I’m very saddened to hear about Thomas Hylland Eriksen’s passing today. There is much to say about his work, but tonight I am mainly thinking about what a warm and inspiring person he was, a generous and constantly curious thinker of a rare kind. He really will be deeply missed.

I've been running YPAR projects to enhance youth voice and achieve more impactful youth policies. Thanks for putting it together; I find your 'starter pack' really helpful. How do I join?

Public Demands Starmer Resurrects Leveson Press Corruption Inquiry Amid Collapse in Trust in UK Media The mother of late TV presenter Caroline Flack calls for Starmer to "find the courage" to restart it as exclusive new YouGov polling finds public wants reform
