Vance's "wrecking ball" speech at the '25 Munich Security Conference ended the post-WWII order. So where are we today? A good place to start is the newly released 2026 Munich Security Report, "Under Destruction". coilink.org/20.500.12592/9…

.@jonathanwatts the link to the green energy in China report on which you base your article in today's @guardian leads to a 404 and I can't find any reference to it on the @CarbonBrief website. Is it still under embargo or has Carbon Brief withdrawn it?

@KemiBadenoch Simple solution to the ‘rule taker’ problem: rejoin!
English
12 years access to British waters is three times longer than the govt wanted.
We’re becoming a rule-taker from Brussels once again.
And with no details on any cap or time limits on Youth Mobility, fears of free movement returning will only increase.
This is very concerning.

BREAKING: The UK-EU deal via @AlbertoNardelli *Keir Starmer has made a major late concession on fisheries to allow the EU TWELVE YEARS ongoing access to British waters on status quo arrangements. They will now expire in 2038. UK had originally sought just a four year extension. *In return the EU has not time-limited the SPS deal, although the UK will still have to accept dynamic alignment. *UK will also join Erasmus+ in another win for the EU. *But the EU will remove barriers to allow British visitors to use e-gates within the EU and will work to ease travel for for artists, a win for Starmer to fix two of the most obvious Brexit impacts. *EU says it will work swiftly to explore British participation in its defence fund. Language there is limited. *The rest of the documents are commitments to work on future deals, ie on a youth exchange scheme, rather than finalised arrangements.

@Keir_Starmer 1. I’m not angry about immigration.
2. Since Brexit, UK has had full control of its borders, so how can you ‘take it back’?
3. Will you allow asylum seekers to work?
4. Easiest/cheapest way to smash people smuggler gangs? Enable asylum seekers to apply in Calais.
English
I know you're angry about immigration. I get it.
Mark my words: I will take back control of our borders.
That means cutting migration, ending the use of asylum hotels, and ramping up our efforts to stop small boat crossings.
We will smash the people smuggling gangs at source.

Supply our own fuel
Build our own supplies
Export the excess
Reinvest in the UK
Just like we used to.

And one day we will take back control

@carolinejmolloy @leicesterliz You may find some evidence in our database of reports from policy organisations. The search <“work coaches” AND “mental health”> produces 500+ hits
policycommons.net/search/?q=%E2%…
English
This is a good point. Where’s the *evidence* for the benefit of lightly trained “job coaches” in mental health wards, @leicesterliz?
What kind of evidence is it? Peer reviewed? Ethics panel? Randomised?
Let’s have a proper look at it.
Beats Surrender@BeatsSurrender
Liz Kendall has said there is strong evidence , where is it ? This is 1 study from Switzerland Key point is it’s voluntary It’s offered to patients as part of support package Not imposed upon them

@Richard08156270 @ernestopriego I thought the next REF was swinging away from looking at where scholars publish in favour of looking at the impact of the research they do? Have you heard of Hidden Ref? It’s promoting the inclusion of non-journal/book outputs in the REF.
English
@ernestopriego @TobyABGreen Routledge/TandF remains the most utilised imprint for REF purposes by AHSS scholars. And doubtless will be next time too. No real evidence to suggest the contrary as yet.
English
@ernestopriego Publishing with for-profits isn’t necessarily more expensive, some for-surplus (I.e. society-owned journals) charge similar prices. What about Diamond OA journals? Are there none in your field?
English
@acagamic None of these specialise in grey literature aka valuable research content that’s hidden. If you want a hidden advantage in your lit reviews, you’ll include @Policy_Commons in your search plan. 16mn publications from >20k organizations.
English
The hidden advantage behind transformative lit reviews isn't genius—it's knowing where to look:
• Google Scholar: Catch-all
• Scopus: Massive
• PubMed: Biomed
• CORE: Open-access hub
• Science gov: US gov resources
• Europe PMC/bioRxiv: Biomed
Which one's your go-to?

@jessicaelgot @KemiBadenoch logic: public health has gone too far. There was a time when polio was commonplace and people were having more babies. 🙄#causalfallacy
English
NEW - Kemi Badenoch tells Times Radio that maternity pay has "gone too far."
“We need to have more personal responsibility. There was a time when there wasn’t any maternity pay and people were having more babies.”
English
@acagamic Couple of additional things to add:
1. Know where you’ll post the pre-print
2. Plan how you will promote your results and engage with audiences (because publishing is not an end point, it’s the beginning of the communication and engagement phase that drives impact).
English
These tips aren't just theory. They're battle-tested strategies from a researcher who is in the trenches every day.
I write.
I mentor.
I publish.
What are you waiting for to get started?
English
Why top researchers spend more time planning than doing
(and why you should too)
1. Pick your problem early
Don't wait. Choose your research problem when you start grad school.
2. Build on existing work
Your research should stand on the shoulders of giants. Use the literature.
