For the life of me I cannot comprehend a 🇬🇧 Govt policy that actively threatens women’s own protection teams in countries coming back from brink #sdg5 & from which 🇬🇧 learns

As a Fellow of @news_RSE I am proud the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland’s National Academy, has made this clear statement of condemnation of the #odacuts #ukricuts #gcrfcuts

It their statement @news_RSE link to this condemnation and call for reversal from @royalsociety royalsociety.org/news/2021/03/r…

I have seen so many statements in draft this week including from scholars so next week will see more pressure as full implications of horrifying consequences of the attack on 🇬🇧 own post Covid economic recovery becomes clear

It’s #WorldTheatreDay so here’s our @UofGUnescoRILA article from 2 years ago from a #gcrf project. The way this boosted local tourism, sign language, youth participation & well - just joy @UofGEducation @UofGlasgow thenational.scot/news/17600767.… @Tawona_Sithole #ukricuts @chipawozim

Statement from @RoyalSocBio sharing dismay and incredulity at such a short sighted and clearly harmful decision to 🇬🇧 research and Global Britain, let alone to international@scientific partnerships #odacuts #ukricuts #gcrfcuts rsb.org.uk/images/News-St…

Embarrassing 🙈 Unrolled thread here from @marakat - “to see 🇬🇧 ourselves as others see us!” on #ukricuts #odacuts #gcrfcuts

And yet more examples of good research and good work doing what was commissioned with 🇬🇧 Govt funds and now on a cliff edge #ukricuts #odacuts #gcrfcuts

This story is not going away. Thousands of people affected like this & it is a national embarrassment “My reaction was one of bitter disappointment, grief and disbelief that Britain could do something this brutal,” #ukricuts #odacuts #gcrfcuts

amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…

Financial Times ‘shakes head in disbelief’ as it too tries to work out what, if anything, is left of Global Britain and 🇬🇧’world leading research’
