The Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement (A-UKFTA) has entered into force.
It's been good to meet businesses who are excited to take up the benefits of the FTA, including enhanced mobility arrangements, tariff elimination, increased services opportunities & more two-way investment.

It may seem appalling that someone who was born and raised in the UK, who has worked & contributed taxes can be denied British citizenship but sadly this is NOT an anomaly. Angela Jones' story is not just about Home Office incompetence; it's also about British citizenship rules
🧵Angela Jones, a British citizen born and raised in the UK, finds herself stateless after her passport application was shockingly rejected. This story highlights the dire consequences of flawed immigration policies. #PeopleMove

Very nice work, not in the least bc consistent w work I have been doing! I also suspect phenomenon is even broader than your measures of PRRP electoral 'success'. I suspect even the greater prominence (in defeat) of PRRPs prompted everyone else to signal more pro-imm attitudes.
🚨 What happens to public immigration support when right-wing populists win? 🚨
Our new paper w @JamesRDennison, just accepted at POQ, shows populist victories surprisingly relate to more *positive* immigration attitudes or what we call "reverse backlash"
