A twitter thread - more general than the Research issue but it illustrates the direction of travel The View of a Tech Insider A you’ll want to read Amid all this talk of DOGE and tech and data and access, I thought I’d check in with another friend of mine who does this work for a living to...

Chaos is a by product, useful but not the main objective. There seems a pretty clear intended outcome: with reduced costs directly claimable on the grant fund, University administrations would reduce all 'included services' to researchers beyond the very basics of administering the grant -...

Text = Here we are demonstrating against the NHS in job centres back in 2015. We succeeded then thanks to DPAC, Mental Health Resistance Network and Recovery in the Bin. We must now. Work is not a health outcome. Mental health provision must be independent to the hugely feared DWP. Text =...

This is the new Government's primary policy statement on Employment and it includes a lot on illhealth and disiability and return to work from illness. It needs to be read carefully and while the report launch saw some lurid headlines in certain news outlets, e.g...
