C'mon Britain,

Let's say a huge thanks to @RepRaskin for this beautiful takedown of Farrage today.

Congress did its homework on Nigel Farage:

Jamie Raskin has heard it 🙏

The Green Party and Plaid Cymru have 4 seats each, the same as Reform.

Sinn Féin have 7 seats.

SNP have 9

Independents have 21

LibDems have 72.

Why is every media channel constantly blasting out Reform propaganda?

@BBCNews? @SkyNews @ITVNewsPolitics @Channel4News ?

[@PJamesLibDem @pjameslibdem]

Dear @BBCr4today will you please give @LibDems as much time at least as you have given to Reform when talking about migrants. We also have policies about how to deal with asylum seekers and one that make sense. After all we have 72 MPs, not just 4 MPs.

Born in Turkey, raised in Palestine, a “foreigner” who never visited our shores and who died for his belief in the one God- a basic tenant of Islam and a fundamental belief of all the Abrahamic faiths.
St George was canonised by a Catholic born in Tunisia and is the patron saint of amongst others Ethiopia and Catalonia.
St George was a symbol of internationalism and multiculturalism ❤️
#raisethecolours good folk of my country and celebrate our nation for the amazing diverse melting pot it is - in line with the great tradition of our patron St George

When we said we simplified the process, we meant for us. It should became a lot harder for you. Good luck!

Those numbers won’t work for the college’s assessment of student outcomes.

Go find me some better numbers or you are fired.

And don’t tell me the numbers we have are the best available evidence. Are you trying to make the college look bad?

[21group @21percentgroup]

Dundee Uni has "action plan, including ... training in financial literacy for members of the university's executive group..."

Argument for excessive executive pay is it's needed to attract brightest & best 😉

Yet they need training in basic finance 😲

@21percentgroup The expansion of the precariat.

[Eileen Nugent @NugentEile51674]

@21percentgroup Higher education reaching peak irrationality now - anything could happen to an individual : get promoted - get immediately fired, get promoted - get immediately promoted again. Case of surviving stress of irrational organisational actions.

[Bruce E. Baker @BruceHistorian]

We are going into the second year in a row at my institution with no academic promotions & no prospect for any pay increase (not even national pay award) for professors. But this is not an ad hoc response to recently confected crises . . .

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music

This was Germany today: police brutally beating up peaceful protesters against genocide in Gaza.

Imagine destroying your own democracy so that another country can continue to commit genocide.

68 years ago today, on July 6, 1957, Althea Gibson became the first Black player to win at #Wimbledon .

She turned in a dominant performance that lasted just 50 minutes.

Cannot wait to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Althea breaking the color barrier at the 1950 U.S. National Championships, the predecessor of the US Open, later this year.
