I am gainfully employed by a newspaper. Future generations will not be able to say that.

I wrote this tribute to my mum, Marje, who gave me such hope in her final days (and, to be fair, throughout her life)

Ah, Christmas.

When we celebrate the birth of a child in Bethlehem on what is today the West Bank, and are supposed to ignore the killing of 10,000 children in Gaza.

I want to associate myself with Rashid Khalidi's devastating critique of the Columbia University administration infringement of free speech and blatant bias against pro-Palestinian students. This should not stand in a self-respecting university. It is a disgrace.

Social determinants of health ... and crime. People can't afford to eat. It means relying on charity or, increasingly, on stolen food. How about remembering: tough on the causes of crime.

“Can you name the big British employer that punished staff for boycotting a small fraction of their work by taking *all of their pay* for each day of their boycott?” Aditya Chakrabortty on how universities are behaving like the most obnoxious of employers: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Thank you Aditya Chakrabortty for this account of uni bosses’ wage theft. QMUL is certainly at the top of the table of worst HE employers but, as he shows, accelerated exploitation + the proletarianisation of white collar professionals is endemic + systematic.

UK economy is struggling because it is essentially a plutocracy. Wealth is hoarded, or invested in safe land, property or finance, opposed to the real economy. Compliant Government keeps taxes low reducing investment into public services as key factor of production.

Thank you Aditya Chakrabortty for describing what this year has been like in UK higher education. Shame on all those in the sector who have lost their moral compass. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This is yet more blancmange on Gaza from Labour. “The recent months have been intolerable”. “Hamas must have no future in Gaza”. “Israel must end its bombing campaign”. None of it adds up to a coherent articulation of a policy.

Jake Wallis Simons Rt. Hon Ben Wallace MP The Jewish Chronicle are making me defend a Tory MP.

What depths has it fallen too.

There are better sources of news than the dumpster fire that is now the JC.

. Aditya Chakrabortty you forgot to mention that QMUL was one of the first Living Wage employer and even had a banner that right at the main gate telling the world so.

Underpaid, overworked, and struggling to hold up a health service in collapse, junior doctors have had enough.

I sat down with the co-chairs of Junior Doctors Vivek Trivedi and Dr Robert Laurenson to discuss the latest wave of strike action.
