This is not correct, from a scholarly nor public understanding point of view, and I think it's important to be clear. Scientific Racism (or its modern monikers, e.g. HBD or Race Realism) and eugenics are related but different sets of ideas. 1/n

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

While the future course of the conflict in the Middle East remains highly uncertain, the increased cost of energy bills and petrol at the pump will almost certainly be passed on to households. Watch our event from Monday for discussion on the coming cost of living crunch⤵️ buff.ly/srukFo5
James Smith, Chief Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:
“Despite hopes for a sustained peace, the path of this conflict remains uncertain and energy prices remain well above pre-war levels, meaning many households face a decline in their purchasing power this year.
“This squeeze will run right through the income distribution.''
“Deescalation is certainly welcome, but damage to household finances this year is to a large degree already done. The Government should act now to prepare a social tariff that reaches households falling through the cracks this winter.”
