Forthcoming @CPSThinkTank report from @RobertJenrick and I is trailed on the front of today's Telegraph and elsewhere - it sets out a plan to cut net migration to the tens of thousands, from the unprecedented rates of recent years.
Written for @thetimes on our new project with @RobertJenrick & @NeilDotObrien - how to build an immigration system that's more selective, higher quality and less open to abuse. (Key suggestion: cap both overall numbers and individual migration routes.) thetimes.co.uk/article/camero…
The UK does integration better than many other European countries, which is a strength. In several groups (not all) economic inactivity is lower for those born here, compared to migrants. For most ethnic minority groups - not Indian - it remains higher than average though.
New post: what will we do with all the churches? neilobrien.co.uk/p/the-end-of-m…
How many politicians does it take to rebuild a bridge? My @CityAM column this week is on state capacity - why it matters, how we've lost it, and why the big debate on the centre-right should be how to get it back cityam.com/if-our-politic…
This is the visible tip of the iceberg - we need to reduce dependence on Xi's China - and defend our open society from ongoing hostile acts by the CCP.
Wow, this is incredibly poor. He's relying on a script, and the script is pure legospeak. His main criticism is that the FCDO is focussed on "this idea of the national interest" ... and only idea is to change the building. Shesh, hope rest of senior FCDO aren't so hopeless.

"I find that deeply uncomfortable... the government is saying... I don't want him to be a risk for 'my people' in invested commas so we'll send him somewhere else... that's not good enough." > Yes we shd prioritise the safety of British people over the rights of foreign criminals

In Judge Eicke's dissenting opinion in the Swiss Climate case he makes the points that the Court is opting to overrule the *express vote of Swiss people in their 2021 referendum*, and indeed using that vote as evidence of a violation of human rights: hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng#_Toc162522…
The way Stella argues is so dishonest. "We are keeping the 24 week limit" > but it would mean no longer enforcing the law, allowing near-birth abortions with no penalty "You haven't seen the amendment yet" > but you keep saying what it does

This is a deeply troubling judgment by the European Court of Human Rights The Court has extended its remit, created a new right and established new duties (1) Swiss government violated women’s human rights by climate change inaction, ECHR rules telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

This Westminster job advert shows problem with the Equality Act 2010: it allows racist hiring policies. I don't believe for one second they'll really consider equal merit. Ironically the one thing the Equality Act does give you is equality under the law. careers.newjob.org.uk/WCC/job/Westmi…
