My employer has initiated redundancy proceedings. It proposes to axe up to 70 roles (including both academic and professional services roles). I'd like to urge any colleagues on here to vote in both EIS ballots (the local and sector wide ballots). Vote early and vote for strikes. #eis

Worrying scenes in Falkirk today. Egged on by the far right, a few hundred people turned up to protest against a so-called "migrant hotel". We joined the residents of Falkirk, fellow trade unionists and anti-racists in saying "refugees are welcome here." #FalkirkAgainstRacism #StandUpToRacism

According to this armed officer in Kent, simply holding a Palestine flag and displaying 'Free Gaza' and 'Israel is committing Genocide' is possible grounds for arrest for supporting Palestine Action (and for unlawfully taking personal details)

Vice-chancellors are addicted to year-on-year cycles of redundancies. But you cannot cut your way to growth. Universities must listen to UCU, invest in staff & build student provision. If they refuse, they pave the way for significant industrial unrest.
