Physicist MV Ramana on why nuclear power is not the solution to world’s energy needs
theguardian.com
Nuclear is costly, risky and slow, Ramana says. Why then, he asks in his new book, do governments still champion it?

Looks like Starmer’s changed Labour may well have fewer total votes than Labour got in that supposedly worse than 1935 election in 2019. Trouble ahead.

"Race is not real. But racism is real. More likely to die in pregnancy & infancy, to be expelled, unemployed, poorly housed. In all sorts of ways Black people fall foul not only of the law of the land but the law of probabilities." https://t.co/M4u4gaLxl5 Via @DoubleDownNews

Mika is my colleague and friend. Our children are similar ages so we talk lots about the joy of having a preschooler. What she has experienced today is despicable. Solidarity Mika.

Today a member of TUC staff, Mika Minio-Paluello, is being subjected to anti-trans abuse online, because she is a mother. This is unacceptable. Everyone should be safe and respected at work.

Deducting 100% of our pay during a cost of living crisis is shameful and cruel! Patronising and punishing your staff that are demanding better working conditions and a living wage is apparently how SOAS management do 'social justice'
