This is a really important issue. The gap between 40 hours a week at the minimum wage and starting to pay tax at the higher rate is now merely £20,000. The minimum wage continually goes up. The higher-rate tax threshold stays the same. You end up with 10 million people all earning not quite enough money. John Oxley: Low wages may be rising but wage compression is the problem everyone ignores conservativehome.com/2026/10… via @conhome – at Winthrop, MA

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: “At first, I thought it was a joke - fancy dress. But this is everyday attire. His prosthetic boobs are enormous, exaggerated and cartoonish.” I spoke to Oxford lecturers and a former student about their experiences of Matt Rattley - the bearded lecturer who wears prosthetic breasts to work and posts pictures on LinkedIn. They described their discomfort, concerns about sexual harassment and fear of making a formal complaint. I also obtained three separate written complaints to St Hilda’s, including one from a parent and a joint letter from three former students. One signatory, leading clinical psychologist Dr Lucy Johnstone, told The Mail on Sunday: “As a psychologist who has worked with women clients for many years, I do know that in all forms of harassment and abuse, you see denial by the perpetrator, silencing of the victims, and often collusion by institutions.” The piece also includes comment from @LoudBonnet - the barrister who has represented Sandie Peggie. My latest investigation with Nick Pyke: Read below 👇 _________ P.S. My inbox remains open: [email protected]. All messages treated in confidence.

Is he still at it?
Bearded Oxford lecturer with prosthetic breasts sparks complaints St Hilda’s College at Oxford University has been accused of neglecting the welfare of female students by allowing male biochemistry lecturer Matt Rattley to teach while wearing large prosthetic breasts. The bearded lecturer allegedly often posts pictures of himself at work in low cut tops with red lipstick and nail varnish. The college has cited the need to protect and promote freedom of expression. One complainant described his behaviour as egregious and argued it constitutes sexual harassment. Professor Michael Biggs said students could find it degrading or humiliating. Rattley has been employed at the college since October 2023. More in comments
