Cannot physically do another LinkedIn post, as every time I write one I feel like a fairy loses its wings and I did 3 recently... but I am SO excited to be teaching a module of my own design next year: www.drps.ed.ac.uk/current/dpt/...

Incredible scenes in the High Court: on how not to use ChatGPT (see paras 57-66) - though I still stand by it that we should teach students HOW to use it, not prohibiting it outright thttps://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2025/1040.html

Ah just in time for my WTO seminar on Article XXI GATT in 56 minutes (and yes, scraping the barrel for silver linings in the news these days 🙃)

Yet another 232 investigation that does not focus on Chinese excess capacity but on Canadian forestry and timber industries. A 232 investigation requires demonstrated risks to U.S. national security. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

🚨🚨The press briefing yesterday between Pres Zelenskyy, JD Vance & Trump was absolutely devastating and to my mind the lowest point of American diplomacy in modern history. @kyivindependent.com editorial is a must-read acutely summarising this excruciating event.🧵 kyivindependent.com/editorial-a-...

Editorial: A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. In the past several weeks, the U.S. leadership has demonstrate...

Trump’s enthusiasm for “reciprocal tariffs” reflects a flawed understanding of reciprocity and fairness in international trade.

PETER-TOBIAS STOLL on how to respond to this assault on a multilateral, rules-based system of international trade.

verfassungsblog.de/reciprocity-...

Quote from our article by author Peter-Tobias Stoll: "The existing rules-based international economic order is in a deplorable state. The crucial question, therefore, is whether we should quietly accept its final abolition by someone with the power to do so, or rather set about repairing it."

#Omnibus proposal of @ec.europa.eu deletes rules on civil liability in #CSDDD and leaves determination of applicable law to Member States.
This is a major setback for access to remedies and will lead to divergent national laws.
@europarl.europa.eu should reject it.

I would have never thought, before the war, that it would be Zizek – of all – who will have the most lucid takes on what is wrong with many leftist views of this war.

Non-food insights: Poland will not abandon Ukraine / appease Russia, besides that, the presidency will promote the issues of energy and food security, and (interestingly for a country where mental health has been stigmatised for YEARS) the mental health of young people in the digital age

An insightful afternoon listening to the Polish Ambassador to the UK, Piotr Wilczek, as Poland takes on the presidency of the Council of the EU. Also, a note for anyone in charge of catering of similar events: (Haggis) pierogi >>> canapés.

This is scandalous & shameful. The leader of the biggest party, part of the ruling coalition, announcing a visit to #Netanyahu, because they're friends. We are the ICC HOST COUNTRY.
