Physical chemist Ruth Benerito died #OTD in 2013. She pioneered a key chemical process, cross-linking, which led to wrinkle-resistant cotton fabrics. It transformed the cotton industry & helped save it from competition w/synthetic fibers. #WomenInSTEM She held >50 patents. #inventor
Color photograph of scientist Ruth Benerito in a chemistry laboratory. She is an older woman with curly white hair, wearing large round gold-framed glasses, subtle makeup, small black earrings, a silver ring, and a light blue lab coat over a collared shirt. She sits or stands thoughtfully with her chin resting on her hand, gazing slightly off-camera with a serious, contemplative expression. Behind and beside her is complex scientific glassware apparatus, including a round-bottom flask labeled "BUCHI PLASTIC-GLAS," green-tinted tubing, a distillation setup with clamps, connectors, and other lab equipment mounted on stands. The background shows more blurred lab instrumentation, evoking a professional research environment at the USDA Southern Regional Research Center where she conducted her groundbreaking work on cotton chemistry.

Just Rupert Lowe accusing the British government of treason. Worth remembering next time Restore claim that it is “woke lefties” who are encouraging violence.
Rupert Lowe 
What happened in Gosport is a humiliation for the British people, again.
The police implemented a dispersal order to cover the town of Gosport. It is astonishing the levels of our establishment go to in order to import these men.
These third world invaders will now be spread around the country - housed, fed, accommodated, cared for.
It is treason.
I want to be abundantly clear over what a Restore Britain Government will do.
If a civil servant or politician has knowingly placed unvetted dangerous criminals in our communities?
They will be prosecuted, and where appropriate, sent to prison.
I am sick of it. The British people are sick of it.
We need to deport millions, and send those responsible to prison.
It's that simple.

Burnham edges Labour closer to finally, maybe, being sane about Brexit. Over 10 years, £Billions of cost, thousands of business failures, mountains of red tape, wasted resources and lost opportunities later…. our govt may, at last, cautiously, start to be honest about the Brexit moronathon. Yay.
The Independent front page headline: 

Burnham edges Labour closer to rejoining EU
After Ed Miliband tells party conference Britain's future is at the heart of Europe, ministers say it is 'not if but how' prime minister will include Brexit reversal in next election manifestoThere is growing optimism that a way back into the EU could be put to voters at the next election after the prime minister and senior ministers made it clear they believe Brexit has been a failure at this year's party conference.
When The Independent asked Mr Burnham about whether Rejoin would be in Labour's next election manifesto on his recent trip to the UN in New York, he refused to rule it out - having said a year ago when he was
Manchester mayor that he believes the
UK should rejoin the EU.

Andy Burnham has already warned about the 'drift and division' in the decade since Brexit (Getty)

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

You know that saying about how the way they treat asylum seekers is the way they’d treat everyone else if they thought they could get away with it? Well,
The Tories said the reduced subsistence allowance would be loaded onto pre-paid card that would not allow cash withdrawals, and would "prevent spending" on alcohol, cigarettes, or gambling.
The party is yet to detail how its proposal would work, but shadow welfare secretary Helen Whately said it would be "a version" of the pre-paid Aspen card issued to asylum seekers living in government-funded accommodation.
These cards cannot be used to make contactless, telephone or internet payments, whilst asylum seekers whose applications have failed cannot withdraw cash.
