In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

Fantastic work @abrahamgihawi.bsky.social and @danbrewer.bsky.social. It is great to see this very important work published!

Reform MP says they will negotiate with the Taliban.

Britain has never stood alone From Empire to the NHS, this country has always relied on outsiders. The real crisis isn’t migration – it’s dishonesty

Conservative or Labour, both dodge the truth about migration: we need it. Refusing to admit it is political cowardice.

Read The Bear's fact-packed and refreshing read on how immigration has long benefited this country.

People convicted and imprisoned for saying or writing things that stir up racial hatred.

• Abu Hamza
• Abdullah el-Faisal
• Lucy Connolly

Guess which conviction made the right wing suddenly decide writing or saying things that stir up hatred is okay, actually.

The Thai cover band you didn't know you needed in your life.

Crank it! 😀 🎸

Immigration has dropped dramatically in the last two years – small boat crossings are a small part of the overall picture, but have come to dominate the story (in part because the government has let it)

Alan Kurdi, dead on a beach

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

Russia Sanctions Byline Times Journalists and Contributors for Exposing Putin's War Crimes The Russian foreign ministry added multiple Byline Times and Byline TV contributors to its "stop list" following our award-winning investigations into the Putin regime

Russia just sanctioned six @bylinetimes.bsky.social journalists and contributors.

Proof that the work they and Byline does is hitting the target and really matters.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

A new study uncovers how paper mills and brokers collaborate to drive large-scale scientific fraud. Fraudulent publications are rising far faster than legitimate ones.

The UK Government must recognise the power of research and development.

If harnessed strategically, it can create economic growth in the UK, boost its soft power and make it healthier and safer.

“Higher education is in a death spiral” Dan Lonsdale reflects on two years as SU President  - Palatinate Isla Mustin spoke to Dan Lonsdale, outgoing President of Durham Students’ Union (SU) about his two-year tenure in the role as the lead representative of the University’s student body and the wider sta...

Outgoing head of Durham University's Student Union: things are 'brutal', 'Higher Education is in a death spiral', hundreds of staff have gone, the student rental housing market is in crisis. They're even fundraising to buy a house. Tough reading. www.palatinate.org.uk/higher-educa...

💯. Sadly, representation of our sector / lobbying of government from UUK seems to lack assertiveness (certainly in public) at a time when so many voices are competing for a share of limited resources.

what’s occurred to me today is that academics feel like unheard canaries in the coalmine: we know that the cuts being made are impoverishing our universities, our research culture and outputs, and students’ experience of higher education. we are shouting but going unheard by managerial staff #UKHE

This is spectacularly damning coming from someone that served in cabinet alongside Chris ‘hapless display of ineptitude’ Grayling and chums.

Prof Harris gave a brilliant lecture followed by loads of excellent questions from a highly engaged audience. Stay tuned for our next online lecture, coming in the autumn!

Scoop: Trump admin cuts contracts with scientific publishing giant The administration has questioned editorial practices and whether journals are partisans in scientific debates

$20 million cut from Springer Nature.

Whilst I agree we shouldn't be giving these companies money (or at least so much of it) this is pure censorship. Don't be fooled by the talk behind it, this is about control over expertise and injection of political ideology.

FIFA is in the highly unusual position of being able to teach both Iran and the USA a thing or two about corrupt, tyrannical leadership.

Rewatching Prof David Thomas' Natl Press Club Address "Cancer: The Modern Plague" from ~ 12 mths ago to use in my class. Asked to cut it down to just 7-8 mins; but hope many will watch it all. It's a brilliant speech, full of the benefits science brings to healthcare. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih8A...
