Today my sister is graduating and getting conferred with Doctor of Philosophy in Medicinal Chemistry.
Doing a throw back to her academic years past and present
Ngl, I’m fucking proud of her.
Let’s go
The General Secretary TUC @nowak_paul is absolutely correct. Foreign National Prison Officers and their families are being let down by the latest announcement by the Home Secretary @ShabanaMahmood and the silence from HMPPS has been awful. That is why I have written to the Home Secretary seeking an urgent meeting with a view to rectifying this situation. Steve Gillan Gen Sec
Paul Nowak, "Let's say this about migration. Quite often it turns into a political ping pong match, and what we're actually talking about is people"
"This is a city that was built on migration - both my grandads came to this country during the WII, one with the Polish RAF, one from HK. They both met Liverpool Irish women and they stayed and settled in this country"
"They worked throughout their lives. Contributed to the economy, like millions of migrants do"
"It would be untenable for them to be in a situation where when in Liverpool they're told, it doesn't matter, you could be here 15 years, 20 years, and we'll decide whether you can stay"
"How do you build a life? How do you plan your life, but a house, put the kids in school, decide what you're going to do about work"
"Changing the rules when people are already here is untenable"
"The government has taken the right approach on social care - work five years and have the right to settle"
"I'd like to see them extend that - we've got a problem in our prison service, with transport, and more broadly"
"We've got an aging population, and with a growing economy people are always going to want to live and work in the UK"
"In social care, we have 111,000 staff vacancies. Minimum wage is the prevailing wage. Far too many on insecure zero hour countracts"
"We also need employers to step up. Far too many don't invest in skills and training - its half the EU average"
"So a fair managed migration system but also asking employers to step up to the plate and invest in training"
My view:
Migration debates are full of politicians talking about numbers and targets, with far too little thought for the people whose lives they’re discussing.
People come here legally, take jobs we need doing, pay taxes and build a life. They buy homes, raise children and become part of their communities. Changing the settlement rules after they’ve spent years working towards them is a betrayal of the basis on which they planned their future.
How can a government demand that people integrate while keeping them uncertain about whether they’ll be allowed to stay?
Paul Nowak is also right to put responsibility on employers. If you’re struggling to recruit, what are you offering? Decent pay? Secure hours? Training and a future in the job? Or minimum wage, insecure contracts and then complaints that nobody wants to work?
A fair migration system needs clear, dependable rules, alongside employers investing in the people who keep their businesses and our public services running.

𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐀'𝐒 𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐌𝐘 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒, 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐀 𝐔𝐒𝐃 1 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐆𝐃𝐏
Abuja, September 1, 2026 — Nigeria's economy continues to demonstrate resilience and accelerating growth with the second quarter of 2026 real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanding by 4.43 per cent year-on-year, up from 4.23 per cent in Q2 2025 and 3.89 per cent in Q1 2026.
The strong Q2 2026 outturn lifted real GDP growth for the first half of 2026 to 4.16 per cent, up from 3.68 per cent in the corresponding period of 2025, a clear signal of sustained strengthening across the economy.
Growth is also becoming more broad-based. In Q2 2026, 27 economic subsectors recorded real growth above 3.0 per cent, up from 23 subsectors in Q2 2025, showing that expansion is no longer concentrated in a handful of industries.
The productive sectors led the way. Manufacturing grew by 3.24 per cent, more than double the 1.60 per cent recorded in Q2 2025, reflecting improved industrial output. Agriculture expanded by 4.39 per cent, up from 2.82 per cent, underscoring stronger production and value-chain performance. Services, the largest driver of growth, expanded by 4.60 per cent, up from 3.94 per cent.
The relative stability and steady appreciation of the exchange rate further amplified these gains in dollar terms. The naira appreciated by more than 12 per cent between H1 2025 and H1 2026, resulting in an expansion of the economy by approximately 17 per cent in U.S. dollar terms over the period, a pace that, if sustained along with the various social programmes of the Government, will meaningfully strengthen dollar incomes, improve purchasing power and lift millions of Nigerians out of poverty.
Given this momentum, Nigeria is well positioned to consolidate its standing among Africa's largest economies and to advance toward the Government's target of a USD 1 trillion economy by 2030. The International Monetary Fund has already ranked Nigeria among the top 10 contributors to global real GDP growth in 2026, projecting the country to account for roughly 1.5 per cent of world growth this year, ahead of several advanced and emerging economies.
Continued macroeconomic stability, sustained growth across productive sectors, and improving investor confidence would accelerate Nigeria's progression toward becoming Africa's largest economy by 2028.
These results underscore the importance of sustaining our reforms and ensuring policy consistency as their benefits begin to reach households across the country. The Government remains focused on accelerating inclusive growth and translating these macroeconomic gains into shared prosperity for every Nigerian family.
