Most of us are three bad months away from being homeless. None of us are three good months away from being billionaires. I know whose side I’m on.

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social What are you and the Home Office doing to expedite a route to the UK for the many very talented and highly qualified professionals from the US who are currently "seeking other opportunities"? This is a huge opportunity for all concerned. Let's get the welcome mat out!

Very occasionally, it's worth holding your nose and reading the Telegraph. This exclusive story about what was really in the "deal" Trump put to Ukraine last week is one such exception. It reveals plans for the biggest smash and grab in history. (Link below bypasses the paywall.) archive.ph/0NSur

If you're the kind of bone headed, science denying, antivax, MAGA hat wearing troglodyte that insists measles is just a few spots, then your children and their friends really, really, desperately need you to read this article from the ASM If you're a reasonable person it's still well worth a read

As the BBC continues to shamelessly promote a far-right party with 5 MPs way beyond any justifiable claim of proportion, and turns a publicly funded broadcast institution into a cesspit of false equivalence, this simple, straightforward message could be the most important of the day. Time to react!

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

So having bitterly complained that British workers are stupid, lazy and have no right to a work/life balance, this arsehole has now decided to appoint himself the UK's Oligarch-in-chief? F*ck all the way off!
