Utterly scandalous that this isn't getting wider traction and outrage.
A clear national asset & treasure, a repository for knowledge that is of national & global renown, as significant a living monument as any damn slave trader statue--and not a peep from the heritage brigade.
Privatisation of British Library:
To be asset stripped, destroyed like water companies & Royal Mail:
BL management will close reading rooms, converting them into paid, private spaces operated by commercial company.
They propose outsourcing in-house security.
Stop this rip-off.

Very interesting thread from Ellie Mae O’Hagan on B/sky about trying to raise the alarm about Brand years ago when he started getting involved in left wing politics (worth reading the whole thing)

this is so pathetic lol. entire government & party completely unable to take responsibility for or defend their own decisions, trying to pass it off as if it was done by the courts, the security services, expert advisers, as if we're all completely stupid
Incredible scenes as @novaramedia’s Michael Walker questions @YvetteCooperMP over her decision to proscribe direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation.
To date, her policy has led to nearly 4,000 arrests of peaceful protesters under the UK Terrorism Act.

For @zeteouk I wrote about the Home Office’s latest facepalm - If the govt really wants to prevent rape, why give guidelines only to asylum seekers? open.substack.com/pub/zeteou…

Christ alive. Her school needs a safeguarding inspection, pronto.
Gosh won’t we miss Rod Liddle!
A genius comedian while always speaking from the heart.
He was so supportive of us at Michaela. Knew how destructive smartphones are to kids.
Fought the good fight while telling us all to take a leap!
He was the best of them.
May he RIP. 😢

Yeah but he's a white senior manager so nobody is going to make this into a political scandal, no thoughtful pieces about what this says about the state of UK academia
The University of Greater Manchester’s vice-chancellor George Holmes has left his position amid an ongoing police investigation into alleged financial irregularities at the institution. @TWilliamsTHE reports #highered

On the 'moral stupidity displayed in the face of the Gaza genocide.'
'These people act morally stupidly not because they know nothing, but because they know too much – and because what they know, if inhabited fully, would cost them their world.'

You are *literally* in charge of regulating this place, you coward🤦♀️
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.

🧵 Something that socialists have not thought about enough, in my view, is how academisation has disproportionately affected working class kids & their communities. 1/6
