@anandmenon.bsky.socialI know. Surprised me.
@anandmenon.bsky.socialCan’t deny it. Loving watching Liverpool get humiliated at home.
@anandmenon.bsky.socialYeah we tried and failed to get a striker in the summer
@uclei.bsky.socialReposted by @anandmenon.bsky.socialWe still recall the outcry when the possibility of de-funding UKICE was first floated a few years ago. Obvs everyone recognises that research funds are limited & need to cover diverse needs. But again today: the loss of UKICE will be felt significantly: they've done a huge service to UK politics.

@robfordmancs.bsky.socialReposted by @anandmenon.bsky.socialIt would seem the Home Office has now acquired the ability to impose, without visibility or accountability, shadow bans on students coming to British universities from particular countries. How? Because of the interaction between indiv visa decisions (made by HO alone) and visa rules for unis 1/?

@anandmenon.bsky.socialFootball is back, thank God. And Arteta is doubtless terrified.
@anandmenon.bsky.socialThank you Schona!
@albertpweale.bsky.socialReposted by @anandmenon.bsky.socialThis a loss to UK policy. Wake up funding agencies to the fact that Europe is our future but we need to behave with intelligence and insight. Bring back UKICE!
@clarerice.bsky.socialReposted by @anandmenon.bsky.socialThe end of an era - what a privilege it has been to be even a small part of the UKICE journey. It will remain a hugely valuable resource, capturing such a significant period of time for the UK & EU. We are all indebted to @anandmenon.bsky.social and the UKICE team for what they achieved with this
@joellegrogan.bsky.socialReposted by @anandmenon.bsky.socialEchoing so many in lamenting the end of such a great organisation led by @anandmenon.bsky.social.
It was a joy for me to spend three years working with brilliant researchers at UKICE to bring evidence-based research from across the social sciences into public and policy debate.
@anandmenon.bsky.socialThough I liked to think that ‘anonymous’ was Starmer and Reeves.
@iandunt.bsky.socialReposted by @anandmenon.bsky.socialWhat these guys did was bigger than Brexit. They showed how you could produce work of an academic quality and distribute it through the media, to improve the standard of national debate. I wish more organisations would learn from what was accomplished here.

@anandmenon.bsky.socialIf only I were that efficient.
