I think it must be Wednesday. I looked at my calendar yesterday, it said Sunday, but I was in the middle of some CPD course. So it can't have been.
Yes please. More of this, please, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social. I may not be a doctor, but I teach students at a university. And I try my best for them. We all contribute. That includes the lovely people in the corner shops who help their communities with a vital local shop and many more.

This the kind of message politicians need to send:
When asked about Reform UK's plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain, Wes Streeting answered: "Nigel Farage says go home, I say you're home."

I went to Portland in 2002. It was the US city where I felt safest. It seemed like a relaxed, open kind of place. When I asked someone for directions, they didn't gasp or were surprised, but rather smiled and showed me the way. It must have changed a lot, then, as Trump clearly never lies....
Dear Reform, you are not very clever, are you? You don't know what migrants contribute to this country, do you? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do any Americans on here like the orange person back who is DEFINITELY NOT in the Epstein files? I don't feel comfortable having him here. Also, I really don't understand how people can believe that he isn't guilty of all kinds of horrible sex crimes. He has admitted to it... 🤷
I wonder how proud George Osborne is about his legacy. Austerity bred discontent and a sense of disenfranchisement. And this is exploited by rich folk such as Lennon Yaxley, i.e. Tommy Robinson and Nigel Garage to do this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The loud sigh you can hear? It's the collective outbreath of parents seeing their children return to school after 6 weeks of juggling work and childcare.

Oh, I am in the not for me camp regarding Fleabag either. I watched it this year as two of my diss students wrote amazing disses about it, but I find it too self-indulgent. I think I am too much from the school of Ken Loach, Jimmy McGovern and Ann Cleeves.
I know, not a series. But I also don't give series 4 seasons before they can get good. Be good in the first episode or see me watch something else. Yes, Game of Thrones, I mean you
I would like people not to have to live in The Hunger Games or Squid Games, please. The right to life should be universal and not dependent on ethnicity, religion or anything else. #Genocide #InternationalHumanRights #ShootingAtPeopleCollectingFoodIsEvil
