Another Gerry moment: he claimed he cost the uni thousands by smoking next to a sign reading ‘no smoking policy’. When challenged he said he thought they meant there was no policy on smoking. New signs hurriedly appeared.

A Christmas eve reminder that for all the talk of a ceasefire in Gaza, Netanyahu has no intention of leaving the strip to the Palestinians. He insists the IDF is there to stay.

So we stay on the streets in 2025.

Add to this burgeoning student-staff ratios, redundancies, impossible staff workloads, pressure to meet OfS targets, lack of time and resources to cope with GenAI developments, and we have a perfect #AcademicIntegrity storm

The debate over UK universities' reliance on international student fees has been reignited by a BBC investigation suggesting low levels of English language proficiency among overseas student cohorts in the UK.

Gaza Soup Kitchen: Chef Mahmoud, Dedicated to Serving Palestinian Civilians, Assassinated by Israeli Drone

Gaza Soup Kitchen, which coordinates humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza, has issued a statement regarding the tragic death of Chef Mahmoud. This morning, Chef Mahmoud was assassinated by an Israeli drone as he stepped out of his home to begin his daily routine at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Known for his unwavering commitment to serving Palestinian civilians, Mahmoud played a critical role in ensuring the hospital had the supplies it needed.

The statement emphasized that Mahmoud’s assassination was a deliberate attack on his efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. His work had become a lifeline for many, standing in defiance of the systematic destruction and displacement being carried out.

“This news is devastating. Just yesterday, Mahmoud shared his plans and ongoing efforts to support the community. Today, his absence leaves a void deeply felt by his grieving family and the thousands of families who relied on his support,” Gaza Soup Kitchen officials said.

Mahmoud leaves behind seven children. His youngest is only two weeks old, while his eldest is still hospitalized, recovering from severe injuries sustained in a prior Israeli drone attack. Gaza Soup Kitchen asked, “How do you explain such a loss to a child?”

His absence is a profound loss for his family and the northern Gaza community. Gaza Soup Kitchen stressed the vital importance of Mahmoud’s contributions and highlighted how his tragic death underscores the immense challenges faced by the Palestinian people.

“Despite this sorrow, we remain steadfast. Mahmoud’s memory will continue to symbolize justice and resilience. We condemn this cowardly attack, which targeted not only Mahmoud but also the survival and dignity of the Palestinian people.”

Gaza Soup Kitchen called on the international community to urgently act to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities. Mahmoud’s legacy will endure as a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people and their unyielding pursuit of justice.
