Great thought piece from David Lammy in Foreign Affairs People from the Global South reading this, will think finally someone gets it. "A progressive realism worth its name begins by being honest about assumptions the West made in the past that turned out to be wrong." Ben Judah

NEW BLOG: The HALO Trust's @Calumcraig & Saferworld's Lewis Brooks take a look what impact the shift from the CSSF to the government's new UK Integrated Security Fund (UKISF) will have: labourforeignpolicy.org.uk/post/tackling-โ€ฆ

Thanks Labour Foreign Policy Group (LFPG) for hosting this blog from Calum Craig & I on changes in UK security funding. We argue that positive innovations may be lost if a narrow framing of national security dominates the new UK Integrated Security Fund and it doesn't pivot to address future conflict
