'Will you strive for all that makes for peace? We will.'
On this #RemembranceDay, we honour and remember the courage and sacrifice of those who lost their lives in war and conflict. May we carry forward their legacy with a commitment to peace.

@UniofOxford chief diversity officer @timsout eloquently makes the case for why respecting diversity and protecting free speech are twin virtues, not values in tension. @FreeSpeechUnion cherwell.org/2024/10/17/oxfo…

If you are a man & have not looked at the content of attacks on women politicians, do so. The level, intensity, violence & vileness is extreme & unacceptable. We must work together to counter it on #InternationalWomensDay & through this year of elections. bsg.ox.ac.uk/blog/strengthen…
A message from our Dean @NgaireWoods this International Women's Day.

ALT Ngaire Woods, founding Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government, with a quote which says: "On International Women's Day, while we celebrate and shine a light on the seismic achievements of women around the world, we must also look carefully at where these are threatened. One urgent area for concern, in a year of so many elections, is the rising intensity and violence of threats being faced by women political leaders. In a year of elections, we must protect women's freedom to run and represent, or we will risk a backsliding of democracy."

Want to work for one of Labour's 411 MPs? Labour have a new website for expressions of interest in a variety of different roles. I've often thought something like this should exist - much needed coordination of talent!

So proud of @MansfieldOxford poet and writer Brennig Davies; and to think we wrote poems together in the pandemic with @KateClanchy1 and @BallasterRos . It’s going to be my old age boast I just know it.
Fans of Bren Davies' poems - this is his first broadcast short story on this afternoon. @MansfieldColle1 @HelenMountfield
