I don't think university (or college) staff should have intimate relationships with students in their institution. Many UK universities now (belatedly) have policies banning staff/student relationships starting and declaring existing ones e.g. if mature familymember becomes a student etc.

“There is no “scrapping” of the key features of the triple lock - pensions will still benefit from all three elements of the policy, it is a mechanism change that will save future governments money as they will not have to pay for the effects of inflation (and their flow-through to wages) twice.”

Burnham made Farage seem “angry, thin-skinned… absurd. What we witnessed today was a masterclass in political communication which makes Farage look like an amateur” Finally. The confidence that comes with emotional intelligence. It could make all the difference. iandunt.substack.com/p/burnham-sp...

The cynic in me reckons the main reason for this decision is cost - with so many positive people in hospital the cost would be astronomical. I'm not defending the decision. - I think it is bonkers.

This person went on GBNews to attack Labour & call for tax cuts but it turns out her parents took out £2.5 million from the business and that is the cause of her problems. But of course, the BBC simply takes her claims at face value because it suits a certain narrative. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

It's troubling that an NHS England official tried to suppress criticism of the FDP rollout before the Palantir deal and that the data guardian let this happen. (1/6)

Why does this not surprise me. These companies know that they need to employ people with contacts and political experience to help them. I do not want Palantir to be involved in the NHS or indeed anywhere else in the UK!

I fail to understand how this is still possible. Breast cancer pathway has had MDT clinic requirement for years - so no single person makes the decision about treatment. The amount of money involved is phenomenal and no single surgeon should have had this power.😢🤬 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A personal story about that phrase “young men of fighting age” applied to asylum seekers. As many of you know I took in a young Ukrainian woman under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. As part of that process, soon after she arrived we were visited by the local authority rep and a Fire Brigade rep.
