The Danish model (in practice) is life in limbo. House of Commons library.
The Home Secretary's decision, without any attempt at consultation or oversight, to limit refugees to 30 months in the UK before having to have their claims re-confirmed is a cruel, inhumane, and ultimately unworkable policy. The Home Secretary has claimed it is necessary to tackle "legitimate grievances". There is nothing legitimate about denying those fleeing war and persecution the ability to rebuild their lives. There is nothing legitimate about leaving them in limbo, increasing the stress and trauma they are already going through, and reinforcing hostility and racism against them. People seeking asylum often already have to wait years for their claims to be heard. Increasing the number of cases which the Home Office deals with is obviously never going to be feasible. The Home Secretary knows this. That is why she has pushed this through via the backdoor without any consultation. Instead of trying to grab headlines to appear "tough", this government needs to be ensuring that those who come here seeking safety are able to receive it faster, and more effectively. This latest PR stunt from the Home Office runs counter to any practical measures which are needed.
We are disgusted by the latest cruel and inhumane anti-asylum policy announced by the Home Secretary. Limiting refugees to 30 months before needing to re-apply undermines their ability to rebuild their lives, to feel safe and secure, all while increasing Home Office bureaucracy and costs.
Today is a dark day for anyone who believes in sanctuary in the UK.
People who've fled war and torture should be able to rebuild their lives in peace and security - not live under a constant threat of removal.
We must not stop fighting these appalling anti-refugee laws.
You shouldn't have to be a significant person in the history of disability arts in order to get ATW ... but it's pretty telling of what the DWP are up to when they slash such a notable person's ATW.
Genuinely, if you live in the UK you should so the consultation just to find out some of the unbelievable details of what's being proposed. Even with their spin and obfuscation it's shocking
this saturday! I haven't heard it yet, but there's not only interviews with Carolyn Steedman and Miriam Stoppard, but also live audio of me attempting to get my kids out the door for school in the mornings www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
There's always a lot of bad news on here, but as of yesterday the sun sets after 5pm each day in Glasgow until next autumn, and as of tomorrow the sun rises before 8am.
Lots of new radical history tours open for booking over the next few months including Queer Glasgow, radical West End and Migrants Made Glasgow. Free tickets always available if cost is a barrier, just drop us a line. See you in the streets! radicalglasgowtours.com
I wrote about how all our politicians and media are incompetent.
I guess that means I’m officially back in the writing game
Happy 50th birthday, HWJ! Being a member of the History Workshop collective has shaped the kind of historian I am (& want to be). I'm so proud to have helped edit this 100th issue of History Workshop Journal, which includes reflections on History Workshop for these turbulent times; on HW's past;...

The new issue of History Workshop Journal is out: issue 100, marking 50 years of the journal's existence. It's more necessary than ever.

The deadline for this funded PhD is this Fri 23 Jan, for anyone interested in housing, heritage, and climate change (especially if you're an enthusiast for Scottish tenements!) ⬇️
A good thread on chaotic mismanagement at the University of Edinburgh. Solidarity to my colleagues and friends there.
The signs at Cambridge train station saying 'Home of Anglia Ruskin University' also seem pertinent here.
Perhaps you were wondering about this year's Wolfson History Prize shortlist.

This is so problematic. Creating big-money grants (7m EUR!) is such a travesty. Instead of funding 1 researcher, why not fund 25 with smaller grants? It would create more ideas, secure more careers, and create so much more innovative knowledge. www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-euro...
Obviously the only one who mentions the school they went to went to a private school. The current fees there are a mere £7,290 per term 'Incl VAT' (how they hate that!) but not including lunch, or £17,880 if you're boarding. Per term.
NB One of them also has a PGDip from a post-92 (and there can't have been many of those on historic Wolfson History Prize shortlists). It's not one of the ones who went to Cambridge.

This afternoon an incredibly important principle is being debated in the House of Lords
We know people die at our border & in our asylum system at a horrifying rate, but shockingly the govt does not record how many, who, or how.
@asylummatters.bsky.social are campaigning to #KnowTheirNames
the amount of academic research now using llms in research (synthetic data generation, to classify, annotate, or analyse large scale data, etc) is astounding. remember, just cus use of llms in research is becoming normalised does NOT erase the fact it degrades the research & undermine your results
Screenshot of text: Indeed, most modern states’ militaries would have no difficulty carrying out similar airstrikes on a place like Lebanon, which lacks air defenses, and almost any state could impose an aid blockade and shoot starving people in an occupied enclave such as Gaza. What ultimately prevents other states from doing these things in plain sight, or for such prolonged periods of time and with such intensity, is not a lack of technological prowess, but of weapons, funding, and political will. Looking at matters this way, it becomes clear that Israel’s true “innovation” in this moment is political: the feat of securing unique access to an endless supply of Western weapons, intelligence, and most of all, political backing, all of which have given it a destructive capacity that may truly be unprecedented in modern history.

New post on refugeehistory.org: were there refugees in 16thC England? Answer: it's complicated - migrants and the state were in the process of negotiating a form of refugee protection, which helps us to complicate notions of Britain's "proud history of welcome": tinyurl.com/bdyevr4d
Vazira Zamindar at Brown is working on a (big) book project on 'archaeology, art history, photography, film, war and the anticolonial struggle on the northwest frontier of British India'; she would certainly know much more about colonial-era air surveys in India than I do!
