Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Sandy Hook and Parkland were staged and the parents are actors and the kids are really still alive. Republicans just put her on the committee that oversees school safety. But Ilhan Omar…

Major puts the case very well - an ability to look at the big picture globally and to understand trade offs. A reminder of a lost age of Toryism. What a distance from the empty bluster and fantasies of Truss and Johnson

Couldn't tag you in the photo Kate Sullivan de Estrada but wonderful to have your co-authored paper with Raphaëlle Khan on India's signalling strategies in the the #IndoPacific as part of the panel. Should also take a moment to acknowledge the Observatory of the Indo-Pacific.

Much excitement in the family whatsapp group this morning at the prospect of an Indian and a Pakistani bringing about the partition of Britain
