Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.

I have signed this letter protesting about Elon Musk FRS! (If I hadn't deleted my Twitter/X account, I would post it there too!)

I’ve heard various arguments for inaction from FRSs. But not a single one has argued that Musk should be kept on because he’s a great thing for science. They all say “Of course, I think Musk is terrible, but…”

Disgraceful! Avoiding the incoming EU tax avoidance proposals was the primary reason that the #Brexit was pushed so hard by its proposers. We need tax avaoidance laws to help fund the things that all people need. It is clearer than ever that @labouruk.bsky.social is no longer a socialist party.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Wait. @asm.org last I checked, you are not a government agency, so why should this Executive Order apply to a non-governmental professional/scientific society? Why are you obeying an unjust order in advance when doing so clearly hurts the interests of microbiologists you claim to represent?

High Court hearing today on Thames Water plan to borrow another £3bn. Already has £17bn debt, mostly to fund dividends, wants 53% price hike. Nearly a third of customer bill covers interest payments. More debt= higher bills. Let it go bankrupt. Nationalise at nominal price.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

If a rich person does a terrible crime, "oh we can't send him to jail think about the lost potential." If a poor person does a minor crime, "throw them in jail forever."

Great piece by Paul Offit "When Mr. Kennedy says he wants vaccines to be better studied, what he really seems to be saying is he wants studies that confirm his fixed, immutable, science-resistant beliefs. That’s not skepticism."🧪⚕️
