Nearly 100 years after her death, Oxford’s first female Indigenous scholar honoured Mākereti Papakura died weeks before handing in her thesis at Oxford university documenting the life and customs of her tribe, work that is still used by Māori today

'In a tragic turn, Mākereti Papakura – believed to be the first woman from an Indigenous community to study at the university – died just weeks before completing her thesis, and in the decades since, her family has fought to have her degree recognised.'

Starmer’s desperate rush for digital IDs is a recipe for repression ID cards won’t reduce migration and will put trans rights at risk. But that’s not the biggest cost of Starmer’s half-baked scheme, says Cat MacLean.

Happy #caturday

In London, hate will never win.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Good night

Beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️

Lies, lies and more damn lies. How is he allowed to spread this nonsense?
The judgement explicitly stated that ECHR was not considered in the ruling.

I wouldn’t swap for peace 😀😀😀❤️

Why don't GCSE resits work?

My thoughts which I also shared on LBC this morning.

This is very insightful. As someone who had to resit, it is demoralising. You feel like a failure. I was able to pass the resit but I still have nightmare as that I’m made to resit my GCSEs. Im 40 and doing a PhD, but still have these nightmares!

aswinn It is truly bizarre to me -- not just misogynistic but like bizarrely deranged -- to live in a world where you believe that hundreds of women are lying about one man who must be telling the truth. MY VOICE MY CHOICE

All the protected powerful men

A growing economy is good news, and today's growth figures are actually better than expected, even if below the average since 2000. More broadly, the government is running out of time to put direct support for living standards at the heart of its strategy for growth.

Yes!!!

Thanks

14 years ago, we lost this incredibly talented woman, Amy Winehouse.

I often put on her music when I’m feeling troubled, lost in the world, I misunderstood.

Thank you for the music, Amy .

This explains a lot to a recently diagnosed AuDHD 😂😂

I would not have been diagnosed in the '80s. I'm female, I was well behaved (at school), I had good grades. Until it was all too much for too long and I crashed. Everyone else was surprised, I'd been steuggling all my life.

How cool is this!

@sevenoaksbookshop.bsky.social how about it? 😀❤️

OMG this sounds amazing! This needs to be a national thing! 😀😀😀❤️
