This World Cup has disrupted the Premier League for far too long. Looking forward to football between well coached teams, mediated by officials who are mostly more competent than those recruited by FIFA.

More than six years after the referendum, I am still being told why I voted Leave by people who voted Remain.

This is the question that 1 in 3 of the UK's best maths students got right. How will you get on?

We recently opened a call for evidence to hear from women about their experiences of health and care.
Watch @DrSarahJarvis and @MattHancock discuss why it is important for people to share their views.

Back-of-envelope. If 5 events *were* caused by AZ vaccine, expect 1 event in 2 mil jabs. If 2 mil people in 50s put off their jab by 1 week, expect ~2,000 to get infected, 20-30 seriously ill, 5 to die. So benefit/risk ratio high even for *1* week. But risk goes on in unjabbed!
This is dreadful. David and I, and loads of other young mathematicians , learned our trade in the Lamb and Flag. We listened to Conway there. Save the Flag!
Very sad about this news: I learned much of my maths in that pub bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ox…

Here is our obituary for our 2015-16 President Dr Peter Neumann OBE who sadly passed away on 18th December. m-a.org.uk/news/?id=303
Now fixed after 4 days battling with customer then tech support.
Bug meant I could not change a forgotten password. Trivial, but it took 4 days. Lots of bots and then tech folk who didn't understand. Finally one did. Thanks.
Hello @GeoffBath, sorry to hear of the issues you have faced. Can you elaborate on what these issues are? ^Rfe
Virgin Media support: is there a worse support service for any organization? After 3 days battle I get past the Customer Service bots to tech support who might be people. They don't fix the problem, and give advice which is impossible to implement. Over automation #virginmedia
