So that's the end of 'just-in-time' manufacturing and the death knell for the car/plane industry in all those traditional Labour areas the Tories just won seats in. As predicted, all the Tories care about is deregulating their chums in the city. #r4today

Also the end for UK pharmaceutical industry. Even Switzerland understands it has to align with EU regulations to maintain a thriving, and very lucrative pharma sector.
And as for UK farmers who rely on EU exports, like our lamb industry, I fear they just become completely uneconomic as tariffs are imposed on our deregulated industry, destroying traditional rural ways of life and patterns of landscape management.
Switzerland is quite a sensible model for the UK. But they are quite integrated into EU regulations in order to access key EU trade & achieve strategic goals like scientific collaboration, whilst also maintaining the freedom to have their own trade deals.

The inevitable backlash about Strumia's pro-male Physics lecture has begun, with a few mostly privileged males insisting he spoke 'the truth' and demanding women disprove his claims. Well those women are too busy doing great science so this thread aims to help. #womeninSTEM
1. Claiming 'the history of physics is male' is meaningless and proves nothing. For much of the history of physics most universities refused to educate women. What chance dud they have??
2. Presenting data on the woman who beat you to a job (sample size, N=1) as evidence of discrimination against men is nonsense as science. Further, the only metric used is how many times she (and he) was cited - in no way a good measure of the talent/ideas of a young researcher.

Nigel Farage now speaking at a Brexit Party rally in Hull. He says: ‘In traditional Labour areas there is no love and no enthusiasm for Jeremy Corbyn whatsoever. That gives us a phenomenal opportunity in parts of the country like this.’
Farage says BXP candidates are coming under 'relentless phone calls, emails and abuse' to stand down. 'There’s a full scale attempt to stop men and women freely putting themselves up before the UK electorate. You would’ve thought this was Venezuela. A complete & utter disgrace.'
Farage: 'The odds are there will be a small Conservative majority, just because Labour are in so much trouble everywhere.'

#Tories Election Cock-Up Chaos so far - a continuing series :

01 - #Tories admit and apologise for a doctored, misrepresentative video of Kier Starmer. Tory MPs like @JohnnyMercerUK leave it on their feed and actively continue to spread.

03 - #Tories MP Jacob Rees Mogg blames #Grenfell victims for their own deaths. It takes him four days before he's forced to retract and apologise.

Really glad to see the Corbynistas taking the announcement of the @EHRC investigation into #LabourAntisemitism in such good grace..... Oh.
Because there's no Jew-hate in the Labour Party.

Oh.
Exoneration is just around the corner.

Oh.

EUROPEAN ELECTION PREVIEW THREAD

So here we are a day from finding out the results of an election that should not be happening. It will be a strange election which will make it a lot of fun.
the Brexit Party and Lib Dems will do well, Lab and the Tories will do terribly, possibly historically so.(In the Tories case, definitely historically so)
The results will be about momentum going into the next phase of Brexit. There will be enough in them for both sides of the EU argument to claim things are going in their direction regardless of if it is true or not.

1) Electrical grid under attack?

You are watching a movie.
Let’s sit down and break it down.
This and other hypotheses and events.

It’s coffee time.
December 29, 2018.
2) There will be some intermittent pauses as I get set up and also research stuff.
3) If there is a silent civil war going on right now, the war has gone hot.

So my goal this morning is to pause and describe how we got here.

Observations, experiences, hypotheses + recent research.

To arrive at an educated guess as to what's next.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
