I watched Nuremberg on the flight back from my hols. Great film. Back then the Americans were very much advocating for a set of international laws that everyone, and it means everyone, should abide by.
They didn't say "except Israel"

Let’s be honest, Britain doesn’t *really* have its own independent foreign policy does it.
"Planned cuts to physics and astronomy funding threaten to undermine a core UK government strategy to harness innovation to boost economic growth, leading researchers have warned ministers."
Thanks @financialtimes.com for covering this really important story

Stay out of Trump and Netanyahu’s stupid war please, Britain. Keep em off our bases.
Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
How many more countries does Donald Trump have to bomb before he gets a Nobel Peace Prize?
Jewish Voice for Peace denounces the immoral and illegal war on Iran launched by the United States and Israel last night. These attacks expand the endless wars that could destroy the lives of tens of millions of people.
Please, Britain, don’t get involved in helping the terrorists do terror.

"it is important for all of our ... programmes ... to contribute to us making savings across our entire portfolio"
No mention that *all* is disproportionately falling on the particle-astro-nuclear programme 🤷♀️😡

I mean, I’d scrap tuition fees in a heartbeat. They are bad for graduates crippled with debt. And they are bad for students because it’s actually led to a worse uni experience. Style over substance. Shiny new buildings over lecturers who teach. VCs who’ve forgotten what a uni was meant to be about
You almost feel sorry for these Labour sell outs having to go on TV to defend the latest awful move from their govt.
“We’ll keep [our terrible plans] under review”
I feel much more sorry for students and graduates though. Not good enough Labour

I think the right word to describe that away end today after Macca scored a second time is “limbs”
