The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.

But the USA still refuses to let him in.

The USA need to be disqualified

I don't care if there aren't many people at a university lecturer's lectures and if not many people are involved in their disruption. Such disruption is a profound insult to the institution. Any student engaging in it should be disciplined.

This convicted stalker grabbed her hair, almost sat on her and absolutely terrified her before he "asked for a kiss".

The BBC headline frames this assault like a charmingly polite request in a mutual courtship. It's a strange mistake to make.

@swklibdems @VMMChamberlain What kind of person thinks a rape victim wanting a female-only support service is "fear-mongering and vitriol"?

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

It appears that the University of Nottingham’s senior management diaspora hasn’t yet got around to scrubbing the record.

Hello, there 👋

Have you heard David Lammy MP and Sarah Sackman MP talking about people stealing bottles of whisky and swiping mobile telephones as examples of people who should not get jury trials?

Well. I’d like to tell you a story.

I look forward to a Labour leadership contest dominated by wonkish and well though-through tax policy ideas.

If the Andy Burnham team want a plan to end the "cliff edges" that make people miserable, hurt the NHS and hit growth, they know how to find me.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

CenTax have done detailed numbers on this. You can boost long term investment AND raise significant sums from small number of wealthy people converting labour income into capital. See https://t.co/kHRPNnGc80

I cringe a bit at "a wealth tax that works", but it's true.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

A sane tax system has the same rate of tax in income and capital but only taxes real gain.

The argument was made best by noted communist Nigel Lawson in his 1988 Budget:

The open letter to @UniofNottingham now has *six* Nobel Laureate signatures asking them to think again regarding their huge cuts to one of the country’s most successful physics departments.

But I am sure their slash-and-burn senior managers know better.

People mock the EU as “bureaucracy”. But that bureaucracy turned a continent of borders, currencies and wars into a space where 450 million people can travel, pay, call, study and work almost as if it were domestic. That is not boring. That is civilization becoming usable.

President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

Curiouser and curiouser. How did Farage go from being "skint" (his words) to buying a £1.4m house for cash in just a few years - before, as he now tells us, the extra £5m gift from Thailand?

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

This judgment should send shockwaves through NHS and beyond. It is to my knowledge the 1st to decide that allowing trans identifying men into women's workplace facilities is in itself discrimination and harassment against women.

To staff a 24-hour AMHP response service, we would need a 23% increase in the number of FTE AMHPs - despite this, there is a 7.7% vacancy rate.

We are running on far fewer AMHPs than we know we need.
