As the ICJ case is today brought by South Africa against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, it feels kinda personally and politically relevant to the small part of Ireland I grew up in.
Two names.

Your regular reminder that 81% of new social housing lettings go to white British tenants and 90% go to UK nationals. At a dangerous political moment, please don't let the right establish one of their favourite narratives (lies): that immigrants get all the council housing.
Hello academic Twitter! If anybody has had any success with the LISS DTP and/ or LAHP funding streams for London universities, or similar funding at other universities, any tips or pointers would be so appreciated. Applying for PhDs whilst not in a masters programme is eek! ❤️

The number of young people I know who have gone from canvassing for the Labour Party in the freezing cold to vowing that they will never vote Labour while the current leader is in charge is really quite staggering. A generation feeling proper betrayal

The more international attention the case gets, the more likely the HO is to overturn it - please share if you can, international friends and colleagues
Shameful, devastating, racist. @DoselineKiguru is a brilliant and much-valued colleague - what she and her daughter have been put through is evil theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

If you’re going to the Pro Palestinian protest/march in London (or anywhere else ) today, for what it’s worth, my advice is: don’t play into Suella Braverman’s hands - don’t be provoked, stay calm, report trouble makers to the police

Gaza and Barcelona are twin cities. The Gazan local government has sent a farewell letter to Barcelona. This is an imperfect translation of the bit has been made public. It's the saddest thing I've ever read.

Brand is the fucking establishment.
A multi millionaire. Like a financially secure Charles Manson. It’s enraging how thick people have become, easily conned, believing anything.
There’s no conspiracy.
Politics has taught me that the worst shit always happens in plain sight.
