The 10 reasons examined in the report.
Authored with @alicedonald.bsky.social @victoriaadamant.bsky.social BaΕak ΓalΔ± & Philip Leach
It's important to talk about #humanrights as they affect all of us.
But most important in any debate on reform or #ECHR withdrawal is to have the evidence first.
Out today: a report examining the evidence for 10 reasons to stay in the ECHR from Oxford University's Bonavero Institute.
Great to hear this!
for those interested the report is here

Thanks so much for sharing this, @chrischirp.bsky.social - really appreciate your kind words. And it turns out the BBC has quoted us in its official response:

The @demos-uk.bsky.social Our BBC report is rooted in solid evidence & analysis, & inputs from experts & stakeholders, so it is hugely gratifying to see that the #BBC quoted us twice in its own official response (see my read-along on - sorry - LinkedInπ)...

Does anyone know what to do when thereβs a swap #scam on #Vinted? My wife ordered something, but the package she received contained something else - the seller swears she sent the coat, Vinted want the label beneath the label (physically impossible to separate), & refusing to refund her.

And with the added pressure of the <ahem> fanopticonβ¦
(VAR, offside sensors, goal line visualisations, cameras from every conceivable angle, Zapruder footage of blatant fouls/cheating, refcam, shoecam, ballcam, the weird one on strings and pulleys)

Phew!
We must always guard against that - but I think the environment has changed a little, & this Green Paper is infinitely more supportive to the BBC than the last one, which is an opportunity. I mean it even says - bringing a tear to my jaded eye - that it is about more than fixing market failure!
Maybe! Once you remove the Sword of Damocles from over the BBC's head - i.e. give it a permanent Charter, & get the big picture defences for its independence & accountability right - we believe it will make it a healthier environment in which to test out how best to build on that!
@chrischirp.bsky.social, we drew on your essential UCL Policy Lab report on Strengthening the Institutions (which should be widely read and heeded!) in this @demos-uk.bsky.social report on the BBC.
