The UK government has made “no significant progress” in the more than seven years since it was found guilty of “grave and systematic” violations of the UN disability convention, it has been told by human rights experts.

We are extremely grateful to Sir Stephen and all the MPs from various parties who joined the Debate on the MIR increase and spoke of the impacts on family and couples.

Family is a right not a privilege.

So Modern Slavery PEC was recently moved to Oxford. There was no open call or competition. All behind the scenes.

By contrast, the other AHRC funded Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre was subject to an open and competitive process.

People drowning in the channel is a tragedy, but not an accident. These tragic deaths are a direct and entirely predictable result of UK government policy.

Here’s Chris Philp learning that Congo & Rwanda are 2 DIFFERENT countries

Thinking of our dear QMUL School of Law colleague Prof Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian who has been subjected to degrading treatment by Israeli police, & isolated by Israeli academics for speaking out against genocide in Gaza, & for researching Israeli unchilding

Please support this call

Says the man who has bombed ALL TWELVE universities in Gaza to rubble. ALL. Universities.

Out of curiosity, when was the last time massive student protests turned out to be on the wrong side of history, and the state using police violence against them turned out to be right?

For four or five years now I've been playing around with writing a piece on 'nepo-babies' of anti-trafficking. I made a start on a draft a while back, but stopped because it felt like I was punching down, since the kinds of people I have in mind aren't really experts. 1/10

“I was privy to some inhumane conversations using the words ‘let’s boomerang them’, ‘bloody migrants’, ‘let’s take them in Cat C and treat them as prisoners.’”

The richest Prime Minister in history – worth an estimated £529,000,000 – is demonising sick and disabled people.

He wants us to blame our problems on anyone but the real culprits:

The Tory government, their super-rich donors, and a system that puts greed before human need.

One of the key problems in the anti-trafficking/slavery field is that no one holds their hands up when they screw up.

Everyone instead closes ranks and pretends that there is nothing wrong.

This piece points to an epic screw up.

Will OSCE respond?
