Nigel Farage Is a Racist The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda ADAM BIENKOV OCT 04, 2025 Nigel Farage is a racist. That is my honestly held opinion based on absolutely everything he has said and done since entering politics in the late nineties.

“The second anyone suggests that a man whose entire political career has been devoted to attacking migrants and making discriminatory comments about non-white people, might be a racist, all hell breaks loose”

Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so.

Very proud to see brilliant SLT Researcher @samburrslt.bsky.social mentioned not once but twice in this list of awards. Congratulation Sam!

The attack on the Manchester Jewish community is devastating.

No ifs, ands or buts.

People being killed through hateful violence is abhorrent.

My heart goes out to the victims, their families & everyone living in fear because of this cruelty.

Grief must bind us closer not drive us further apart.

Glossogram with dark red indicating constriction and blue diagonal (tongue compartment contracted) demonstrating peristaltic transfer of water bolus from oral-pharyngeal. This is easiest to explain as sequential extension of neuromuscular compartments of the tongue.

Thank you 😊

The four key actions:

1. Guarantee open and free science by law
2. Founding: Allocate €500 million (2025–2027) to attract global researchers + aim for 3% of GDP invested in R&D by 2030
3. Shorten the path from science to startup
4. Make it easier for scientists to relocate to Europe

A graphic about the Airway Stenosis Twitter Takeover Dr Gemma Clunie did for the RCSLT on 4 November 2022. It highlights three themes: what is airway stenosis, what is the role of SLT in airway stenosis, and giving voice to people with airway stenosis.

🎉 Happy #May4thBeWithYou and #AirwayStenosis Awareness Day everyone.
