Today I was told to take out a line about being a mentor to students from diverse backgrounds and historically underrepresented groups from my biosketch for a proposal, because it might damage our chances of getting federal funding.

How has it come to this? I feel absolutely sick.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Benefit cheats could be stripped of driving licences.

Someone innocently exceeding the Carer's earning limit is charged with fraud, can't drive, many not be able to work, can't support family, needs more benefits.

Hawks are appeased

No equivalent sanctions for tax abusers, launderers, real crooks
Benefit cheats could lose driving licences in anti-fraud drive
A proposed new law will also give ministers greater powers to request bank account information.

I talked to LBC about how both climate breakdown and catchment mismanagement helped cause the latest, terrible floods, and the intense frustration of spending 40 years banging your head against the wall about such issues.

On Elon Musk’s repeated attacks on Keir Starmer’s government Sky’s @samcoatessky.bsky.social rightly points out

“If we were talking about a figure close to the Kremlin or the government in Moscow we would be asking the question whether this was foreign interference”

1. The difference so far (and for god's sake let's keep it that way) between X and Bluesky is not between right and left but between abuse and respect.
A good society is built on mutual respect. But what does this mean?
