No criticism of those players mentioned btw who played themselves into the ground/were put in impossible situs (special nod to Woakes); both teams can be proud of what they produced in one of the most memorable series I’ve seen x

BONKERS to pick a 6 who has played 0 competitive red ball cricket all year. J Overton prob not a test bowler πŸ˜”, Tongue too shotgun (obv talent), so playing Archer & Carse in last test, given oval pitch, also q’able (with hindsight, but seemed odd at time). Smith’s loss of form also v imp.

Amazing test match, well done India and esp. Siraj. WHAT a series! The two teams are pretty much equal with different strengths, so a fair result. But thoughts on England who lost it in the selection ..

Always the same story: millions on consultancies by the central university, and departments made to cut in operational costs to meet surplus generation targets (to pay for those central costs).

Much solidarity to TAs & those left to add the work to their already burdensome workload #UKHE

Major Orange Walk road closures across Glasgow and Lanarkshire with 'significant disruption' ahead Road closures will be in place in Glasgow city centre and surrounding communities as 64 marches take place. Here's a full list of affected streets in the city and in nearby Hamilton.

Glasgow citizens are to have their lives disrupted again this weekend as we are to be subjected to another bigotfest, Sanctioned by GCC, And unchallenged by the Scottish government.

When will this anti-Catholic celebration ever become unacceptable?

Detained immigrant's pregnancy fails while in ICE custody - Nashville Banner ICE's treatment of undocumented immigrants raises concerns as a woman's experience highlights what she described as inadequate medical care while in detention.

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care.

She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.

This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

NO REDUNDANCIES at the University of Dundee.

Fantastic news in our fight to save jobs, as interim Principal Prof Nigel Seaton confirms that there will be no redundancies. A massive victory for everyone who has supported us.

Looking forward to receiving the removal of Section 188 in writing.

Here’s what we got up to on Day 5 of our industrial action.

We heard about the important role that the staff from the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science play in trying to reduce drug deaths in Scotland.

And we welcomed back supporters and friends.
