👩‍👧 How does the war on drugs weaponize childhood?

@Jonathan_M_Dean I'm so sorry to hear of this. As a PhD student at Leeds he was so kind and generous with his time to all of us, both as a senior member of staff and UCU rep. My thoughts are with you all.

Vice President Sara Duterte said the House should respect President Marcos’ decision to shut the doors on the ICC after the tribunal, in June, rejected the Philippine government appeal against the probe. https://t.co/rsGUZKZJsP

@CrossCountryUK Hello, do you expect the 6:12 from Leeds to Plymouth to be running tomorrow morning? Cheers, Euan

[Euan Raffle @Euan_Elffar]

@CrossCountryUK Great thanks. I appreciate you might not have an answer for this, but should that train be cancelled, do you have any how far in advance passengers would be notified? Just thinking about alternative travel arrangements.
