There has been lots of discussion on LinkedIn and everywhere about the future of aid. Some say it needs to "do more with less", others say we need to prioritise only global public goods. I have a different take on the issue, just published on the LSE blog and The Policy Practice. lnkd.in/e6Pq5gAZ

This is a superb editorial from the @financialtimes.com. We are witnessing deliberate ethnic cleansing and doing nothing. Shame on this government @AnnelieseDodds @anneliesedoddsmp.bsky.social on.ft.com/3YzoS5W

This is urgent, necessary viewing for all of us. Things are moving so fast as the global power structures shift — we must be fully cognisant of what it means for us. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social speaks with integrity & huge knowledge. I trust her. youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

During 'Unearthed', our concert on Friday 28 March we'll be singing three songs by Clara Schuman setting music to the poetry of Emanuel Geibel. Clara Schumann was a trailblazer in the world of classical music. 🧵
A black and white lithograph of Clara Wieck (later Clara Schumann) created by Andreas Staub in 1839. Clara, a young woman with a serene expression, is depicted wearing a dark dress with a lace collar and a shawl. Her hair is styled in a braided updo with a ribbon.
