Anyone out there able to help with this study about experiences of stalking? It's open to men, women and non-binary participants.

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway…. 📍 Old Trafford, Matt Busby Way

UK Universities cut 13,300 jobs, paid £300m+ in redundancy. Economic contribution of the HE sector, £265bn. Systematically destroyed by govts - foreign students not welcome, cut real-term grants, fees, students burdened with debts, low staff pay/morale. Govt want skilled labour. archive.ph/favYt

Pretty sure it’s racism which is tearing Britain apart

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... In 2024 only 13 out 19125 NRM applications were deemed to have been made in bad faith. It's disgraceful that UK Labour are continuing the Conservatives false narrative on pervasive abuse of modern slavery protections.

In London, hate will never win.

The reporting on Charlie Kirk’s killer in the UK & US highlights again how fundamentally ill equipped mainstream media is to report on political violence in the digital age. They do not know anything about online far right meme culture & it’s starting to do real harm. #r4today

"Who do they think they are?!" A furious @andyburnham.bsky.social on the news that a Reform UK government would scrap plans to build Northern Powerhouse Rail.

An excellent read for academics wondering what not to prioritise after the 'break'

With UK news shows reporting more than 50,000 small boat migrants have crossed the English Channel since Labour came to power now would be a good time to remind Nigel Farage & others that Brexit has been a primary factor in the sky rocketing number of small boat crossings youtu.be/cKXFjbxSBBI?...

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Well put and really means the question needs to be, not is neuro diversity over diagnosed, but how do we design organisational structures that embrace and build on such diversity www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... Spot on. Come on Labour. Don't reproduce the shortcomings of your predecessors

The #1 most frequently asked question about Copilot in Microsoft Word or Gemini in Google Docs is how do you turn it off.

One really tricky issue with ethnicity data relating to suspects - as opposed to defendants -is that it's based on child victims' perceptions of someone they may not know very well or even at all. That lends itself to a crude 4-fold typology, rooted in British colonialism and remade in police data

🗣️Understanding and rehumanising the harms of hate - powerful reflections from Professor @NeilChakraborti in today’s talk on how we discuss and address hate in society.

"One of the single worst examples of journalism I've ever seen in a British newspaper." @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe what he's reading.

If you see Sir Keir, tell him

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know

Nicely put, Kate and instructive also on gaps and silences that are currently dampening the UK government's chances of having Violence Against Women and Girls with 4.2 years.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... If the UK really were leading the world in combatting modern slavery, it would be reconsidering hosting the brands listed here -Starbucks, Nestlé, Jacobs Douwe Egberts, Dunkin’, Illy and McDonald’s - and advising the public against buying from them.

'big tech could help by stopping the algorithms pushing extreme content to young people who wanted' and if that is the case, then the solutions are more geopolitical and more corporate than is conventional assumed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is very good from @404media.co www.404media.co/a-us-made-ip... Great insight to the barely imaginable complexity of modern tech supply chains and why comparisons (by those on both sides of the debate) with what happened 100 years ago with tariffs are just... well, pointless.

'It starts from a premise which assumes there is such a thing as masculinity and that the answer to gendered problems in society, problems that affect all of us, is more and better gender, or gender done differently; rather than not at all' Serious food for thought

Every leader in Europe should be echoing this loudly too, including UK Labour

I don't understand the framing of this very real problem. For a start, "non-ideological" terrorism is a misnomer. If it's non-ideological, it is, by definition, not terrorism.

‘there is now a worry that REF2029 will enable a different injustice: that institutions can hold onto the outputs of staff they have sacked, while making it harder for them to gain new academic employment because they are no longer linked to the work they created.’ This must be changed.

if you buy used books and want to avoid amazon where possible, check out bookfinder.com you can search essentially every marketplace in one go so you can, e.g., find the same used copy for sale, from the same seller, on biblio.com or ebay instead of amazon or abe (owned by amazon)

Why aren't we doing this in the UK? We could use the estimated £400+million we're spending on #REF2029 to attract the brightest and best academics who would otherwise go to or stay in the US. Long term positive impact on uk productivity and innovation. www.404media.co/french-unive...

the room next door - Donald Trump and Keir Starmer

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
