Community Project Manager at The ConversationMaking sure academic voices get in the public sphere during the day. Because we all need more information from people who are actual experts in their fields. My comments here my own, especially the leftwing ones.

Who would have thought that when impartiality rules kick in on TV, the one who talks about policies that will benefit the many, not the few will get more people enthused than the let's get Brexit done broken record who is running away from interviews and debates?
Interesting. For me, as a man who works from home, that separation is between formal and everything else. From a practical POV, it's great, easy. But I do sometimes find that things in the formal pile slowly creep into the everything else pile just because I would never wear those clothes otherwise.
It is distressing that many Jewish people feel let down, or worse, by the Labour party. The party has handled things badly. There is antisemitism on the fringes of the left. To say that Jeremy Corbyn and the leadership of the party is antisemitic however is baseless and disgraceful.
We need to eradicate

We need to eradicate antisemitism and all forms of racism from society and there's much to do. Labour stands with minorities against direct, structural and gratuitous racism.
Great news for Jeremy Corbyn and Labour.
So obviously on the day those awful numbers are announced, the Tories decide to go big on anti-migrant rhetoric and general racism.
The EU is big on rhetoric and … that's about it. A researcher recently calculated that EU countries collectively spent $87 billion subsidising the cost of fossil fuels in 2017, 2.5 times more than they spent in 2010.

“Germany moved from being one of the countries with highest levels of taxes on fossil fuels in 2010 (US$12 billion in 2010), to its second largest subsidiser (US$21 billion in 2017) – right behind Poland (US$26 billion in 2017).”
5 quick ways to figure out where businesses stand on modern slavery, that an Oxford academic came up with:
1. Is there a modern slavery statement on the home page?
2. Does their statement talk about audits, not just policies?
3. Are company directors mentioned/involved in the statement?

5 quick ways to figure out where businesses stand on modern slavery, that an Oxford academic came up with:
1. Is there a modern slavery statement on the home page?
2. Does their statement talk about audits, not just policies?
3. Are company directors mentioned/involved in the statement?
4. Does the statement tell you about the risks?
5. Do employees and contractors receive training?
She wrote about those in more detail in The Conversation: https://theconversation.com/0-125015

Let's go! Labour's campaign will likely focus on people's lives, proposing radical solutions to change the status quo so the economy works for the many, not the few while the Tories will bang on about Brexit, jingoism, Brexit, communist invaders and more Brexit.

Let's go! Labour's campaign will likely focus on people's lives, proposing radical solutions to change the status quo so the economy works for the many, not the few while the Tories will bang on about Brexit, jingoism, Brexit, communist invaders and more Brexit.
