I was chatting to a friend in local gov in Kiritimati. He said the children need textbooks. Science, English, Maths, IT. I'm making a suitcase of books to fly.

Can we do more for these brilliant kids? @LucyGoBag @APLNofficial @napf @KiribatiGov @Ofmooseandmen @Waterstones RT

Whew, a whole picture of me😅.

UKRI decides to suspend its new Equality, Diversity & Inclusion gmGroup after criticism from a government minister. A serious worry that a more inclusive approach to UK research funding & strategy, that has been years in the coming, has been killed at birth.

[Raven Baxter, Ph.D. @ravenscimaven]

I'm not okay. The ex took everything they could from me, knowing it would put me in a poor position, while working for myself and recovering from a serious illness. Job hunting for a year now, hanging by a thread, no end in sight. I'm hoping that something works out soon... 🤞🏿

[David K Smith @professor_dave]

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion really matter in public life - we need all voices to be represented in decision making - if not, this can lead to awful outcomes for minority groups.

[David K Smith @professor_dave]

For example, a willingness to let the elderly die, a failure to see financial pressures on low income households asked to isolate without furlough, and a failing to see worse outcomes for ethnic minority frontline workers.

[David K Smith @professor_dave]

Fascinating evidence from Lee Cain, former Director of Communications to Boris Johnson, explaining how a lack of diversity 'in the room' made for blind spots and bad decisions eith regard to Covid-19 - govt failing to understand impacts and challenges for various minority groups.

Veterans join Pacific Islanders in bid for nuclear testing compensation.

“We have become victims of unimaginable cruelty. Reparations are needed for our dignity, our people, and our health. Many have had unstoppable illnesses.”

Chris Kise raises a series of statute of limitations objections, overruled by the judge in that the state is allowed to show a pattern or practice.
