"Planned cuts to physics and astronomy funding threaten to undermine a core UK government strategy to harness innovation to boost economic growth, leading researchers have warned ministers."
Thanks @financialtimes.com for covering this really important story

Stay out of Trump and Netanyahu’s stupid war please, Britain. Keep em off our bases.
Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.
Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.
Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.
How many more countries does Donald Trump have to bomb before he gets a Nobel Peace Prize?
Jewish Voice for Peace denounces the immoral and illegal war on Iran launched by the United States and Israel last night. These attacks expand the endless wars that could destroy the lives of tens of millions of people.
Please, Britain, don’t get involved in helping the terrorists do terror.
STFC CEO responds to @jonbutterworth.bsky.social
"it is important for all of our ... programmes ... to contribute to us making savings across our entire portfolio"
No mention that *all* is disproportionately falling on the particle-astro-nuclear programme 🤷♀️😡

I mean, I’d scrap tuition fees in a heartbeat. They are bad for graduates crippled with debt. And they are bad for students because it’s actually led to a worse uni experience. Style over substance. Shiny new buildings over lecturers who teach. VCs who’ve forgotten what a uni was meant to be about
You almost feel sorry for these Labour sell outs having to go on TV to defend the latest awful move from their govt.
“We’ll keep [our terrible plans] under review”
I feel much more sorry for students and graduates though. Not good enough Labour

JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM
I think the right word to describe that away end today after Macca scored a second time is “limbs”
My voice is gone.

Congrats again!
Unlucky Racing. 💚
Just reading through the 14 characteristics of fascism. These two weren’t the only ones to catch the eye
Has Netanyahu broken international law?
Has Trump broken international law?
Is the Pope catholic?
Funny how U.K. politicians find it so hard to have an opinion on the most obvious of things.
(Except @zackpolanski.bsky.social ofc - the only one with any backbone)
Bloody ‘ell. Unapologetic empire building and boasting that no one will stand up to Trump.

Jeez. Greenland is in the NATO alliance. How hard can this be?
Someone came into my house and nicked all my stuff, leaving me with scraps. I decided to fight back because I wanted to keep my own stuff. But they didn’t like that so they started dropping bombs and kidnapped me so they could have all my stuff again
Here lies Nottingham’s finest mathematician
You don’t much like the leader of another country? Don’t worry. You can just send in the marines to kidnap him and his wife.
Precedent set.
Man who supported governments that cut public services for fourteen years complains about cuts to police, schools and healthcare.
The temper tantrums being thrown by tepid centrists in Labour and the media since Zack started ruffling feathers is probably my second favourite thing of 2025
