Thrilled that my favourite journal - Sexualities - has just published my paper based on my interviews with single women in London! Silencing the single woman: Negotiating the ‘failed’ feminine subject in contemporary UK society https://t.co/x03o8f1p3J

9/ He had 18 months to plan. But with Britain weakened in the world and facing greater threats from terrorism, a humanitarian crisis and thousands left behind, his only regret is going on holiday.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

8/ 900 troops flew into danger to deal with the crisis that unfolded on his watch. Would he like to apologise to them? Turns out he wouldn’t.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

7/ He was asked nine times when exactly he went on holiday. Was it before or after the US warned of the Taliban’s advance? Was it before or after a crisis centre was set up? He wouldn’t say.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

6/ He seemed surprised to learn that his own Department’s Principal Risk Report warned that the Taliban were advancing and the situation was deteriorating on 22 July. Had he actually read it?

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

5/ In fact, since he became Foreign Secretary he’s never been to Afghanistan or Pakistan.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

4/ He can’t remember when he last spoke to the Afghan Foreign Minister, the Pakistani Foreign Minister, any regional country or any British ambassador in the region in the months before the Taliban seized Kabul.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

3/ But he can say that the security guards at the British Embassy, who we owe a duty to, were left behind in the chaos.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

2/ He doesn’t know how many British nationals have been left behind in Afghanistan. It could be 100. It could be 400. He isn’t sure.

[Lisa Nandy MP @lisanandy]

1/ The Foreign Secretary seemed keen to dodge the hard questions when he appeared before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee – but here’s what we managed to learn anyway… ⬇️

In early May, SBS was astounded to receive an email stating that as of 26 May 2021, women applying for leave to remain in the UK on grounds of domestic abuse will be required to enrol their biometrics at the Home Office’s UK Visas & Immigration ‘Service & Support’ Centres. 1/7

[Women's Aid @womensaid]

Read this important thread 👇 the Home Office's decision to require survivors applying for leave to remain due to domestic abuse to attend UKVI Service & Support Services will create yet another barrier to safety. We urge the govt to pause & meet with @SBSisters
