The state of British academia: my partner was made redundant from one uni after 14 (14)yrs on fixed-term contracts, & has now begun a short-term fixed contract at another that is threatening to put all (all) its academic staff at risk of redundancy in a “fire & rehire” www.ucu.org.uk/article/1445...
Great piece on shoplifting in the capital. Depressing sign off, its hard to put the genie back into the bottle as people realise you can just break the rules that are meant to be self-enforcing. www.londoncentric.media/p/greggs-sho...

Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.
One of my cartoons in Monday's Metro
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed
For instance Zack Polanski publically questioned where I was a "patriot" whilst Tommy Robinson called me a "traitor"
Stella Creasy in today's Guardian trying Labours new tactic.
Its to keep comparing me and the Green Party to Tommy Robinson.
It's offensive, inaccurate and doomed to fail.
Labour really are cooked.
Unreal that was originally Carpenter’s student film and co-writer O’Bannon wrote Alien. 👏🏻
He he. All the clubs that play this tune when they score may have forgotten the original video. 😛
That said, a Belgian manager will deffo appreciate the tune! #SOTARS

Iran asked FIFA to move its World Cup matches to Mexico after Donald Trump said the Iranian team would not be safe in the USA.
FIFA refused their request.
The World Cup needs to be removed from the USA, let Mexico and Canada host it alone.
This sounds excellent. What you working towards?
Magnificent. 👏🏻
Oooooh! 👀
The fuckers are everywhere. But English cricket has been a safe haven for ‘em for 150+ years.
Because it's English cricket. It's long been run by some of the worst people in the country, sadly.
I know. Just screaming into the void.
I’m well aware the MCC, the counties, the ECB and - by extension - English cricket as a whole is a lost cause unless the government grow a pair and intervene.
Ye Gods. 🤦🏻♂️
How does English #cricket - specifically Middlesex CCC - ever allow someone holding such obnoxious views to chair a ‘Governance and (I shit you not) #Ethics committee’?!

Always need more history, historians, and history makers from below.
Working on the copyedit of my new book, An Injury to All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class.
An Injury to All tells the story of how the British working class was pushed from the centre of political life to the margins. It's hitting the shops in October!
Today Israel has made it legal to hang Palestinians who are found Guilty in Israel and who have a 99.74% conviction rate in their courts
For Israelis who have a 1.9% conviction rate for crimes against Palestinians the death penalty is still illegal
This is yet another War Crime
In a bold move toward sustainability and consumer protection, taken a stand against the wasteful practice of Planned obsolescence. By legally banning this approach, the country is pushing manufacturers to create products that last longer, are easier to repair, and generate less environmental waste.
I’m hardly productive these days, but £800+ over four years is miraculous. 😅
