I anticipated a lot of averse comment to me going 'guys, there's at least a £30bn hole in this!' but I thought it would come from people who *support* the government that set out the Budget.

Thousands of migrants medics are also leaving, according to GMC stats. Nurses not far behind. I’m sure that that’s what government wants? 🤷🏽♂️

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Trump is conspiring with Putin to sell out Ukraine – and the security of the whole of Europe along with it.
The Prime Minister must convene the Coalition of the Willing to stop this betrayal in its tracks.

New: I can confirm hasty US-Russia proposal being pushed to Ukrainians via Dmitriev-Witkoff to Umerov. It would amount to Ukraine’s capitulation, with people familiar saying it’s Kremlin’s maximalist demands.

-Give up certain weapons
-Give up Donbas

Some of these are painful. It is why I stopped using AI so much. I was spending so much time correcting. Only specific tasks now and academic writing is not one of them!
In fact, there are several tortured phrases in this paper.
My favourite:
"Stochastic Effects of Relapse on Popular and Technology (STIRPAT)"
which should be:
"Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology (STIRPAT)"

I've never understood how people just don't seem to get it, it's *never* been about protecting women in bathrooms (or sports, or wherever) it's about 'othering' people and stripping their (and then your) rights.

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

More useful material for the @royalsociety.org’s bio of their esteemed fellow. Though I’m still struggling to understand how a society that claims to value scientific rigour continues to honour someone who spreads so much disinformation.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
