In fact this *understates* the point here. Tory policy is not (just) to remove benefits but to remove ILR and deport, exactly like the Farage plan the PM correctly described as racist.

First first author paper of Anouck Matthijs on the fact that aging does not affect the ability to compensate for interaction torques during movement planning. Both the timing and scaling of anticipatory EMG activity are preserved with age. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Denk hieraan als je in een talkshow weer een sympathieke clown hoort beweren dat Trump en Musk ergens heus okay zijn. Zonder overgangsregeling zo'n programma stilzetten. Dat is, op zijn minst, dood door schuld. Duizend- en duizendvoud.

Tbh, the whole anti-migrant rhetoric is already making my friends on ILR look at moving. Of course, they’re all the ones with the money and talent *to* move. Which isn’t what politicians are selling as the consequence of ILR-bashing. But it’s what will happen.

The ten year policy in particular is abysmal, as is the mandatory volunteering idea, which has the additional benefit of being absurd. You can imagine them thinking they're bring terribly clever and mapping a middle way. I suspect it'll just make everyone hate them.

Oregon sued the Trump administration over an order to deploy National Guard troops in Portland, with President Trump authorizing the Guard to use “full force, if necessary” in the city. https://wapo.st/4mBSbOb

The PFI disaster Wes Streeting readies more of the NHS for privatisation. Hands £6m to advisers. NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to private equity and corporations. Profits guaranteed. Money will buy less. Higher taxes, lower value. Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

The AfD qualified for three mayoral run-offs in cities in North Rhine-Westphalia today, and lost all by big margins. The lesson is not that we have overdone the AfD's rise, but that we do perhaps sometimes underestimate the counter-mobilisation effects - including in east Germany, incidentally.

Mijn overpeinzingen van vandaag.

Waarom is men verbaasd? Niks logischer dan het negeren van het giftige politieke klimaat dat expliciet gecreëerd door dit flutkabinet, de 4 coalitiepartijen en hun rechts-extremistische leugens. nos.nl/artikel/2583...

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

Avoidable self-harm, in a para

BBC R4 news: ReformUK plans to abolish ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) status for millions of migrants already settled in the UK. When returning to the UK was costly & risky before, it's now out of the question. How do you settle in a place w/ only temporary visas? You don't.

Prinsenvlag, VOC-logo's, nationalistische leuzen, hysterische opruiing, journalisten en politiemannen aangevallen, ruiten partijkantoor D66 ingegooid. VVD-er Heinen: 'Laten we niet alles politiek maken.' De VVD is een verachtelijke partij.

Musk's fellowship of Royal Society in doubt after rally address Elon Musk's controversial comments at the Unite the Kingdom rally in London have raised major doubts over his fellowship of the Royal Society @royalsociety.org should cancel Musk now www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization. This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

Normaal doe ik forecasts over internationale politiek, maar even een uitzondering: er komt een nieuw kabinet VVD+BBB+PVV. Dilan die nu PVV "uitsluit" zal na 29 oktober wederom zeggen dat ze de keuze van de kiezer respecteert en daarom weer met de PVV wil.

Green is the colour of money, the new economy, this new energy and the environment - they overlap, the old way of doing things is over. The right wing kick back is just yesterday’s people arguing for yesterday’s economy. 2/2

This must be a watershed moment. The government's continued use of X is no longer simply negligent. It is an act of conscious assistance to violent extremism.

I think it's waay past time to start asking who is funding these fake protests against immigration in the UK

I can't tell if this is actually more concerning OR if headline should be "the investment bubble has overestimated the efficacy of AI in drug discovery and investors are disappointed by short-term returns" www.ft.com/content/9a8a...

Verder is dit ook de consequentie als je als wielerbond doet alsof het volkomen normaal is dat er een team meerijdt dat reclame maakt voor een land waar kinderen worden uitgehongerd.

Bravo Banksy. 👏 “A new mural by elusive street artist Banksy has appeared on the side of the Royal Courts of Justice building in central London.”

Have you ever heard of predatory journals? Our new study—published this week in Journalism Practice—suggests many science journalists haven't. When they were familiar with predatory journals, most said they weren't worried, confident they'd "be able to spot one if they saw one." Details in 🧵👇

Nederland kun je twintig jaar lang actief zijn voor een racistische partij en alsnog worden uitgezwaaid alsof je een hardwerkende Moeder Theresa bent.

Rather than absolutely, and unquestionably, caving to the far-right and Reform, Labour could be implementing genuine, humane, policies, which ensure people aren't forced into using channel crossings, and actually help communities as a whole. 5/ bsky.app/profile/dani...

Wikipedia editors trying to fend off the onslaught of AI crap have crowdsourced some telltale signs of LLM-generated writing; it might be handy for editors and proofreaders generally. Thanks to @ellenrykers.com for pointing me to it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

De ‘urgentere humanitaire situatie’ in Gaza is mede gecreëerd door de CU zelf, door UNRWA te criminaliseren en de broodnodige hulp stop te zetten. En nu krokodillentranen huilen? Schijnheilige zooi.

Congratulations to Netenyahu in managing to unite the Express and the Guardian in outrage.

The rest of the comments are an open expression of ethnic cleansing. They are confirmation of a war crime.

Dag in dag uit zien we uitgemergelde, verminkte, vermoorde kinderen en hun dierbaren, en nog steeds zijn er mensen die hun schouders ophalen en mompelen: ‘Tja, maar Hamas.’ Wat voor monster ben je dan? Het is huiveringwekkend. Onmenselijk.
