Green Party deputy criticised for attending rally opposing Khamenei killing

What has the world come to when Keir Starmer, a human rights lawyer, is attacking the deputy leader of the @greenparty.org.uk for protesting the blatantly illegal assassination of a head of state? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

β€œIrreparable Damage”: University Face Backlash After Voluntary Severance Scheme Announced. Dundee University has faced backlash after announcing a further 180 FTE staff cuts through voluntary severance. This announcement arrives in the middle of a major restructuring of the eight schools…

An excellent article summarising the strength of feeling on campus against the VS scheme and its timing, at the University of Dundee.

Devastating job losses with zero consultation with unions is not the way to run a university, unless you want to run it into the ground.

Our solidarity with all the staff and students affected by this devastating news.

Ramadan kareem!

And happy Ash Wednesday!

Thrilled to see how seriously Reform supporters are taking Lent this year. No doubt they'll be marking it the traditional way by going vegetarian!

Good news Elbit systems will no longer be paid billions to train UK troops. Bad news that in Britain in 2026 activists are starving themselves to defend principles we should take for granted.

Iranians deserve better than their brutal and repressive regime. But we've all seen this movie before. They're not going to see that brighter future if Trump has anything to do with it.

Interesting stuff on why the Trump administration has its eyes in Greenland. Plus terrifying stuff on the pace of climate change there. Genuinely a case of truth being stranger than fiction. open.spotify.com/show/7xN0obO...

Why your chocolate is getting smaller, more expensive and less chocolatey Christmas treats are getting eaten away by 'shrinkflation' and the Grinch even has an eye on the cocoa content.

Why is chocolate expensive? "Extreme weather caused by climate change has hit cocoa farmers' crop yields in Africa"

The climate crisis is real, it's here, it's affecting you, and this is just the beginning.

Scotland's future can be that of a fairer, greener and independent country, where polluters, greedy landlords, and big corporations pay their fair share.

Opposing rallies taking place over Inverness barracks asylum plans The UK government has announced plans to accommodate about 300 men at the city's Cameron Barracks.

Ridiculous false "balance" from BBC. There's a difference between holding right wing views on immigration and showing up at actual migrants' homes to tell them they shouldn't be there. If you're doing that you're XRW or standing next to them and you should be ashamed.

Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts Safe homes for Scotland’s swifts -

πŸͺ½ Our swift population is in sharp decline. They've fallen by two thirds since 1995 and were added to the UK's conservation red list in 2020.

πŸ“¨ But we have a simple, low-cost solution. Tell the government that now is the time to act to save our swifts.
