@sheffunisport Thanks for the reply. I am assuming the new centre would include a pool. Can you advise when plans will be announced?
English
@owenmatthews The pool is permanently closed with no plans to reopen. However, we are hoping to build an entirely new sport and physical activity centre in the near future!

@sheffunisport is there any news on the plans for swimming pool? To be a major university without a pool is a big negative for many.

Thank you @SuellaBraverman - your dog whistle rhetoric made mine, and other people’s day at @LondonWaterloo extremely frightening. Your words have inspired racists to terrorise us and make it harder for @metpoliceuk to do their job today. You need to resign, NOW #ThankYouSuella

Yesterday the Government chose to:
⛈️ delay the deadline for banning horticultural #peat by 7 years
⛈️ set a deadline for scrapping unrecorded rights of way
Both back-tracking, out of the blue and without consultation.
Bad news for nature, climate & communities.

The BBC have suspended Gary Lineker until he apologies and agrees not to post anything critical about the Government on Social Media.
If you stand with Gary Lineker against the Government and the BBC. RT and Like this post to show your support for him.

So Pret baristas will now be earning up to £14.10 an hour.
New NHS doctors - after their 5-year medical degree, whopping £80,000 of student debt, & life & death responsibilities - get paid £14.13 an hour.
And the government wonders why they're striking?

1. It doesn't get much dumber than this. George Eustice MP is now calling for houses to be heated with vegetable oil. As Environment Secretary, he presided over the total disaster of the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation, a catastrophe from which he has learnt nothing. 🧵

Sorry to repeat myself, but you *really* need to know this.
Under the government's Public Order Bill, anyone who has protested in the previous 5 years can be forced to "submit to ... being fitted with, or the installation of, any necessary apparatus" to monitor your movements.

The decision on Sandleford puts a bulldozer through any pretence that our planning laws or this Govt has the environment at its heart. Wrong decision, wrong place, West Berkshire Council should hang their heads in shame.

@shaunwalker7 Keep up the good work in highlighting these examples. Eventually the government must act

On the plane met a British citizen of UKR origin who’s lived in UK for 29 years. He went to meet his 16 year old nephew at the Romania border. Has now flown to Budapest, will wait at own expense for 8 days for first UK visa appointment. Then wait more for decision. Outrageous.

Iasi airport in Romania absolutely packed with Ukrainian refugees taking flights to Bucharest, Dublin, Vienna, Warsaw. The only flight not full with Ukrainians is the one to London Luton, because they wouldn’t be allowed on without visas. Feels quite shameful as a Brit.
