"UK facing ‘brain drain’ of cancer researchers after failure to join EU scheme"

This piece focuses on principal investigators (i.e., grant holders). The bulk of scientific research work is carrried out by postdocs and other soft-money researchers, and the effect on them of Brexit and the removal of free movement needs addressing.

There appears to be zero political will to finalise UK association to Horizon Europe.

England's Labour Party signals to the the EU that the Brexit agreement will be revised according to Brexitanian needs.

I can see this going down well in Brussels.

This is an excellent initial analysis of the UK governments unworkable Illegal Migration Bill (accurately named as their Migration Bill is indeed illegal).

Also makes the hugely relevant point that, along with the other problems, this Bill will also very likely lead to more people disappearing into the exploitation economy as they seek to avoid deportation. It's a truly horrific piece of legislation.

"After Brexit, if Sunak really wants a ‘science superpower’, he must fix these three things," says Devi Sridhar.

This is a rhetorical point, as these things are not fixable with #Brexit. To do so would require at the very least full membership of #HorizonEurope, and the restoration of #FreeMovement.

Funded by the World Bank, a French company has used satellite imagery to help Niger Customs improve ‘border management,’ World Customs Organization wants the methods to be reproduced in other countries https://mag.wcoomd.org/magazine/wco-news-97-issue-1-2022/geospatial-data-niger-customs/ #surveillance #neocolonialism #geospatial @immigration @geography @geopolitics #freemovement #borders #fortresseurope #imperialism #france #niger #bordersurveillance

@jackLondon Complex. Norway has fewer wolves than Sweden, and most of them enjoy #FreeMovement across the border with Sweden. There is the occasional hunt in Norway, but AFAIK no national policy on culling similar to that in Sweden. In Finland there are a few hundred wolves, and public opinion in rural areas is against them. Small-scale culling is planned.

It's difficult to compare Scandinavia with the British Isles, given the low human and livestock density of the former.

"The justification for political authority, including the right of states to police their borders, lies in its presumed superiority over the animal kingdom."

The tortoise strolling across the Albania-Greece border without a care in the world illustrates a fundamental problem with the Hobbesian justification of the state. It has more freedom than you and me.

#FreeMovement is a red line for #Starmer. Well, I have red lines on voting, and am unimpressed with the silly games being played by this would-be prime minister of England. #Brexit

#Globalisation is ultimately freedom of movement of goods, capital, services, & people.

Each of these 4 pillars are equally important

#WhatIf democracies would only agree to trade deals which incl #FreeMovement of labor? No free movement of capital & goods w/o free movement of people & services. We won't trade with you unless you welcome us to live & work as equals where you live & work, & allow your people to come to us as well.

https://www.anothereurope.org/our-time-is-now/ Now is the time to call boldly for change. To organise meaningfully with social justice movements across Europe and beyond. To fight for free movement, workers’ rights and a green transformation. 

Come to our conference Saturday 3 December, meet fellow members and activists in person, and organise for a better future. Our time is now.

EU exemptions to #Schengen rules on #freemovement were imposed after the 2015 refugee crisis. A number of 🇪🇺 states have continued to renew these internal #border checks every 6mths since. In April, the EU Court of Justice declared this practice illegal:

The initiative has great intentions. The implementation requiring the browser of a monopoly fuelled by #surveillanceCapitalism, Chrome by Alphabet Inc., is far remote from consumer protection and relying on @itsmeDigitalID@twitter.com rather that cross-platform #eID means no Linux phones. 👎

#EU wants to implement #greenpassport. There will be no #freemovement. What do we need #EU for?
