Artificial intelligence will reshape our economy, public services & democracy
Preparing the next generation of responsible AI leaders matters
That’s why we're launching Collingwood Centre for AI, Ethics & Leadership at @collingwooddurham.bsky.social later this year

As Parliament debates reforms to settlement & citizenship, the key policy question is integration.
Evidence from my research suggests reforms to the Life in the UK test & clearer pathways to settlement could strengthen both social cohesion and public confidence.
I’m so amazingly proud of our brilliant @collingwooddurham.bsky.social Music Society. Terrific show tonight! #LoveTheBest @durham.ac.uk
Good to see the Government’s new strategy on social cohesion: Protecting What Matters.
A confident UK depends on stronger integration, shared civic values and confronting extremism.
This agenda will be central to national resilience in the years ahead.

As Parliament looks again at settlement and citizenship policy, the real long-term challenge is integration.
Evidence suggests reforms to the Life in the UK test and clearer pathways to settlement could strengthen both social cohesion and public confidence.
Look forward to reading book
As govt looks at reforms to settlement and citizenship, evidence from my research suggests three practical improvements:
1️⃣ Reform the Life in the UK test
2️⃣ Create clearer pathways to settlement
3️⃣ Strengthen civic integration expectations
These could strengthen both integration & public confidence.
Great to see @collingwooddurham.bsky.social Dance Society show tonight - spectacular! #LoveTheBest @durham.ac.uk
Public confidence in immigration policy depends on fairness, control & meaningful integration. Home Sec’s reforms recognise settlement follows contribution—an important step toward a fair & sustainable system.

Economic security, like settlement, must rest on contribution and sustainability. The Spring Statement recognises that prosperity must be built — not borrowed. #springstatement
Public trust is earned through competence. Reducing backlogs, enforcing rules fairly, and supporting integration locally are practical steps that matter more than performative politics.
Great to be back in Parliament discussing legal reform with MP, Peers and Attorney General
Foreign policy is a test of character.
Today’s statement on Iran reflects steadiness over spectacle, law over impulse and security without escalation.
That is how Britain should lead.

Immigration has enriched Britain for generations. But public confidence depends on fairness, clarity and control. Strong borders and strong integration go hand in hand. Serious leadership means delivering both — calmly and pragmatically.
At a moment when politics can feel overheated, the Prime Minister’s calm and pragmatic leadership is exactly what the country needs. Serious challenges require seriousness of purpose — not noise. Steady, measured government builds lasting trust.
This is what a team looks like that won 117-0. Well done @collingwooddurham.bsky.social rugby!
Winning a General Election requires discipline, credibility and a clear plan for the country. The focus must stay on delivery and long-term change, not the politics of mere protest. That’s why I back Labour.
Great to attend Guildhall lecture by @durham.ac.uk Chancellor Dr Fiona Hill speaking good sense
