Uni of Staffs confirmed plans to shut the art shop as part of its cost-cutting measures.

We've been talking an awful lot about how the Trump tariffs will hit the big players: the UK, China, Canada, France, Germany etc But it's time to talk about the ones who DON'T have loud voices. Because some of the poorest countries in the world are going to be crippled by what happened last night

“They are going to deliver!” 🎤🎶🎸

James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Always a pleasure to speak to Charmaine about the important work she’s doing to preserve Britain’s Romany heritage

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

Energy firm Cuadrilla has announced it will start work on plugging the UK's only two shale gas wells in February - around two months after the deadline for doing so passed.

Heartbreaking. Inexcusable. Infuriating.

“Sometimes you'll only get paid what your phone bill is and sometimes it will only cover your travel and food.” 🎶🎙️

“We're just there to have fun but we can't give the contenders an easy time." 💪👊

What’s particularly galling about this story for me is that I was in Strangers Bar less than 24 hours after this chatting with an MP about their concerns over how rampant and unchallenged sexual harassment is in Westminster This is the heart of our democracy, it’s sick news.sky.com/story/spikin...

Obsessed with this accidental zoom-in on Sky News.

Almost 100 strikes in the IDF's unilaterally designated "humanitarian zone" in Gaza - and this figure doesn't take into account the many reported strikes which didn't have imagery from the scene for us to verify. W/ @richib.bsky.social and @paulybrown.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Cheshire used to be near the equator and there was this big tropical salt water lagoon in the area and water used to flood in and would then evaporate and then reflood, laying down layers of salt.”

BBC Verify has examined 24 hours of Elon Musk's timeline and found a wave of misinformation amplified in the posts. Watch the video by @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

"My life is a mess... this last week, I have been retraumatized..." by Elon Musk's antics, victims of UK grooming gangs told ex-Chief Prosecutor for North West England @nazirafzal.bsky.social, who locked up a lot of grooming gangs (both brown & white!). He tells me Musk is "rewriting history."

As Musk interviews the AfD's leader, here is a recent #BBCNews investigation into the party - Going to the extreme: Inside Germany’s far right www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-e...

NEW: Andrew Norfolk broke the grooming gang story, 15 years ago. His exclusive interview on today’s News Agents is deeply powerful, not least for his anger about those political figures now exploiting it and the victims for their own purposes. Listen 👇 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Elon Musk, who supports the GOP and * Donald Trump, found liable for sexual abuse * Matt Gaetz, investigated for sex trafficking * Peter Hegseth, accused of rape … is going to save the UK from rapists, apparently. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Congrats Emily 🐬🎖️ @emilygcunningham.bsky.social

“It’s absolutely horrifying seeing so many names and faces who have lost their lives needlessly. Every one of these deaths could have been prevented." Heartbreaking, harrowing, and something to reflect on going into 2025 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

I've realised Noam Chomsky looks like Treebeard

3 more people have drowned in the Channel. I'll be on Sky News in a moment to talk about it. Again. What can I say to convince someone that we can have a policy of life at the border, instead of one of always more death?

“It's a place they can come and know they're welcome, cared about and valued just for who they are.” ❤️

Changes set to be made to a key Stoke-on-Trent Levelling Up project at Longton’s Crown Works as developer OVI Homes Ltd faces potential compulsory strike off. My exclusive for Daily Focus - Staffordshire Business News. daily-focus.co.uk/2024/12/futu... 👀

Surely this is the opposite of woke in that people are going to sleep earlier, no?

"What a dream that would be." 🩵🎤

Denmark refuses to extradite whaling activist Paul Watson to Japan, says lawyer

Mishal Husain’s last day on #r4today this morning. She’s the best of their presenters by far in my opinion. Capable of balance, & of rigorous, devastating interviews, without ever getting shrill, or hectoring & speaking over her interviewees. A real loss for the BBC.

That’s a lot of candles 🎂🥳

“This can never happen again - we are in shock."

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of a woman in Coventry.

A man who was killed by a falling tree during Storm Darragh has been named locally as Kher Hussain Shahin

“We've been around for a long time and hopefully we'll be around for a lot more time to come.”

“We want her to be remembered for her positivity, infectious laugh and for helping others.”

Thoughts on today’s Farmer Protests in Westminster. As me and my camera crew drive back to Brum. First. Has to be considered a success in terms of turnout. Especially considering snow for many setting off.

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans. #Newsnight
