Deeply disappointed to see that the @IMechE lecture theatre at birdcage walk was used to host Nigel Farage's speech today. Far right politicians and their vile opinions should have no place in our profession or institutions.

makes no sense that women were ever labeled as being unstable. being a man is a mental illness. every 6 months i have to fight the voices from the void telling me to tear my life asunder in favor of joining a crab fishing boat in alaska. it’s insane. i dont even like fishing

UK workers must accept lower pay deals to help beat inflation, says £375k a year Bank of England Deputy Governor. Silence on exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. Average wage unchanged since 2006. Millions already in poverty. It is class war. theguardian.com/business/2024/…

The problem with Thatcherism is eventually you run out of other people's houses.

Astonishing stat: 40% of council houses sold through Right to Buy are now rented by private landlords (up to 70% in some places) at double the cost of council housing. Presumably with many of those renters supported by housing benefit. Utter madness!

I mean if you cannot pass the very low bar of "thinking London is a good city to live in", something which actual French people manage to do, how on earth can you call yourself an English nationalist?

This time last year Avanti had cut services down the west coast. Govt provided only a temporary contract extension while it monitored performance. Then it gave it its contract back and services are immediately slashed again. So what exactly has the govt been monitoring

Plucky underdogs with nothing to rely on but the ability to call the date of the election, a sixty-seat majority, over a decade in power, 95% of the print media on their side, newly-restrictive voter ID laws and billionaire donors funding their campaign.

2nd July. 1863. Gettysburg. Meade, in command of Union forces, has placed III Corps on the extreme left of his line. He’s ordered General Dan Sickles, its commander, to hold a position on Cemetery Ridge, the key to his left flank. But Sickles is about to make a mistake. /1
