Both Michael Portillo and Camilla Tominey are the absolute must-watch TV on any day of the week

Good to be in a country that has the right idea.

Shame(ful). Cultural Boycott bullies have won here. When such an important literary festival like Hay gives in to such censoriousness, this cowering gives succour to those who trade in antisemitism by treating any connection with Israel as contaminating. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/2…

Universities sorry for likening gender critics to anti-Semities dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

This event was so difficult to organize and really took its toll on me, but I'm so glad we did it; the cause couldn't be more important.

Many thanks to everyone who spoke, organized and attended ☺️

Important point: 'Much is made of the need for research independence (typically defined solely by an absence of industry funding, regardless of ideology or other affiliations); but independence has little value if it is not accompanied by intelligence and integrity.'

Good luck with your Big Launch tonight🚀Cardiff Academic Freedom Association

Crossing all fingers + toes for you, hope it's a great discussion!

.Russell Group we are simply appalled by the inclusion of gender critical speech in this way. Have you learnt absolutely nothing from the many employment tribunals? We are students, some at RG unis and we will be fighting back against this!

My six-point plan to fix the broken NHS, based on half a century of experience in medicine.

And no, the answer isn't billions and billions of pounds more in funding....

Radical and fundamental changes are needed.

I really enjoyed today’s Annual University of Derby Education Studies Conference University of Derby.

A special thank you goes to the speakers Prof. Bob Bowie, Fr Jonathan Whitby-Smith, Clive Wright, Hayley Bowen and Dr Nicholas Joseph.

Then, a lunch with my partner in crime (mi hermana) Dr Laura Favaro and Alan Sokal...

Perhaps University of Leeds will consider changing course away from punishing Uni Leeds Staff for their legitimate #FreeSpeech & #AcademicFreedom to avoid ending up on this list.

I hope Prof Hai-Sui Yu will learn from The Open University's loss at employment tribunal vs Prof Jo Phoenix.
