A very grim day at Cardiff University.
400 jobs to go.
Whole departments (including modern languages, nursing, music, religion, ancient history) to be axed.

Fresh off filleting Lord Lebedev, @milesellingham and @Coramazov turn their attentions to Justin Welby: the man who buried a queen, crowned a king, and tore a church apart. Phenomenal profile of the worst Archbishop in centuries.

Yeah that's what happens when you take away the places people go to socialise

[Jonas Patrick Marvin 🇵🇸 @m00dyjonas]

Swimming pools, saunas, music, libraries, welfare, the list goes on. In an age of sick, ageing proletarians, free practices like this should be the bedrock of socialism, using abandoned postindustrial space to build a culture of public health and leisure. https://t.co/8VPgUwGy9u

Steven Quinn was released from Brixton prison today as part of the government's early release scheme to free up space in UK jails. In total, he says he's spent 27 years of his life in the prison system and he has little hope that he will be able to stay out again this time.

The Team GB illusion. An act of self-sportswashing.

I worked at Durham Uni was in a meeting about decolonising the curriculum a nothing term academics have found irresistible. I asked them about their own Colonisation of Durham & how the University marginalises the working class of the county. Blank stares https://t.co/M7eyNF0PTY

A lot of dogwhistle racism in the British press today about British Muslims partaking in our electoral process and expressing their right to vote and stand for Parliament.

That's not 'sectarian politics'. That's democracy.

When Reform do it, we're told to listen and engage.
