At a time of growing political instability and jeopardy, rejoining the EU isn’t an academic issue or one borne of nostalgia. It’s a matter of political necessity.

🚨Our new study is out! We've put AI to good use, to classify and identify dinosaur footprints!
Dinosaur footprints are more common than bones. But to figure out which dinosaur made a track, we need to do the Cinderella thing, and match a footprint to a foot. And that's hard.

This will continue to happen as long as Covid is allowed to spread relentlessly in schools. The virus can cause immune dysregulation, making kids more susceptible to other infections and reactivations

Ancient pine trees growing in eastern Spain have quietly recorded more than five centuries of Mediterranean weather. Analysis of tree rings clearly shows that todays storms and droughts are becoming more intense and more frequent than almost anything the region has experienced since the early 1500s.

People parking partly on the pavement is common in the UK. Unfortunately this often means people using wheelchairs, rollators, and pushchairs or prams cannot get past - having to go right out into busy streets in order to get past cars that have parked on the pavement - creating unnecessary dangers

We could protect these kids in other ways, for example by cleaning the air with far-UV, HEPA and ventilation systems. But there does not seem to be a will to protect children's health.

And C19 is bad for kids. Plenty of other airborne viruses are dreadful for kids too. Measles. Influenza. And respies are one tool amongst many that are effective.
There is no reason kids can’t know about and learn to use respies or other well fitted masks.

Phillipson has been a poor Education Secretary. After having criticised the Tories in 2022 for doing nothing about #CleanAir in schools she has done absolutely nothing to protect children from #COVID. More things to worry about like vascular damage in children!

Kilauea erupted again yesterday in a fierce display. In only the 2nd time in 40 years, park officials closed the area due to the intensity.
Fountains were officially recorded at 500 m high, grapefruit size tephra were being ejected, and tephra fall was measured up to 20 miles away.

I'm always amazed that people seem to not know this. Believe me, as someone who worked in construction & had their workplace raided - & nearly got carted off during the raid because we were taking too long, in their opinion, to find the p/copy of my UK passport - UK immigration raids happen.
Once again tapping my sign: ICE exist in the UK 🚨 They have had arrest powers since 2000. This government - not a hypothetical future one - is working harder than ever before to raid homes and businesses.
Immigration Enforcement raids at the highest level in UK history
Record number of arrests and raids of illegal workers across the UK including 187 raids in Northern Ireland leading to 234 arrests.
