For 61 years the #BBCWorldService has been broadcasting the latest in science via its weekly Science in Action programme. That dies in the next half hour, with this final edition, reflecting on the fall in trust in expertise driven by malign interests over recent years.

The vast majority of 'journalists' that normalise racism or bigotry are usually the last ones to face its consequences. It's all just talking points and entertainment to them.🤬

In shock news, Liz Truss's Stilton and Cheddar deal with Japan... actually led to a year on year decrease in Stilton and Cheddar exports to Japan.

Jonathan Calder @lordbonkers.bsky.social · 10d

The deal was largely a rollover of the one the European Union already had with Japan, but Truss had fought for better access for Stilton and cheddar.

Liz Truss's drive for Stilton exports to Japan proved a flop

Do these deportations extend to the grandchildren of migrants who came to the UK to escape persecution (like herself)?

Jessica Elgot @jessicaelgot.bsky.social · 12d

A Conservative MP tipped as a future party leader has been condemned for saying large numbers of legally settled families must be deported, in order to ensure the UK is mostly “culturally coherent”.

The misogyny in the comments is off the scale. It's a sport requiring the ability to throw 'arrows' at a target board, not a contest of physical prowess except over time. Yet some men have a problem with that 🤷🏾‍♀️

And naive people want to claim that Labour and the Tories are the same...

Disillusioned With Conservatives @neverevertory.bsky.social · 27d

Tories have announced plans for £47bn annual public spending cuts to pay for tax cuts & tax rebates.

This means:

• 67% cut (£7bn) to international development
• 25% cut (£8bn) to civil servant costs meaning a quarter of jobs could be lost
• £32bn cuts to the welfare budget

I see the TUC are vocal online, at least. I've seen the usual statements condemning Yaxley Lennon and Farage from others, but I think it's hard to cut through when MSM are hell bent on having the drama of a far-right govt to report on.

I’m watching and it’s astounding. We all knew something like this was going on - but the extent of it! While so many were suffering, dying, sunk into loneliness - a few were absolutely RAKING IT IN. The COVID health crisis was a very, very lucrative opportunity for some.

The Trump administration ordered several National Park Service sites to take down materials related to slavery and Native Americans, including an 1863 photograph of a formerly enslaved man with scars on his back, one of the most powerful images of the Civil War era. nyti.ms/4nyyyaQ

A man sits with his back to the camera. His back is full of scars and ridges in the skin from beatings. A headline reads: Park Service Is Ordered to Take Down Some Materials on Slavery and Tribes. Photo via the Library of Congress.

There's a huge distinction between free speech and hate speech, the latter bringing harm. And adding incitement to violence, well Labour need actions, not words, now.

I strongly object to the use of the phrase "ministers in waiting." It gives the impression they are a credible choice and fit for government.

What on earth has possessed people to believe that Reform’s motley collection of our most abysmal, prejudiced and corrupt politicians - all with a proven track record of epic and piss-taking failure would be a remotely credible government? Seriously people… and media…
you’ve lost your goddam minds.
