Safe and legal routes must be a pillar of our asylum system
The recent heart-breaking incident in the Channel demonstrates that the current asylum system is broken. At least 27 people, including 17 men, seven women - one of whom was pregnant - and three children drowned in the deadliest crossing on record. If something positive is to come from this, as it did from the tragic death of Aylan Kurdi in 2015, it will be a major shift in the will and determination of governments to act decisively and swiftly.

The Policing Bill is one of the most serious threats to human rights and civil liberties in the UK’s recent history
Soft power is how a country’s cultural and economic influence can persuade others to do something. It is summed up in the often-repeated line that “people are more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power.” And it is a key part of the UK's approach to strengthening democracy and defending our values around the world.

Lords Diary: Lord Clement Jones
Down the corridor in the Commons, early November was dominated by No 10’s Owen Paterson U-turn and in Glasgow by events at COP26 – but for me it was an opportunity to raise a number of issues relevant to innovation and the development of technology and the future of our creative industries. It started with the great news that Queen Mary University of London, whose council I chair, after many trials and tribulations, has agreed a property deal next to our Whitechapel campus with the Department of Health and Social Care. It paves the way for the development, with Barts Life Sciences, of a major research centre within a new UK Whitechapel Life Sciences Cluster.
