"A spokesman for the @OpenUniversity said: 'We don’t comment on cases post-settlement...'"
Post-settlement?
Two years ago, pre-settlement, they told the same paper that "ongoing legal proceedings" meant they could not "comment further at this time".

Elon Musk is advertising Starlink on the London Underground.
He claims it is ‘fast’.
Not for Ukraine it wasn’t.

The case of Mike Ryder at Lancaster University may become a test case for HEFSA’s complaints scheme.
What some, including some university administrators and HR people, fail to understand is the extent to which academic freedom involves the privileging of attempts to find the truth over all over objectives. Those include the reputation of one’s institution or colleagues.
I have heard academics say that senior academics should not criticise the work of junior ones, and that their role is to be supportive and mentoring instead. I don’t accept that at all where such roles have not been formally enshrined. Nor that a white academic cannot criticise the work of a black one, a man that of a woman, and so on. The critiques must focus on the nature of the work, not the egos of those behind it. And if the work of marketing departments can be argued to be not up to scratch or ineffective, that is their problem, not with the one who argues it. (1)

This is not a ban for supporting Palestine Action but for raising funds. You cannot sell books for Palestine Action in the same way you cannot sell raffle tickets for Maniacs Murder Cult.

I discussed this in my evidence to the Intelligence and Security Committee in 2018. Boris Johnson tried to make sure the committee's report was never published.

Christian nationalism in Britain driven by people who seldom go to church, says report
Research challenges the notion that the growing visibility of crosses and other symbols reflects a revival of Christianity

It's almost an Iron Law of Whistleblowing that the whistleblower ends up being investigated while whatever they are reporting is ignored
NHS Sussex and NHS England were formally warned Brighton trans doctor was out of control in 2020, documents show. Whistleblower alleges unknown number of children harmed as eventual investigation (which began in 2025) had limited scope.

I am getting bloody tired of the campaigners who are so focused on migrant crimes against women and girls they ignore the home grown variety.

A strong implication here that this horrific murder was committed by a migrant, and plenty of responses running with that narrative.
Meanwhile the victim's white, middle class husband has been arrested.
The problem is, and has always been, men.
A GP. A mother of three. Dead in her own home in Dersingham, a mile from Sandringham, while she was hosting a sleepover for her children’s friends.
Police called at 2.20am. Children taken out of the house to safety. A man in his 40s arrested on suspicion of murder.
She had left a previous practice to spend more time with her young family. Neighbours say she was a lovely woman. They also say this is the sort of village where you can leave the car unlocked all night and nothing happens.
That Britain is gone.
Not in a city centre at closing time. In a detached house backing onto the King’s estate, during a kids’ sleepover. If a family doctor is not safe in her own home in a “crime-free” Norfolk village, stop telling people the danger is somewhere else.
The suspect has not been named. The investigation is at the start. None of that changes what those children were in the house for.
Rest in peace, Dr Hannah Terry.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
She wasn't safe in her own home as the person accused and charged with her murder is her husband. That happens across the country, whether it be quiet villages or city centres.

Sandie Peggie’s hearing against RCN has provided a “stark case study of the failure of unions to support female members who are discriminated against by their employers simply for demanding their sex-based rights.” @HJoyceGender in @thetimes

If men like you hadn’t equated women wanting single sex space with fascism for years and years you wouldn’t have created the opportunity for far right men to pose as their protectors.
There is a terf to far right pipeline.
And you helped lay half of it.
I do wish we were free from the brand of feminism that isolates women as the only and most put upon marginalised group. That allows so called feminism to be weaponised against other marginalised groups, and lets that feminism be a tool of other group’s oppression despite being present in most of those other marginalised groups.
When balaclava clad men on the street say they are “protecting women & children” against migrants, many of them women and children, they are invoking this false flag feminism.
When TERFs call their transphobia “protection of women” against transgender people it is that same brand of false flag feminism that they are invoking.
Straight white women, migrant women, LGBT women are all deserving of the same dignity, equality and protection. That shouldn’t be a difficult concept for those who fight for women’s rights.

I’m one of the harshest critics of transgenderism.
But I would never film someone who wasn’t bothering anyone and ridicule them like this...

We stand with @DarlingtonUnion but @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage cannot say the law must be enforced while arguing that they want to repeal the Equality Act.
The law IS EA2010. Pick a side.
Darlington nurse and President of the Darlington Nursing Union, Bethany Hutchison, challenges and gets commitment from @Nigel_Farage to enforce the law on single-sex spaces across UK institutions and to hold the Nursing and Midwifery Council to account for investigating nurses who believe in biological reality 👇🏻

I think Reform are exploiting the opportunity handed to them to try and hoodwink women into voting for a party that intends to remove all of our equalities legislation and justifies hitting women on the head with sticks if they’re lefties.
