    If you have ever wondered whether the stories about @Twitter deleting likes are true, try liking the tweet below. On iOS you will see the like being immediately removed. On the web it will appear to persist, but refresh and you will see it has been deleted.

    Dress however you please. Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill

    Oxford University is now trying to impose masks on students - but not staff - in all teaching sessions, including tutorials, unless exempt. So this is just to remind all students that they can declare themselves exempt at any time and do not have to give a reason for this.

    So now we have seen pictures that appear to show @BorisJohnson in a meeting indoors without masks or distancing, @MattHancock taking *off* his mask as he *enters* Downing Street, and @Keir_Starmer at a party indoors. And yet my first years aren’t allowed in person teaching.

    “It is exceptionally rare for MPs to back a legal challenge against their own Government, and the move will ramp up pressure on ministers to axe the policy.” Well done @UsforThemUK telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/…
