Maurice Nagington @nagingtonuom.bsky.social · 26/11/2025It's not that Farage was racist 50 years ago, it's that he is clearly lying about his past patterns of behaviours. It wasn't a one off that was forgettable for him but memorable for the victim, it was a regular occurrence. He simply isn't credible & this Trumpian attempt to brush it off won't work. 162

Maurice Nagington @nagingtonuom.bsky.social · 16/11/2025EVEN IF they address the two child cap at the next budget that was a DAY ONE priority for me.

Maurice Nagington @nagingtonuom.bsky.social · 28/10/2025I can't remember the article, but someone did actually do some research calculating the cost/benefit of writing grant applications, and concluded that for most arts and humanities work it made sense to just equitably distribute money. It was only useful for things involving big machines/buildings. 030
Maurice Nagington @nagingtonuom.bsky.social · 28/10/2025That's fine if you're in a position where you have a secure/permanent job and/ot a manager who understands the calculus for all this. Not everyone has both of those. 000
Maurice Nagington @nagingtonuom.bsky.social · 28/10/2025It's actually quite useful to know that you have a sub 10% chance of getting a grant with some ESRC/AHRC...
