In our introduction we flesh out what we call “a geopoetics of migration” which, for us, offers an expressive frame through which to read and interpret contemporary predicaments of borders, non/belonging, citizenship, displacement, transit, aid, and life-seeking.

I’m seeing people talk about the worldwide trend of countries moving right, and I think that has to be largely understood as the failure of neoliberalism. As liberal parties move right they stop delivering for people and find themselves in political no mans land.

Take the latest announcement: new surveillance technologies for the NCA, and celebrations of the deportations since they came to office. tinyurl.com/4dbp4jdz. Nothing about supporting communities, reducing backlogs or enabling the positive contributions that migrants make 2/3

Denying refugees citizenship simply on the grounds that they arrived here “illegally” on small boats *when there are no legal routes* for most of them to use takes cynicism to new heights. And such performative cruelty won’t see off Reform - it’s more likely to strengthen them
