A tragedy.
Tom Forth@thomasforth

The University of Hull is to close its chemistry department. It said student numbers were "so low that these courses are no longer sustainable". The chemistry department was rated the fourth best in the UK in The Guardian's University Guide 2024. #amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=17330586515572&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Farticles%2Fc14l3e71m4jo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bbc.com/news/articles/…

From the USA 🇺🇸 to Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧 Birdwatchers flocked to a residential cu-de-sac after an ultra-rare species was spotted in Yorkshire for the first time. The bird is believed to be a scarlet tanager, which arrived in Shelf, near Halifax, after being blown off course by strong winds from a hurricane in North America.

@RosieBrazil @tomphillipsin Im sure you know better than me, I just have a hunch. I do worry that he might just want to shut China out. Maybe that’s not the worst thing? It’s all pretty depressing, eh?

@BellaWallerstei Wow. I think she should, too. Keep the party hovering around that sweet 120 seat line.

Kemi Badenoch should pledge to scrap inheritance tax - a burden that’s now one of the highest in the Western world. Canada and New Zealand have no such tax, and in Europe, it’s often far lower. IHT is an attack on Conservative values, punishing hard work & family legacy.

@campbellclaret @britishairways Took 22 consecutive phone calls last month to @British_Airways before got connected to a person - heavily delayed flight meant missing a connection and they’d not amended second flight, no rep at airport was flying from. Made a complaint. Response? “Thank you for your feedback”

@campbellclaret @britishairways A word for @RoyalJordanian who are, in recent times, the worst service I’ve experienced. Mythical email addresses, shitty ground staff, stewards eating peanuts and scratching their balls…

@CloudWhiz90 @BellaWallerstei If it feels like this, then you’re likely in a very fortunate position. Perhaps consider others who aren’t in such a position.

Inheritance tax feels like a penalty on families who’ve worked hard, hitting them just after a loss. It’s an unfair burden, especially for those passing on family businesses, farms, or homes. And if anyone thinks it only impacts the wealthy, they’re wrong—the middle class often bears the real brunt.

Labour’s inheritance tax raid is utterly immoral. This is a “death tax”, punishing careful savers. They’ve paid taxes on every penny earned and saved throughout their lives, only to be told, in the end, they can’t decide how to use what’s rightfully theirs.

@BellaWallerstei A lot of land owners and tenants also often act in parallel to the rest of the country, rather than considering themselves a part of the society. I think you’re a rather good example of this. It’s not your fault, it’s just the way it’s been for a few decades.

Chancellor says there are “a lot of land owners who are very wealthy” and some people “buy land to avoid paying inheritance tax”. This isn’t about fairness; it’s a play to stir envy. Landowners contribute to the economy and communities. Painting them as tax dodgers is wrong

He comes across as such a lightweight, like an Instagram influencer without followers, but he’s also someone who is trying to benefit from something genuinely tragic. He made the final two. And may be the person holding our PM to account. That’s a real worry…

The public had a right to know the truth straight away. I am seriously concerned that facts may have been withheld from the public. Keir Starmer must urgently explain what he knew about the Southport attack and when he learned it.

@IanDunt Would you do that job? It sounds bloody awful. And there are enough people hounding whoever takes up that role to make it awful and…sort of pointless.

So who is in charge of that? The new Cabinet Secretary will not be, although they're important. It's just too big a role. The people doing the briefings will not be.

@AngusBMacNeil Take this down, Angus. It doesn’t help anyone - Palestine, the EU, Lebanon, health workers, children, yourself or Scottish Independence.

@Loinsalot @RewildScotland @JimFairlieLogie Fair argument. Open moor is however natural and wild fires are damned dangerous… I have first hand experience of how fast, destructive and terrifying they can be. Balance is needed, set against human need and financial impacts on local population.
