Welcome to our newest Friend @BRedefreiheit. If you are in Switzerland, or Germany, get involved. Anyone, anywhere, can sign their 'Berlin Declaration. The managing director, Andrea Seaman, will be at the @ARC_Conference next week. Make contact with him if you are one of the 4,000 attending. @StudentAFAF @postgradafaf

This should be unbelievable but unfortunately given past experience it is not.

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

This is really going to endear themselves to MPs who support assisted suicide in principle, but have significant concerns about this particular Bill.

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

I suspect lots of MPs, even some who support the principle of assisted suicide, share @EmmaLewell's dismay.

We believe that QMUL should not adopt the new government definition of anti-Muslim hostility, and that it should cease using the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

To summarise Alice's work here: posh white humanities students are more likely than other students to think mixed-sex, trans-inclusive changing rooms are a good idea.
For clarity, that means other students favour single-sex spaces (as most people do, according to polls)

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

127 MPs have signed EDM 240 opposing the recent @EHRC guidance.

It's really helpful having an easily accessible list of MPs openly admitting they support men having access to women-only spaces.

Hopefully voters in each of their constituencies will take careful note.

Exactly this.

@NigelBiggar concluded his talk at @ucddublin by emphasising two intellectual virtues: temperance - the willingness to attend carefully to what others say, and courage - the need to speak up for what you believe is true. Thanks to @timcrowley_ and @DubUnisAFAF for organising.

The full Welsh election advice (some of it very good) is here: https://t.co/xTSou9Wynu

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

...
Encouraging candidates to protect the environment is fine. Pushing a specific & highly contentious policy like net zero is not.

@catholicEW should rethink as should whoever was advising them.
...

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

…
Ironically, given net zero policies are particularly bad for public finances, they put at risk other policy priorities the Bishops such as improving health care & widening access to palliative care.
...

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

…
But there are actually strong arguments that net zero policies:
· Cause poverty both in the UK & in developing countries
· Cause serious environmental problems
· Are disastrous for public finances
…

[David Paton @cricketwyvern]

Why are the English & Welsh Catholic Bishops @catholicEW encouraging Welsh voters to vote for candidates supporting net zero?

At best this is an issue on which Catholic of goodwill can disagree & to be left to prudential judgement.

This is a complex judgement but one positive is that Arif Ahmed, as a free speech campaigner, is exonerated in his role as free speech director. Who could be appointed to this role at the @officestudents without having a track record as a public defender of free speech? @SpeechUnion @lucaf_london @postgradafaf @AFFSUK @StudentAFAF @LivingFreedomUK @acadofideas @spikedonline
