Which implies they are more interested in committing war crimes than service to the law or national interests.

Patriots, eh?

Cheers.

Israel has killed over 38,000 women and girls in Gaza, according to the U.N. Another reminder the war on Gaza is about collective punishment not self defense.

I happen to have a serviceable tank already, but they don't add a huge amount.

Maybe try the quote builder on the Octopus website and see what that says for you.

Maybe if you have a drafty mansion.

Our 3 bed semi, the quote is £3.5k with the grant and some rad changes.

RFK Jr. just said HHS is "cleaning up the risk pool" (i.e., people who are unhealthy) to bring down healthcare costs.

Sounds more and more eugenic.

A natural component of a fascist world outlook.

Bibi won't let him!

These people really are genuinely stupid.

Needs 2 seats.

I used to think well of Vince, but he has lost it completely, become an irrelevance.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

I can see no reason to be kind to Daniel Hannan, though.

The Fraud's Prayer:
Our Father, who art in the White House,
hallowed be thy combover;
thy blingdom come;
thy will be dumb;
In Washington as you are in Florida.
Give us this day our daily round of golf.
And forgive us our insider trading,
as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...

Starmer lied to the public about Gorton & Denton and he's now lying to the public about his propensity to lie to the public.

British universities paid security firm to ‘spy’ on pro-Palestine students Investigation reveals how Horus, a company led by ex-military intelligence officials, was hired during protest movement.

“In October 2024, the University of Bristol provided the firm with a list of student protest groups it wished to receive alerts about, an internal university email suggests. It included pro-Palestinian and animal rights activists.”

My old institution covering itself with glory again.

Neil Duncan-Jordan to Keir Starmer: "Surely prime minister, the real issue is why, when Peter Mandelsons reputation was already known, was he ever considered for such a role"

Spot on.

He was probably being paid shitloads as well. With all kinds of perks.

Gov gravy train.

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Most people have no idea. 🧵

It looks like the world is being wise about the world cup. I am an American, it is NOT SAFE for anyone here. They give idiots a gun, authority, and no training.

If I murder someone, I go to jail or worse. If ICE murders someone for no reason, they get praise from the president.

Sometimes a little disagreement, between people who share overall common objectives and with a healthy attitude to both learning, collaboration and compromise can be a good thing. Very constructive.

Wishing you well.

Obviously.

Where we deploy those sites, who owns them, whether we use existing 'dead spaces' or green field ones, how we run consultations etc etc are also valid concerns. Get those wrong and nothing gets done.

And yes, I am a bit tired and grumpy!

Have a good week.

Do you expect a full sustainable energy policy to be expressed in a character limited social media post? At midnight on Sunday?

Or are you just an obnoxious, confrontational jerk?

Because if not, you might like to re-consider your communication style.
