Dear BBC News (UK)

I request a formal correction of this article

It is inaccurate. In the leader you have stated that the govt are investing £250m for 5000 beds “THIS” winter. This is clearly not true in any way

It is 900. By April ‘24

There will not be 5000 extra beds THIS winter

Seeing the bigger picture! Attending Policy@NewcastleUni Masterclass with PolicyFellow peers. Great way to understand regional and national policy with insights from Lewis Atkinson.

Academics should normalize failure. Particularly when we come from an underprivileged background.

Be proud of your achievements and talk about your failures.

It really helps!

Busy and positive Open day today. Lovely to meet so many applicants for Newcastle Biomedical, Nutrition & Sport Sci programmes.

Representing @NewcastleUniversity biosciences at #HUBS2023 Annual Meeting at the Wellcome Collection with @BioSciHeads
Thought provoking keynote: Prof Sir Mark Walport; how to effectively articulate what bioscience does, collaboration is key, digital capability = future success

Attending #IGPPIHE at the Royal Society of Medicine. Looking forward to making connections and gaining inspiration on innovation in HE.

*IMPORTANT*

Rishi Sunak’s Government is telling the public it’s anti strike legislation “is in common with countries like France, Italy and Spain”

It’s complete boll****. An outrageous con to rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike

What's occurin'?

Here's a special message from one of today's honourary graduates.

I love this!

The Tories don’t want us protesting

They stripped that right

…unless you’re protesting outside an abortion clinic & harassing vulnerable women as they go in

Yep

Yesterday 110 Tory MPs voted against introducing buffer zones around clinics

Wanna guess who was on that list?

Really enjoying attending the Symposium of Expertise in Teaching #expertiseLTHE today. Learning so much from different perspectives in education. Excited to be presenting with @laura_heels, Lindsay Marshall, Leo Morantes-Africano

Mike Galsworthy Jane Samuels And Newcastle upon Tyne.
