This take from Ezra Klein is very useful in thinking about the Trump 'We'll annex Gaza' comment yesterday.
Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it. #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

Being 'tougher on migration' will not help if people don't feel like their day-to-day lives are improving. The UK is already very, very 'tough' on migration.

It's a mistake to think love is a limited resource. You love everyone and love creates more love. On a more practical level, you cannot have peace and safety in a community where you aren't working for the peace and safety of everyone.
Just google “ordo amoris.” Aside from that, the idea that there isn’t a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense. Does Rory really think his moral duties to his own children are the same as his duties to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away? Does anyone?

Busy week talking about my Social Media and Body Image project with @helenringrow.bsky.social and Charlotte Boyce in Portsmouth. We're launching a toolkit for mentors in The Girls' Network to use with young women all around the country.

If you're a person who knows if a 110 IQ is good or not, you're not the sort of person I want to talk to anyway.

If you are a fiction writer, and need ideas for characters, go doorknocking with a political party. You'll meet at least 5 possible characters in an hour.

Today is Offer Day at Cambridge if anyone else is spending their morning rehearsing what to say when the news comes.

Third Draft of the memoir is done again and OUT THE DOOR. Now the long slog of finding someone to publish it.
