Attacks on Muslims, Black people, members of other minorities, and our brave police officers, are totally unacceptable, and we stand in solidarity with all affected. As a society, we have to be better than this. We will play our full part in this effort.

.@RoyalHistSoc is deeply concerned by the scale and speed of further #History redundancies @GoldsmithsUoL. These cuts will remove student choice, wreak havoc on careers, and end specialist teaching and research. Our statement: bit.ly/3zO2nAF #twitterstorians 1/5 🧵⬇️

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future. wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

Antony Antoniou, Reform UK parliamentary candidate for Northampton North • In 2019, Mr Antoniou allegedly shared an article on X, entitled, “The Masonic hatred against Christians, the Kalergi Plan and the New World Order”. The article includes references to Israel – the only Jewish State – as “racist” and also as “the capital of a global ‘Jewish’ government”. • In 2016, he allegedly shared a link to an article with speeches by Adolf Hitler. In the article, the author states: “Assume that this ‘Genocidal Madman’ could foresee the social warfare that Europe of today is being subjected to, consider that the very same group who are lying to us today, were lying to us then…maybe, just maybe, a more sinister course of events will become a very credible reality.” The so-called “Kalergi plan” is an increasingly popular variant of the far-right “White genocide” conspiracy theory which is specific to Europe. It asserts that the Austrian politician Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, who was an early exponent of European integration, devised a plan to replace the white population of Europe with non-white immigrants, which would be carried out with the assistance and for the benefit of supposed Jewish “elites” such as the Rothschild family.
