All of this is utterly hollow and hypocritical when you retain the Fellowship of someone making the world less safe, less inclusive. Someone who performed a Nazi salute on the world stage, someone destabilising western democracies. Where is your line? How far will you enable fascism?
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the first women elected as Fellows of the Royal Society, Marjory Stephenson FRS and Kathleen Lonsdale FRS. On Monday and Tuesday we will release two short documentaries to celebrate these trailblazing women. Watch the trailer and stay tuned to see the full films:

Something most of us can agree on is, we are here to escape Musk. He’s a dangerous character.
And it’s not often I get political on here but this is something I feel very strongly about.
We need to stop him or Farage may well be our next PM. Fellow Brits, please take a mo to sign this.

Tory Shadow minister Helen Whately just caught on #PoliticsLive telling total porkies. She just said the Tories over 14 years presided over a reduction in UK debt. 100% untrue. UK debt between 2010 & 2024 TREBLED: the exact opposite of it falling. Total Tory fiction on finances.
