If it takes an act of parliament to remove Michelle Mone from the House of Lords then let's get on that. The government has a massive majority. Who's voting against removing (in the beautifully appropriate words of Dr Rachel Clarke) the "utterly avaricious greedy scumbag" #PPEScandal #MoneOut

When we say the page is 18 cm wide, we're not setting a challenge, that's how wide it really is.

Is the #postoffice sponsoring #ITVdrama to change the narrative? Like BoJo talking about model buses? I do hope compensation money for subpostmasters hasn’t been spent on sponsorship.

I feel like we missed a trick by not using an Uncle Sam/Lord Kitchener (who is the chemistry equivalent?!) image for this....but either way, read this...it's important. Here's a free-to-read link in case you don't have access rdcu.be/eDGTW

Labour's cowardice in the face of extremism The party's silence is an act of moral debasement.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social @stellacreasy.bsky.social Where is the Labour party that I joined? We've got to start fighting back against this nonsense.

Blatantly false advert from TNT sports suggesting all football can be viewed on TNT sports.

Blatantly false advert from TNT sports suggesting all football can be viewed on TNT sports.

That's just the point though. They're not "all in one place" real football fans are forced to subscribe to multiple different channels to follow their team.

'It's very bleak' - what's gone wrong at West Ham? BBC Sport analyses the issues behind West Ham's poor start to the season.

Good way to start the evening. Margarita but with a kick.

I'd call that barely coherent, but it doesn't begin to cover it. I don't particularly like the alternative (Vance) but it's time for the 25th amendment. #makeitstop

Normalising huge substrate scopes worsens wellbeing And holds up the pace of scientific progress

Increasing substrate scope is rarely addressed in discussions about the pressure that scientists face. Despite the growing awareness around burnout in research, larger tables are often welcomed, even when the extra work may not be scientifically valuable.

Delighted to be able to officially post news of this conference that I've been involved with organizing (and very much looking forward to attending.

Why does the media give Reform BS so much air time? Why do we always have to have the debate on their terms? The Swivel-eyed loons blame immigrants for anything bad and refuse to acknowledge that the country would be screwed without them.

I mean I totally get that people might be disappointed with some of the moves Labour have made - we all know what they are, child benefit cap and winter fuel are obvious examples. But why are people running to Reform? If you're pissed about these things, the obvious move is Lib Dem or Green.

So just to get this straight, the Tories spent 14 years screwing everything up, then having given Labour a little under a year to fix it all, the electorate have decided that it's time to switch to an even more extreme version of the Tories. Yep, that sums it up. #LocalElections2025

A good man in government And how they tried to destroy him.

The correct plural (pedant alert) of attorney general aside this by @iandunt.bsky.social is fantastic. Especially the line about injecting a clown's eyeballs with crystal meth.
