In one of my classes today, a bird flew into the window and my cross fell off its necklace chain. Are these omens

But human rights are essentially and necessarily counter-majoritarian Majorities can get their way through elected power - either 51% or in the travesty of the UK FPTP system 33% - so the importance of HR to the 49% is critical and we jettison it at cost

These are just 10 of the 25 cases. Every one of these makes life worse for the decent, hard-working people of Britain. Every one of them undermines the direct choices made by Parliament - the elected representatives of the people.

Loads of colleagues have been stopping by and checking in on each other today, making sure everyone's alright. Had a good few colleagues asking me how I'm doing. It makes a huge difference.

The SLSA PGR conference is really helpful, a great way to make friends, and on a personal note it is also a formative memory of mine, absolutely recommend

We are hosting the @SLSA_UK PGR conference in January 2025. Registration opens soon (13/11) - keep an eye out!

It’s really difficult to overstate how many pedagogical problems that seem impossible to solve are actually just a function of classes being too big.

Craziest housing stat of the week: The state spends MORE today on housing than it did in 1976. The key difference: we used to build council houses, now we spend it on subsidising private landlords. Our housing system is completely broken.
