Don't tolerate the media legitimising thugs who attack people for the colour of their skin. They aren't 'anti-immigration campaigners' like the BBC said this morning, they are violent scumbags. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

Controversial but - students *perceive* they have been failed when what has happened is they have failed to understand information retrieval is a skill requiring effort. I don't believe a zero friction experience is realistic or desirable in learning, actually.

Following the price surge, the British right are pedalling a fantasy of self-sufficiency through North Sea oil. This has no serious basis in reality. Britain has been a net energy importer for 20 years. It has nothing to do with net zero and everything to do with decades of declining production🧵

With news today that Transport Scotland is considering substantive changes to the M8, in 2022 we held a public conversation at the university and invited practitioners, politicians and the public to contribute their views. You can read the full paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Closing the M8 has gone from out there idea to something apparently being considered by policymakers! Well done to @andrewhoolachan.bsky.social and everyone else who’s made that happen. www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

In a crowded field, RTB is arguably the most disastrous policy of the last 50 years. Rather than democratising homeownership, many former council homes are now rental assets for private landlords. If we are serious about addressing the housing crisis then RTB must be abolished, not reformed.

Some rare good news for trans people – the transphobic amendment to the Data Bill was defeated by a large margin. It would have forced trans people to out themselves virtually daily, putting people's safety and dignity at risk, so it's great to see MPs reject it comprehensively.

The vote share of the two biggest parties has been falling steadily for decades. Recent polling shows it could fall below 50%. And yet we still have a voting system designed to silence all other voices. It's time for a system update. It's time for PR. Graphic by @tldrnews.bsky.social
