cut ODA.
This will have a direct and devastating impact on the lives of millions. The aid budget is an important instrument for long-term stability and economic partnership. We hope the government will reconsider.
