I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.
The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Brilliant.
I was on French Exchange when John Paul II died and my friend's exchange's pet rabbit also died, leading her mother to utter the immortal words <Le pape est mort, le lapin est mort, tout le monde est mort.>

Infuriating.
Still waiting for Farage-mesmerised BBC to devote more than passing sentence to fact that Greens have more councillors than Reform and that Ed Davey's Lib Dems have all bit wiped out the Tories in their traditional shire heartlands....

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.
The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.
We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

Trans women have always coexisted amongst the rest of society.
The narrative that the Supreme Court ruling is about women being unsafe due to trans women is misleading. There is no data which proves trans women pose a safety threat to women. It is a media narrative and it is false.

Why is there an expectation for pedestrians to thank drivers stopping at a Zebra crossing? “Thank you for following the law and also for not running me over?”
