With @HeyRayGriffin, questioning why penalties for 'failing to engage' with welfare services were doubled?
This policy is already questionable, and doubling the penalty looks like a political stunt.

We launched a report on Women's Experiences of the Cost of Living Crisis in June 2023. It included the voices of 250 women across all communities, including unionist communities. Not one politician turned up to hear the voices of these women: pure.ulster.ac.uk/en/publica…

academic friends: looking for stuff on astrology? obviously interested in critical theory/ideology critique (Adorno, Barthes) and history/philosophy of science (Kuhn), but more interested in anyone looking at contemporary culture and politics as involving astrological thinking...

Just think about all that lovely real estate going cheap to debt financed private sector investment vehicles.
Education Minister Jacqui Smith is asked by @cathynewman if she is "willing to see a university go bust" because of "massive funding problems".

More crazy figures about energy and data centre growth in Ireland.
A just transition in Ireland requires a transition away from dependency on tech-led foreign direct investment. Without that, the Government position will continue to be: build more wind and solar farms.
The growth in clean electricity in Ireland last year was entirely “eaten up” by new data centre demand over the same period, cancelling out any emissions reduction impact, the Business Post can reveal. businesspost.ie/news/reveale…
