Tell the world you're not interested in leading scientific research any longer without telling the world etc etc

Just got to say it - @greenparty.org.uk great job on @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social Zach Polanski! 👍🏽 Even though I'm a member of the @libdems.org.uk - and look forward to seeing Ed Davey give shills for the oligarchs a piece of his mind, too.

Yet more for those who think publishing isn’t political.

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

If the Prime Minister was serious about protecting Britain from Trump's illegal war in Iran, he would back our plan to Keep Britain Moving. That means cutting fuel duty, cutting train fares and a £1 cap on bus fares.

Duh, thanks, we know. Your boys got his orders.

The Government™ has made an ad about the era we're living through, and it's surpsingly honest and informative.

Astonishingly UK gov has awarded 34 contracts worth £900m to US-based Palantir, including a 7-year £330m contract to handle NHS patient data. There are major concerns about this, given Palantir’s links to the CIA, its contracts with the IDF, and its co-founder Peter Thiel being a major Trump donor.

Hmm, looks like it may have been a mistake to sign up to @rawstory.com newsletters. Because why? smuggled misinformation using misleading link to a fake BBC story, ie fake site looking like BBC, fake story. Just opened todays email and here's a story apparently about Starmer.

More research is necessary but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalised vaccine are still alive six years later.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬 This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

Clownishly evil sociopaths like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Larry Ellison and Benjamin Netanyahu should be *nowhere near* the levers of global power—and increasingly both the left *and* the right see it. So what do we do now?

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

Trump's agenda was always about destruction not reform. Everything good or honourable about the USA irritates him - he wants power and violence to be projected in all spheres.

Obama once said the word “arugula” and the media flipped out

Sitting on a bench in a nearby meadow by the river and behind a tree a little further along someone is singing traditional Chinese songs. 🥰 Not that I know any but I recognize the tune the kids chorus from Turandot, which is based on 'Mo Li Hua' ( Jasmine Flower'.)

Those Iran viral propaganda videos are disturbing. There's enough truth in them to resonate, but then you remember that their regime imprisons and kills its own people by the thousands for wrongthink and supplies drones to murder Ukrainian civilians in their homes. So hypocritical.

Zelensky just out with a long comment after the latest Ramstein meeting. Optimistic and gives thanks to many partners. Not a single mention of the US helping Ukraine. The Ukrainians are not hiding the fact that the US is no longer their friend.

Exeter University are offering free GCSEs for children in elected home education, noting that many children across Devon and Cornwall are in EHE the majority "off-rolled" or with unmet SEN. #autism #education www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They own this. Whatever disasters continue to unfold belong not to the president and his Cabinet alone, but to the entire Republican Party.

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

Well done Hungary 😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 See, America, it is possible. Your turn next, you too can throw out your grifting, buffoonish fascistic leader.

Jokes aside, this is an incredibly important day for freedom and democracy and, most importantly, for basic common sense and human dignity, in the spirit of 1989.

Brilliant news from Hungary! If I never hear Victor Orban's name ever again it will be too soon. And I don't even live in Hungary or the EU, but my gosh was it upsetting to hear how much he was conning the Hungarian people and blocking assistance for Ukraine.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar and the Hungarian people on successfully ousting Viktor Orban after years of corruption and authoritarianism — and depriving Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump of their key European ally.

Bertrand Waucquez is mayor of Kraainem🇧🇪 He is 65 and works 60 hours a week. Despite his demanding schedule, Bertrand learned Ukrainian from scratch, so he could not only communicate with refugees, but help preserve a culture that russia is trying to destroy🧵

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

I love this photo of astronaut Christina Koch looking back at Earth from Artemis II. She's the first woman to see the full sphere of our beautiful planet. Welcome home to the crew, and thank you for reminding us of all we can discover together.

America First. After Israel, Russia and Hungary.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

If you enjoyed @therestpolitics.bsky.social interview with Pres Zelensky and want more Ukraine here the film we made about my visit there. Some truly inspiring people, especially the young women whose defiant optimism is a form of courage. Nice to bump into ex MP Jack Lopresti! Link in replies

Researcher at UCL is tracking actions by Trump regime moving USA towards authoritarianism. At this point, records kept outside of USA might be considered safe. Which is why authoritarian regimes seek to control other nations too www.trumpactiontracker.info

The war with Iran delayed Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. The war with Iran got people to stop talking about Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. So both men had corrupt motives for colluding to start a senseless war. Because they only care about themselves, not the people they kill.

If I had to choose a single thought which haunts me most, it’s this. And it has animated me for years. This thing has been growing and metastasizing for almost a decade. And every passing year we’ve grown more hoarse trying to get someone to give a shit.

And this is Obukhiv, a city near Kyiv. This morning, russia sent new drones to hit residential buildings and murder more people there. Help protect Ukrainian cities and their residents from this horror: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Hilarious how for years serious people have said that you can't rely on renewables because they are prone to disruptions in supply www.ft.com/content/19f1...

I know I keep re-upping this but on TDoV we need to make sure the really serious harm being done to trans children by Streeting, Starmer, Cass & others that is being systematically ignored by mainstream media is visible. The ἀμαθία (amathia) of Streeting and Starmer is harming & killing children.

Am not an energy analyst but why does seem every interview with a U.K. minister this week included a pointed question about why not drilling more in North Sea and almost none about renewables/net zero as an energy security imperative? It’s bizarre, frankly

My favourite thing about Bucha massacre is that while it's a staged, false flag western psyop that didn't happen, you can also buy t shirts that say we can do it again..

People in Atlanta discover what we called 'tea' where I grew up. Fingers crossed they'll find 'supper' too. It's only a couple of digestives, probably fallen between the sofa cushions.
