The rest of @michaelpforan's talks should go ahead.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental academic freedom and it must be upheld. Equally, legitimate and lawful protest has an important place in university life. The task is to maintain both.

Especially at events open to the public like this, it is an important Oxford tradition that any disagreement is expressed in a civil and respectful way.

Yes sure, that's why he was quoted by the Supreme Court in one of their most significant judgments of the century and then got a job at Oxford as an Associate Professor at the age of 31.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

It's very disappointing that shouting and pulling silly stunts rather than engaging in reasoned discussion is still being permitted to shut down teaching and learning in a leading UK university.

[The Prince and Princess of Wales @KensingtonRoyal]

Amazing night!! Huge congratulations to all the players, team,staff and everyone connected to the club! 44 years since the last taste of European silverware!

Special shout out to Boubacar Kamara who has been out injured but is such an integral part of our team and helped lay the foundations of this success.

UTV! 💪🏻❤️ VTID

The head of Europe's central bank just went on record and said financial markets don't understand what they're in for (Save this).

This is Christine Lagarde saying the damage is already done, and most people have no idea.

Here is what she actually said.

The US and Israel struck Iran on and within days, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow chokepoint that carries roughly 20% of the world's oil and natural gas.

Markets shrugged and investors assumed it would blow over fast but Lagarde says that assumption is dangerously wrong.

She told The Economist that technical experts are not talking about months for a recovery, they are talking about years.

The infrastructure, extraction, refineries, distribution networks has already taken damage that cannot simply be rebuilt on a short timeline.

Then she dropped a detail most investors have completely missed, Helium travels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Helium is the invisible ingredient inside every advanced microchip on earth.

It cools the machines, purges the chambers, and delivers the precision modern semiconductors depend on.

Qatar supplies roughly 35% of the world's commercial helium and Qatar's facilities have gone dark.

Helium spot prices have already surged past $450 per thousand cubic feet and most chip fabricators carry less than three months of inventory.

The world is building AI data centers at record speed, and the raw material that makes those chips possible is suddenly scarce.

Meanwhile, Brent crude has already hit $99 a barrel, with earlier spikes past $120 and gasoline in the U.S. has jumped over 30% since the war began.

Iraq has cut 1.5 million barrels per day while Saudi Arabia paused its largest refinery.

Europe is now staring at a second energy crisis with gas storage at just 30% capacityheading into this.

And the ECB, rather than cutting rates to soften the blow, is now considering hiking rates to fight the inflation surge.

This means a slow economy, rising prices and tightening monetary policy, all at once.

Lagarde's core warning is this, markets are not pricing in reality.

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

This is an unprecedented use of a power expressly confined to amending clerical mistakes from tribunal staff and party submissions. There is case law confirming that this power cannot be used to make substantive amendments to the judgment or to correct errors in citation.

This is really remarkable

People know I’m obsessed with aviation and frequently ask me whether it’s safe to fly. My advice is always this: flying commercial is the safest mode of transport. But never fly private or step foot in a helicopter for any reason except getting rescued.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Insanely, submitting your past 5 years' social media to enter the U.S. as a tourist is only a small part of the proposed upcoming requirements.

You'll also need to give your DNA (!) among many other new requirements.

All the additional info you'll need to give as a tourist eligible for ESTA (meaning those tourists who don't need a visa, for instance from EU, UK, Australia, Japan, and other Visa Waiver countries):

- All social media accounts from the last 5 years
- All your biometrics: face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
- All your phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your email addresses from the last 10 years
- IP addresses and metadata from your submitted photos
- Names of your family members (parents, spouse, siblings, children)
- All your family members' phone numbers from the last 5 years
- Your family members' dates of birth
- Your family members' places of birth
- Your family members' residencies
- All your business phone numbers from the last 5 years
- All your business email addresses from the last 10 years

If you do need a visa (i.e. non ESTA), I imagine the requirements are going to be far more drastic.

This is straight from the Department of Homeland Security documentation which you can find here: https://t.co/DMGpKEwlr2

This is astonishing

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

Media is now reporting the possibility that several of the quotes from caselaw in Peggie v NHS Fife may be entirely fabricated. This is extraordinarily serious and warrants careful attention:

This is it. The freeze disproportionately hits the highest earning 20%. Doesn’t really touch the top 1%.

We’ve accidentally created a unique kind of progressive taxation aimed at those earning about £50k to 150k

[Lee Jones @DrLeeJones]

The idea that the free speech crisis on UK campuses is a nonsense whipped up by the Tories - the formal position of @UCU, the lecturers' union(!) - is utter nonsense.

Just look at two appalling incidents today. First, a professor targeted at @CityStGeorges for being Israeli. 1/4

What could be easier and more popular than raising £2bn by taxing lawyers?
