Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Russia continues to be vile indeed. As if the sins are not plentiful enough, while pontificating in the UN, attacking civilians in Kyiv. Gah. No analysis just plain evil

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

It’s my first #UACES conference as Chair & so great to see everyone! With over 300 folks chatting all things European studies, it promises to be a fabulous conference.

All *solidarity* to many of our colleagues who can’t be here because university leadership would rather vandalise than build.

Never felt more powerless… vigils; marches; letters…my own govt would rather criminalise old people who say NO! and these are the people who have the power to do something using that power contra to the international law they claim is important for the preservation of the ‘good’ liberal order. /2
