Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

There is a “catastrophic decline” in formal language learning in Britain: Only 2.97% of A-Levels taken in 2024 were for Modern Foreign Languages, Classical Subjects, Welsh (Second Language) and Irish. linkedin.com/posts/philbaty…

Leaving aside all the other criticisms, the proscription of Palestine Action is a monumentally stupid action from the perspective of the legitimacy of the state & the legal system. The draconian powers of the Terrorism Act 2000 worked when they were confined to organisations that only a tiny fraction of the population would ever support. Has the government really thought through the second-order effects of branding the opinions of likely millions of people as supporting ‘terrorism’? Even if there isn’t a mass campaign of disobedience against the new laws, the government has significantly weakened the seriousness with which many people will now view terrorism proscription & undermined the fight against those organisations that actually deserve to be proscribed. I think we can also expect many more jury nullification type acquittals putting further strain on the system and all for little practical effect, given many people will continue to silently support Palestine Action, even if they can’t express it out loud.

This is the HQ of Avis Capital. It claims to be one of the largest companies in the UK, with £58bn in assets and 31% returns promised to investors. Except it's all a lie. Here's how regulatory failures are letting international fraudsters create massive fake UK companies.

Wow. Nigel Farage's nephew caught upskirting..... Avoided jail. Is this two tier justice @Nigel_Farage @LeeAndersonMP_ @TiceRichard ?

I think women in Orpington and around should be able to see the face of Joseph Farage, Nigel’s nephew who just admitted to upskirting. His sentence was just a series of fines, and he’s not on the sex offenders register, so how else are women kept safe? thetimes.com/uk/society/art…

“What we’re seeing isn’t some slow, careful rebalancing of the system, done [in] teenagers’ best interests... Instead, it’s just another messy, confused decline of something Britain was genuinely once good at, which contributed billions to the economy while projecting soft power”

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that the Guardian's 'deep dive' into university finances is riven with snobbery, class prejudice, and the claim that rather than more funding what universities really need is to be 'restructured' 🙄 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

UK students going to lower and medium tariff universities will be getting meaningfully less funding per student (about 25%) than their peers – paying the same fee – going to selective universities. Essential analysis from @markcorver 👇🏼 linkedin.com/posts/markcorv…

It was not until the 19th century that Ordnance Survey made the first complete, detailed map of Britain. It would take 8 decades. OS #maps were made in a particular order, for particular reasons. In a story in @TheEconomist we piece the maps together to trace how OS did it.

A day after of the Taliban BANNED female university education, women & girls have come out on the streets of Kabul protesting against the decree. They chant —“Either for everyone or for no one. One for all, all for one” Amplify their voices.
