I asked Streeting's DHSC for "any previous draft versions of the Appleby Report and any internal departmental correspondence and communications, including emails, relating to it."

*Three months* later - the Act gives them 20 days - DHSC has refused saying it will cost >£600 to comply. #ItsACoverUp

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

Everyone: Trump destroying the university sector is a massive opportunity for the UK to drive growth in high value sectors and pull in some amazing researchers!

The Treasury:
'UK research council leaders are bracing for cuts to quality-related (QR) research funding of up to £100 million a year ahead of next week’s Spring Statement – a move likely to lead to a fresh round of redundancies at UK universities.' 1/3
Job fears grow as Research England models £100 million QR cut
Loss of almost 8 per cent of mainstream quality-related funding feared amid concerns that Spring Statement will deepen sector funding crisis

Absolutely shocking to see a Labour secretary of state stand at the despatch box and proudly announce slashing support for some of those who need it most - including removing the UC health top-up for young people, as if young disabled people don't exist?! #DisabilityBenefits

I'm so tired of Trump's face, his voice, his ridiculous words, his nutty cabinet members, his awful voters, his imploding country. This 24/7 rolling atrocity of a presidency that poisons the entire world.

The state of Israel and Israelis can be summed up by one Israeli trying to shoot two other Israelis on the beach because he thought they were arabs.

Then the two Israelis went home and posted that arabs tried to murder them.

The bus bombing in Bat Yam Tel Aviv was done by Jewish Israelis

3 Israelis have been arrested, and there's now a reporting ban to stop the truth coming out

The attack was weaponized by Netanyahu and his Defence Minister to escalate attacks on the West Bank last night 👇🏼

Anyone surprised ?

Trump has pulled the security of former government officials we know are under threat simply because he doesn't like them. And he's done it at the same time as released a load of very angry, very violent, likely highly armed individuals who are loyal to him.

It is dark stuff.

Would that be the Wes Streeting who is forcing the NHS into bed with Peter Thiel - and who blamed "political correctness" for the grooming gangs in Rotherham - and who aligns with Elon Musk on trans youth and trans women? That Wes Streeting?

Seriously grim. Breaks my heart that fellow Jews can't see the obvious parallels.

Even if in their own self-interest. A world of hatred based on identity never works out well for us.
