The attack on Iran will not liberate its brutally-oppressed people, but make matters worse. It could be a trigger for major conflagration.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Someone pls give a medal to that f lunatic!

Israel declares that the attack on Iran was a joint strike with the United States. The US is now at war with Iran as well.

I apologize for initially being somewhat skeptical of Phillip Morris.

In all of our interactions, they made it profoundly clear that they are unequivocally opposed to any and all use of tobacco products and that they remain committed to partnering with us to achieve the best possible outcome.

Will UKRI’s funding buckets shore up UK research’s sandcastle? Academics’ concerns are mounting as news drips out of the research councils about cuts and freezes ahead of a major funding restructuring intended to promote interdisciplinarity and transparency. But ...

"The suspension of applications to grants schemes conducted by the MRC, BBSRC and EPSRC *plus limits imposed on approvals to bids already in the system* have heightened concerns the rearrangement of funding may reduce funding to fundamental research" ‡️🫀
