Lots being (rightly) highlighted about the financial mismanagement at Dundee University. But let’s not let this passage in the report slip through the net. This is far from a one-institution phenomenon in our sector that needs urgently addressing.

🚨 Last night JK Rowling attacked The National as an "anti-woman newspaper". I think that is absolutely ridiculous chat. Here's my open letter setting out why this kind of attack does not work on our team. www.thenational.scot/news/2525321...

Friends fear he’s been making Kartoffelsalat again.

“I think that Israel does have that right.”

Sorry for the MCQ (Mould Queen Content), but this is Too funny. These people have brains as rotten as her castle.

“Your dad was in Rhodesia when I was there,” remarks Matthew. We move swiftly on.

Sarah Vine being interviewed on 5Live complains that there’s ‘an inherent sexism in politics’ (which I’m sure is true) and then 2 minutes later when asked if she has any advice for Victoria Starmer, she replies ‘stick to her knitting’ 🤦

It would be funny if it wasn't so demeaning. Leading her from toilet to toilet trying to decide which would be more "appropriate" for her because neither her disability nor her genitals were on display. The knots bigots tie themselves in, enabled by the Supreme Court, the EHRC and a spineless govt.

Someone on the local Facebook group is selling a pair of kettlebells that they appear to have drawn tiddies on 🛎️🛎️. #ThatIsAll

It’s almost like they know this is wrong… 🤔

Reading Adrian Mole. I definitely did not get this gag about academia when I was 13. (Courtney is the postman).

I just totally folded my body inside out from cringe.

There's something so terribly wrong about using the word safe as a verb that makes it sound less reassuring than not using the word safe at all.

ElOn Is A gEnIuS.

On 11/6 the head of the UK Human Rights body said to MPs that human rights to privacy, dignity & family life did NOT apply to trans people in services & work. If a State deems a law-abiding minority ineligible for human rights, alarms must ring. Libertarian? Disabled? To Labour its all in the game.

Hungry. Need easy hot-weather food but have nothing that doesn’t require cooking.

Expected given the make-up of the SCOTUS, I guess, but horrific nonetheless.

This is absolutely vile. Why are some people in our government so desperate to criminalise women for what they do with their own bodies?

This is horrific and, like the anti-abortion amendment tabled by the Tories and the anti-trans legislation and court cases, it's all coming from the same place, and that's far right, Christian extremist campaigners seeking to destroy bodily autonomy.

Why is Martina Navratilova complaining that trans women have 'longer arms' meaning their opponents need to 'run more'? Have all competitors is women's tennis hitherto been of exactly the same height?

Two politicians arguing about who deported the most foreigners is a disgusting spectacle. #PMQs

The House of Commons right now can be summed up as, "two different racists brag about who is most racist."

Proud champion of women’s rights Rosie Duffield abstaining is it

Last year we ran a survey on UK HE redundancies. Based on 349 responses, the UNIVERSITIES DEGRADED REPORT uncovers awful conditions, targeting of marginalised groups, & far more cuts than estimated. People's stories matter. We can hold leaders to account. Please share widely tinyurl.com/48nzf7ew
