If it takes an act of parliament to remove Michelle Mone from the House of Lords then let's get on that. The government has a massive majority. Who's voting against removing (in the beautifully appropriate words of Dr Rachel Clarke) the "utterly avaricious greedy scumbag" #PPEScandal #MoneOut

When we say the page is 18 cm wide, we're not setting a challenge, that's how wide it really is.

Is the #postoffice sponsoring #ITVdrama to change the narrative? Like BoJo talking about model buses? I do hope compensation money for subpostmasters hasn’t been spent on sponsorship.

I feel like we missed a trick by not using an Uncle Sam/Lord Kitchener (who is the chemistry equivalent?!) image for this....but either way, read this...it's important. Here's a free-to-read link in case you don't have access rdcu.be/eDGTW

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social @stellacreasy.bsky.social Where is the Labour party that I joined? We've got to start fighting back against this nonsense.

Labour's cowardice in the face of extremism

The party's silence is an act of moral debasement.

That's just the point though. They're not "all in one place" real football fans are forced to subscribe to multiple different channels to follow their team.

Blatantly false advert from TNT sports suggesting all football can be viewed on TNT sports.

Good way to start the evening. Margarita but with a kick.

Margarita served in chilli-salted glass with lime and chilli on the side.

I'd call that barely coherent, but it doesn't begin to cover it. I don't particularly like the alternative (Vance) but it's time for the 25th amendment. #makeitstop

Increasing substrate scope is rarely addressed in discussions about the pressure that scientists face. Despite the growing awareness around burnout in research, larger tables are often welcomed, even when the extra work may not be scientifically valuable.

Normalising huge substrate scopes worsens wellbeing

And holds up the pace of scientific progress
