I look forward to testify at next week's @CECCgov hearing on the impossibility of conducting social audits in Xinjiang. Focus will be on @VW's recent audit-washing, VW/BASF's presence in Xinjiang, and the abuse of audits to conceal forced labor risks. cecc.gov/events/hearing…

So sad. @adefty is the world’s leading expert on U.K. parliamentary oversight of intelligence (a hugely important topic). His work on U.K. covert propaganda is genuinely pioneering and a huge influence on my own research. Outrageous to be in this position.

“As a committed Marxist-Leninist, Xi sees China’s rise not as a linear process but as one that will take time and require adjustments. In his view, the country’s current difficulties are mere bumps along the road to achieving the China Dream.” trib.al/zATxh3d

After 14 years of Tory hollowing out of our Armed Forces, Labour will defend Britain better. We will: ✅Reinforce homeland protections ✅Fulfill NATO obligations in full ✅Make allies our strategic strength ✅Direct British defence investment first to British jobs and business

You’d never see a post like this aimed at some middle-class Brits drinking in a ski resort. The so-called ‘white working-class’ (which is a problematic term to begin with) have now become a symbol of racism to many in the middle-class left, to be sneered at and disgusted by.
The English: if they're coming over here they should accept our culture! Also the English:
[NARRATOR]: As Mr. Clueless was about to find out, permanent residency was absolute by no means Chinese citizenship. I hope he didn't burn his passport just yet...
I’m as cynical and jaded as anyone, but I disagree with this: even if you think impending Tory defeat means pledges are cheap talk, these commitments have a real impact on Treasury & MoD planning. They also make it likelier Labour will adhere to similar timing on growing to 2.5%.
It’s not a defence boost; it’s some words designed to look like one to harvest votes.
