Today, MEPs in European Parliament voted for a #MigrationPact that violently pushes back people seeking safety at #EU borders, criminalises #NGOs & outsources border management to unsafe countries.

This is an abolition of the right to seek asylum in the #EU .

⚫This is a shameful day.

We PARSUK are extremely proud to join the CONNecting EU Communities Through Science in UK launch event at Imperial College London tonight.

My hope for the future 🇪🇺🇬🇧 relationship:

More + deeper connections, facilitated by a joint approach to science, innovation & technology.

Brian Klaas brilliantly covers one of my biggest bugbears: how the political circus makes it practically impossible to discuss policy seriously.
