The UK Treasury is losing £90bn a year due to Brexit, and UK GDP has fallen by 6-8%. Farage was happy to claim credit for Brexit. He should also claim credit for the economic damage.

I’ve just emailed energy secretary Ed Miliband asking him to send the frackers packing, for good. We need a full fracking ban in England and existing loopholes closed. There’s a short window to act – get involved! foe.uk/79uit @friends-earth.bsky.social

A lovely run out at Henlow Bridge Lakes #parkrun and a happy 91st birthday to Roger the run director.

Shameful that Parliament makes no effort to rein in Farage or Cox to reasonable levels (= £40k on an MP’s salary). F & C clearly are full time on non-Parliament tasks. And utterly dixgraceful that a massive Labour majority & a supposed Labour government does no reform at all. (Diagram Harry Eccles)

The UK’s second chamber shouldn’t be determined by birthright. Our latest blog dives into the curious case of a lost Lords reform bill — and why democracy demands better.

AI is already being used in schools across the country. But our research found growing inequalities in how schools are adopting the technology and what they’re doing to help teachers to use it. Here's how we can address this rapidly emerging issue ⬇️

The government’s reasons for cancelling these elections are not good enough.

Too many members of the House of Lords, who are fundamentally opposed to the Bill, have been trying to time it out. This undermines genuine amendments to improve the Bill. Peers have every right to oppose it, but not to employ disingenuous tactics to stop it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Across the Atlantic, union solidarity runs strong 💪 David Hecker from the American Federation of Teachers thanks UK higher education staff for the incredible teaching and research they do every day and joins the call to vote YES for fair pay, job security, and the future of higher education.

Gotta love Private Eye. Always cuts through the crap.

Just in case anyone is listening, please note that UK universities cannot operate successfully on the basis of continuous reduction of academic staff and academic staff pay. No amount of staff wellness sessions will change this.

On the Sunday Times front page: Our revelation that vice-chancellors have already tried to axe over 15,000 staff. Despite this, Labour wants to reduce university income. It cannot continue. HE members, when your ballot arrives: Vote YES‼️ www.thetimes.com/uk/education...

“50% of FE lecturers leave within three years. In HE, 15,000 redundancies are looming. If Labour are serious, we need commitments: close the pay gap, stop the cuts, and invest in education. Otherwise today’s speech is hollow.” @drjogrady.bsky.social on sophyridge.bsky.social tonight.
