Today, women retire with £123k less than men. Why is the gender pension gap still this big?

The gender pay gap, caring responsibilities and working patterns all impact women’s retirement savings. More here: https://t.co/KblqdXiWCH

Fury from senior scientists tonight after UK government’s £1.6 billion Horizon clawback. @GraemeTR among those warning of danger for months. This comment from John Hardy particularly depressing: “We are fading fast”. https://t.co/QbDoRkm3be via @timeshighered

Deep in the Amazon rainforest there is an 8 mile long rock face filled with ice age drawings of mastodons, giant sloths and other extinct beasts,

painted toward the end of the last ice age, about 12,600 to 11,800 years ago.

It was six years ago, and my mate, Pink, had just been told he was going to die. He accepted the news with a grace I can only marvel at, but he said he’d a list of things he’d still like to do.

We sat in a pub one night and read it over. Eight things? Four months? Ok. Deal.

People want to know more about what happens as we die.

Later this afternoon the global temperature summaries for 2022 will be released by Met Office, NOAA, NASA and Berkeley Earth.

This means a new climate stripe will be added. But what colour will 2022 be?

Horrific stats but behind every number is a very sick person waiting for too long for life-saving care

The contrast between England and Scotland's ambulance response times is stark (comparing whole-nation metrics: Category 2's vs Ambers on 90th percentile responses).
Scotland had a problem in December 2022, England disintegrated.

We see that @SteveBarclay has told @BBCR4today programme he is meeting with doctors later today.

Actually he cancelled the 9am meeting we agreed so he could do media, and a further meeting is not yet agreed.

Hopefully it will be soon.

Here’s the context of what Prince Harry wrote - which I doubt many of the ex-commanders condemning him will have read. I doubt, in their rush to condemn him, they remember the endemic scalp count culture in much of the army either.

RT if you stand with every single union that chooses to make a stand and fight on behalf of their members.

#Octopuses have been thrown onto ice rinks during hockey games for 70 years. Urge the #NHL to enforce stricter punishments for fans who throw animals and tell the #DetroitRedWings to take a stand against this disrespectful tradition. https://t.co/WYTAVsseRp

Question from the new Rishi Sunak maths syllabus: if 13 years of Tory government knocks 20% off your real income and 40% off your pension, puts £500 a month on your mortgage and lands you with a £2000 gas bill, should you vote Tory at the next general election?
