...twittering on migration, noncitizenship and statelessness... and other things that seem interesting...

[Tendayi @TendayiB]

'A noncitizenist move requires a shift in presumption so that those who carry the heaviest burdens of the global system of migration governance are recognized both as experts and as key stakeholders in that system.'

Who participates in shaping global migration governance? And how? What does this mean for its content?
This new book offers some reflections. https://t.co/qRBX3CkgnT

'The Illegal Migration Bill, which has now been passed by Parliament in [UK], is at variance with the country’s obligations [...] and will have profound consequences for people in need of international protection' https://t.co/eifYIHf6N0

'If you are reading this, you likely have more power to change things than I do. So I ask you: Are you satisfied with the status quo? If not, what can you do to ensure that future refugees will not be condemned to live in my state of prolonged, destructive limbo?'

Excited to be launching Flipping the Narrative, a new series from @newhumanitarian that puts the voices of refugees, asylum seekers & migrants at the centre of conversations about the policies & events that shape their lives: https://t.co/93y2i9VWTL

“If they really are refugees, why don’t they have to stay in the first safe country they reach?”

“Why don’t they just claim asylum in France?”

Here is my answer, once & for all. To Jonathan Gullis, and to everyone else who ever wondered.

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for.

[Care4Calais @Care4Calais]

I've been in Calais all day trying to help Ukrainians get an appointment to get a British visa.

No one was able to get one.

Then at the end of the day I finally met someone who had got one.

This is what he told me:

'If agreement can be reached over UCU's proposals between staff and employer representatives at the JNC, the union says industrial action over pensions can be called off.'

The USS trustee has now confirmed that UCU's pension proposals are viable

Time is running out to protect pension benefits and avert widespread strikes, due to start Monday

Imagine being trapped inside a refrigerator with the light on. But knowing that the door behind you is locked and sealed.  There is no way out unless someone comes to open it from the other side. #TheLightlessSky

[Nando Sigona @nandosigona]

If you watch the news or read @pritipatel's #newplanforimmigration it looks like the country is facing a tidal wave of refugees and that's all that matter in the conversation on #migration. A quick look to official figures gives a very different picture.

Me: "Can we have a debate on the impact of Brexit and a region by region report?"

Rees-Mogg: "Brexit prayer...Brexit song...Gloria in excelsis Deo...happy fish."

This is the level of debate I've come to expect from this Government 🤦‍♀️
