Hi @DailyMail, just wondering when we can expect to see this in your shite-rag?

Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

If you’re just waking up and haven’t caught the news yet… Reform UK lost two council by-elections to Labour last night in Thurrock. I know Zia Yusuf and Nigel Farage won’t be tweeting about this one, so just making sure you’re all aware 😂😂😂

Your weekend reminder Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions” PEOPLE OF CLACTON, MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT!

A 94 year old man from Clacton has called Farage Nigel Mirage “because he’s never here” 😂 Brilliant! Let’s get it trending, wind him up even more. #NigelMirage

BREAKING: Trump's $10 billion BBC lawsuit is BACKFIRING BIGLY and may force Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's January 6 evidence back into the courtroom After making $16 million from Paramount/CBS to settle one of his frivolous lawsuits, Donald Trump figured he could keep suing media companies and rake in the dough from corporate CEOs who would rather give in than face a protracted and expensive legal fight. But Trump got greedy and wanted a $10 billion payday from his next target, Britain’s venerable public broadcaster, the BBC. What he's getting instead is a legal nightmare of his own making. Trump sued the BBC last December, claiming a documentary on their news program Panorama, "put words in his mouth" by editing together portions of his January 6th speech delivered nearly 50 minutes apart. He even bizarrely claimed the network used AI to fabricate his words — it didn't. The BBC did splice the footage, which sparked an internal investigation, the firing of some senior officials at the broadcaster, and the issuing of a written apology. An apology simply wasn't enough for Trump, however. He still wanted that $10 billion. Now his lawsuit against the British broadcaster is unraveling spectacularly. A federal judge ruled this week that Trump must hand over detailed financial records from more than 400 companies tied to his family trust — because HIS OWN lawsuit claims the BBC's editing damaged his businesses. You can't claim massive financial injury and then refuse to show your books. Judge Enjoliqué Lett wasn't buying the attempted dodge: "All of President Trump's brand, properties and businesses are impugned... Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case." It gets worse. The same judge greenlit subpoenas targeting Trump's inner circle — Donald Trump Jr., Steve Bannon, and Stephen Miller — to determine what Trump actually intended on January 6th. And now, in a third gut-punch within 24 hours, the BBC is demanding records showing exactly how Trump LOST his executive privilege claims during Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's January 6th investigation. Smith's team had already gathered evidence establishing that the Capitol violence was "foreseeable" to Trump, that he "caused it," and that he made "a conscious choice not to stop it" once it began. If the BBC gets that evidence, Trump's entire defamation case collapses. Trump built a career suing media outlets into silence. This time, he sued an organization willing to actually fight — and in doing so, handed prosecutors a roadmap straight into his finances, his inner circle, and his own conduct on January 6th. Plus, the public may get another chance to review the evidence that Jack Smith amassed against Trump, evidence that judges appointed by the litigious president have made sure that he’ll never be held accountable for. Sometimes a lawsuit is simply a trap you built for yourself. Please like and share to spread the news!

I feel sad seeing newly planted trees in London dying or dead. It doesn’t take much to come out with a watering can or bucket once or twice a week to keep them alive. Please share. Encourage people to look after what little nature we have.

@johnsweeneyroar @Waterstones @headlinepg Is it too late for you to be the Martin Bell candidate in Clacton?

@JohnSimpsonNews Very sad to hear this. A charming man and first-rate writer. Gave v good FOOC.

Very sad to hear of the death of my good friend Edward Stourton, a charming, gentle, highly intelligent man. He was horribly treated by the BBC when he was sacked as a ‘Today’ presenter, but bore it with Christian forgiveness and found other ways of expressing his great talents.

@washingtonpost - what is wrong with you people? Why ask the excellent @hcjewell to write #TheSeven and then get the robotic Bria to voice it? Totally detracts from my daily enjoyment of the best daily start to the American news cycle. #GetAGrip

@JohnSimpsonNews You had me until you mentioned the Austen woman, John. Vastly overrated IMHO. To each his own.

Her novels are refreshingly easy to read, with an open, flowing style. Very amusing, like a mid-Victorian Jane Austen.
