Matt Goodwin's curious definition of ‘white British people'
Goodwin's report claims that 'an analysis of migration, birth and death rates up to the end of the 21st century' predicts that 'white British people' will decline from their current position of 73 per cent of the population to 57 per cent by 2050 before becoming a minority by 2063. Matt Goodwin – the academic turned hard right rabble-rouser – is out stirring things up again, this time with an article in the (inevitably) Daily Telegraph claiming that 'white British people will be a minority in 40 years'. For the purposes of the report, Goodwin defines 'white British people' as 'people who do not have an immigrant parent' – a definition which not only has nobody actually ever used before, but is so broad as to include Winston Churchill, Nigel Farage's children (two born to his Irish first wife, two to his German second), England football captain Harry Kane, England cricket captain Ben Stokes, former ERG chairman Mark Francois, right-wing 'comedian' Jim Davidson, Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath and the actual King. Suggested Reading Matthew Goodwin finally sees the light Rats in a Sack Illustrating his findings with a back-of–a-fag-packet graph of when we will all be subsumed by alien races – the sort popular with 'great replacement' conspiracy types, and which does not add up to 100%, because he's strangely not included non-British white people – Goodwin dons his Morris dancer's uniform to bemoan 'the symbols, traditions, culture and ways of life of the traditional majority group'. 'By the year 2100, and again unless things change, our immediate descendants will be living in a country in which the white British will only comprise one third of the population,' writes Goodwin, fretting about the country he will live in when just 119 years old. Goodwin's Law of the 'white British people' is obviously complete racist nonsense, although its broad sweep has just single-handedly upped the diversity of a Last Night at the Proms audience. And if it allows us to deport Prince Andrew…

3 Reasons For Leaders To Keep Or Start Employee Resource Groups
Ninety percent of Fortune 500 companies have Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), a number that is increasing and expanding, even in times of inclusion pushback. Employees that are a part of ERGs feel more included and engaged at work. They create safety nets for employees to share their experiences and have community, especially during times of high uncertainty. In my interview with Brian K. Reaves, executive vice president and chief belonging, equity, and impact officer of UKG, Reaves said, 'ERGs are a way to leverage diverse perspectives for innovation, drive business success through improved reputation and retention, and improve employee engagement.' Reaves leads the company's global belonging, equity and impact program, expanding existing initiatives while working to strengthen a culture built on trust, fairness and equality, so every employee can thrive in every stage of their career. They have 10 ERGs, with the newest ERG RISE (Rising Innovators Sustaining Excellence). The new ERG focuses on connecting and bridging generations within the workplace and empowering early-career employees to excel and rise to their potential. Since its inception in October 2024, RISE has 450+ members and is growing, with a vision to build a community that actively fosters and promotes individual development to drive innovation through cross-functional knowledge sharing and career growth. ERGs are not just nice to have, they are a must-have in business. UKG's research supports three primary business benefits of ERGs: engagement, retention and innovation. ERGs can significantly increase employee engagement by fostering a culture of trust and inclusivity. According to UKG's Great Place to Work model, nine high-trust behaviors are universal across generations, based on the feedback from 100 million people globally, including: listening, speaking, thanking, developing, caring, sharing, celebrating, inspiring and hiring. ERGs by definition are a place for candid conversations, where differences are celebrated and embraced. This sense of belonging and trust translates to increased engagement, as employees are more likely to be invested in their work and committed to the company's success. Catalyst recently hosted ERG leaders at enERGize, a virtual employee resource group conference that upskills ERG leaders and drives organizational innovation. One of the speakers shared, 'We created a space and environment where people can feel that they're heard and seen. This allowed our team members to come ahead and share their stories,' Nikolay Valchev, senior vice president of finance lead international operations and global diagnostics at Zoetis. Humans are built for stories. Sharing your story not only connects you to team members but to the broader organization. People are less likely to leave organizations when they feel connected and cared for. This is a unique opportunity for ERGs to leverage storytelling and community to bolster retention. Reaves shared that at one of their established ERGs, Nest, which is for caregivers, it is a unique opportunity for first-time parents to have a community of support within the organization. Nest facilitates storytelling and support during critical times in employees' lives. Communities like the Nest ERG help with retention, especially at a crucial time for many caregivers. Reaves sees ERGs as a proxy for their customer base. The employees involved in ERGs mirror the communities and organizations they hope to serve. They help provide perspectives leaders might otherwise miss and give proactive cues to the unmet needs of the marketplace. 'We recommend that employees join an ERG that they have lived experience in or affinity for, and also join one that's a stretch or outside their comfort zone. They are going to learn more by trying to be an ally, and build leadership skills. Our executive sponsors often cite they get more out of the ERG than they put in,' Reaves noted. This perspective taking is necessary for innovation and ensuring an organization's products and services reflect the diversity of its customer base. Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are crucial for fostering inclusivity and engagement in the workplace, leading to increased employee satisfaction and retention. These groups also serve as a platform for diverse perspectives, driving innovation and providing valuable insights into the customer base. Companies benefit from ERGs through improved business success, reputation and a stronger sense of community among employees.

Parabilis Medicines Reports Positive Proof-of-Mechanism Data for Groundbreaking ERG Degrader Program
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Parabilis Medicines (formerly Fog Pharmaceuticals), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to creating extraordinary medicines for people living with cancer, is presenting preclinical data demonstrating first-in-industry targeted degradation of ERG at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, which begins today in Chicago, Illinois. ERG has been a long-recognized high-value target in prostate cancer, where ERG fusions have been implicated in 40-50% of all cases. In metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) specifically, the TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion is associated with more aggressive disease and may predict resistance to certain therapies, such as PARP inhibitors. However, ERG has been undruggable by conventional inhibitors or first-generation degraders because it lacks small molecule binding pockets. Potent and specific degradation of ERG has been achieved with Helicon™ peptide degraders both in vitro and in vivo, leading to substantial tumor growth inhibition in multiple mouse models of prostate cancer. The data represent the first pharmacological proof-of-concept for ERG dependency in preclinical models of ERG-fusion prostate cancer. 'Parabilis's Helicon peptide degraders have thrilling potential to expand the reach of targeted protein degradation to traditionally 'undruggable' targets,' said Mathai Mammen, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Parabilis Medicines. 'These first compelling data from our ERG program validate our novel approach to degradation. The data also support the continued progress of our ERG degrader toward clinical trials, where it has the potential to be a meaningful therapeutic for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.' Highlights of the data presented at AACR include: In mice implanted with prostate cancer cell-derived xenograft (CDX) tumors, administration of the ERG degrader produced >90% tumor ERG degradation through 7 days post dose. This corresponded to suppression of ERG's downstream effects on target gene ARHGDIB. In both patient- and cell-line derived xenograft (PDX and CDX) models of TMPRSS2-ERG fusion prostate cancer, Parabilis's ERG degrader significantly inhibited tumor growth. RNA sequencing expression analyses indicated that Parabilis's ERG degrader downregulated Myc target genes. Parabilis's ERG degrader uses Helicon technology to bind directly to the ERG protein and, through its attached E3 ligand, directs the ERG protein to the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway for degradation. The company anticipates entering IND-enabling toxicology studies in 2025. Parabilis's prostate cancer franchise additionally includes a selective degrader of active androgen receptor (AR), which binds at a different site from approved drugs, and circumvents known resistance mechanisms that arise in response to AR antagonist therapies. Together, Parabilis's degraders of ERG and AR could potentially provide novel therapeutic approaches for patients with mCRPC. About Parabilis Medicines (Formerly Fog Pharmaceuticals) Parabilis Medicines is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to creating extraordinary medicines for people living with cancer. Through its Helicon discovery platform, Parabilis is engineering precisely tuned, stabilized helical peptide therapeutics that have the potential to unlock a large number of traditionally undruggable targets. This versatile platform enables applications for Helicons across three main areas: functional inhibitors of intracellular protein-protein interactions, targeted protein degraders, and targeted radiopharmaceuticals. Parabilis is advancing a pipeline of first-in-class programs across these three domains, led by FOG-001, its clinical-stage β-catenin TCF4 inhibitor. Parabilis is headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., and is well-capitalized, with more than $500 million raised to date from leading life sciences investors. For more information, please visit:
