Meanwhile @thameswater has spent the first 6 weeks of 2025 dumping 1,000 hours of sewage into the River Ver, a chalk stream, one of the rarest rivers on earth. IS THERE ANYONE IN CHARGE???!!! telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…
Regrettably, I find myself forced to step down as external member to the International Justice and Human Rights Research Centre at Edge Hill University (UK). This follows the University’s dismissal of a distinguished scholar - also mother of two young kids (name undisclosed for…

My jaw hit the floor when I heard about Gaie Delap's case. A 77-year old peaceful climate protester threatened with being returned to jail... because they can't find a tag small enough for her wrists. I have written to prisons minister Lord Timpson. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Fancy a visit to @LCSLeeds for the 2025 Conference of the @Soc4ItalStudies on 'Italian Studies at the Digital Turn', that I am organising with @LauraLuciaRossi, Olivia Santovetti and @ab_alessio? See below the call for papers and send us an abstract by 15Jan2025!

This is appalling news. Solidarity with my UCLan colleagues ✊
We’re devastated that UCLan is planning to get rid of nine subjects for good: French, Spanish, German, Russian, TESOL, Philosophy, Religion, Politics, International Relations and Chemistry under threat lep.co.uk/education/were…

To all of you Trump supporters… Including: @BorisJohnson @trussliz @Nigel_Farage @LeeAndersonMP_ @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @RupertLowe10 This is your man These are his victims Your endorsement of him tells us & your loved ones exactly what you are.
3️⃣ Misogyny will enter mainstream politics - and the whole anti-woke cocktail will be normalised by the BBC and alt media - that's proved successful in America. We need to stand up for women's rights across the board
I lost my mother & wife to COVID. I couldn’t be with them when they were healthy, only to watch them struggle in their final moments. Now, Kemi Badenoch wants us to ‘draw a line under it.’ How can we move on without acknowledging our pain?
I called families to tell them their beloved was dying. I read out messages from absent family members. I saw the British public behave with such *staggering* decency as they obeyed the rules to protect the vulnerable. Is my anger 'overblown'? She has absolutely no idea.
“I thought a lot of the stuff around Partygate… was overblown” Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says Boris Johnson was a “great PM”. Well, well, well
What a turnout! Thousands of people have marched today for our rivers and seas. 💙 Thank you to our staff and volunteers who helped give our ocean a voice and demand action from UK governments. Together, we can stop pollution and restore seas and rivers. #MarchForCleanWater
At a time when tokenism is being mistaken for representation, it's important to remember the lessons history has taught us. Figures like Rotha Lintorn-Orman, who rose to prominence in WWI yet aligned herself with fascist beliefs, remind us that some will climb, not to lift others…
Thinking is hard work…

‘What if, instead of having higher expectations of the children, we had higher expectations of the education system? What if those expectations were of flexibility, reducing pressure and prioritising lifelong learning and wellbeing instead of short-term testing?’
I was talking to a grandmother last week about schooling. ‘I can see the difference’ she said. ‘When my children were young, primary school was relaxed. If the weather was good, they went outside and ran around. If they were sick, they stayed at home. Now with my grandchildren…
In case anyone has been trying to contact my via my University account - I have been locked out and am unable to access emails, Teams etc. Apologies if anything is time sensitive but it will be a while before I can respond
Hey @AstonUniversity, Glad you're improving your staff-student ratio. However, I'd appreciate it if you didn't use my face to advertise your new hires since you actively encouraged me/my colleagues to leave or made us redundant. #Translation & #languages at Aston are now closed.
That’s us and our brilliant members, refusing to let it be the new norm that employers can just deduct 113 days of deductions for withholding a small portion of our job, or threaten 39 days of wage deductions for 3 days of strike. It’d be the end of workers’ rights, so we fight.
