Is the international rule of law crumbling all around us? Author of East West Street and respected expert on international justice, Philippe Sands KC dismisses such talk & argues that international laws remain robust. Specific treaties may be under assault but always been so. It's a long game #IJF26

I've been coming to Perugia since 2016, first as a panellist & then as keen participant. The media landscape has changed hugely in past 10 yrs but the range of panels & speakers remains as topical & stimulating as ever.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick. At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division. The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

There's a lot wrong with British democracy, but three things we should defend with iron determination: - no party involvement in appointing judges; - non-partisan drawing of constituency boundaries; - limited party spending by comparison with the US - though this is now very much at risk.

A panel of five diverse speakers sit on a small stage in front of an audience at the Migration Museum. One speaker on the far right is holding a microphone and speaking, gesturing with his hand. The other panelists are listening attentively. The background features historical black-and-white photographs and a blue wall with the words "MIGRATION MUSEUM" in white text. The audience is seated facing the panel.

Starmer's language was deplorable. It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy. But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵
