I do also enjoy the rigour that is current affairs, mainly focused on the UK, US and the Middle East. I am looking to pursue a PhD after my LLM studies offering a TWAIL study of jus ad bellum.edit

This was an article that I wrote for an inter-disciplinary postgraduate journal at Keele University. It is an observation of Brexit through constitutional law. I utilised the rule of law to see whether the Brexit process was accessible, equal and adhered to basic notions of human rights.
Research Interests:
This was the associated powerpoint presentation of my article, 'Brexit: A rule of law consideration'.

Brexit is a complex process. As this author wrote before, it is very easy to say that one wants to leave the European Union but how does one actually do it? Since enacting Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, the United Kingdom has suffered economically, politically and socially but for better or for worse, the Brexit process is going ahead. The latest news is that an agreement has been made for the transitional period from ‘Brexit day’ on the 29 March 2019 to the 31 December 2020. With writing the last piece where the discussion was observing the initial Brexit process through a rule of law lens, this piece will take that analysis further by focusing upon the position of EU nationals within the Brexit process. Has the Brexit process provided EU nationals with accessibility, equality and the upholding of their human rights?

The UK is divided on Jeremy Corbyn. To say the least, he has ignited the Labour Party in a way not seen since Tony Blair. In the terms of membership, the Labour Party has grown exponentially and it will continue to grow as time progresses. However, the problem is not what this piece will label as ‘Corbynists’ (those who follow Jeremy Corbyn as the Labour Leader) but the demonization that Corbyn faces for his more principled narrative. This narrative has been marred with constant comparisons to a far-left socialist rhetoric. Instead of attempting to identify whether the principled narrative aligns with a far-left socialist rhetoric, this piece will explore this narrative to determine whether opponents to Corbynism, are seen to be the new McCarthyists?

The war on terror throws many complexities, be it moral, political or societal. However, this research is focused on its legality. Every individual in society will have a perspective upon the war on terror. It is important to take an open-minded approach (void of emotion, distress and irrationality) to look at the way in which states have created lawful or unlawful responses to terrorism. The questions that I will ask when taking this approach are whether the use of force used by the US, UK and other states from 2008 is legal and if so, how?
