Hundreds gathered outside the Scottish Parliament today. UCU general secretary Jo Grady brought solidarity to striking staff at Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow Caledonian. We stand with you. ✊

Excellent result from Bournemouth and Poole College on their new workload agreement! Reduction of contact hours to 828 from 964, capped weekly teaching hours, protected planning and marking time and full xmas closure without using annual leave 🙌 Well done to the negotiators

Oooh suddenly the DfE have found several million quid down the back of the couch! It's welcome news for schools (except that the first 1% is coming out of their budgets) and for FE colleges however we can't keep surviving on little injections of cash here and there. We need national bargaining.

Sarah Pochin's tone deaf message for the England Men's World Cup squad 🤦‍♀️ Reform UK - protecting women and girls by begging a sportsball team to keep winning instead of holding perpetrators accountable.

Email your MP. I don't currently have one, hence the local circus in Makerfield but sharing this for those who do. This "guidance" on single sex spaces is ghoulish and unworkable.

It's petty, but watching Sarah Wakefield making Rob Kenyon squirm on Question Time asking him to apologize to Carol Vorderman made my week. I could practically hear the eye rolls of the women in the audience when he said "I'm not sexist, I've got a mum and a sister" 🤮

People who don't work in the sector can't wrap their heads around how much time is actually spent in the classroom Vs the mountain of tasks outside of it, and often at home during evenings, weekends and holidays. Sacrificing family time to get work finished is incredibly common and unsustainable.

Suzi Toole @suzitoole.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

Real FE teachers discussing their lived experiences. Much of the job is not actually teaching, it's the admin, the tracking, the prep, the marking, the pastoral care, the endless meetings and online training modules. No wonder they're burnt out. Workloads are not working. #UCU #FE #Workloads

New section of the UCU website dedicated to the Workload's not working campaign. Keep up to date with the campaign as it progresses and is rolled out more widely. This week, members in the first cohort of training are taking place in a week of action at their branches www.ucu.org.uk/article/1453...

Section 28 all over again by stealth 🤮 People said this would happen and naysayers replied dismissively "you're overreacting". This is the tip of the iceberg. Women's rights will be next.

Suzi Toole @suzitoole.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

Totally agree with the academic boycott of University of Sheffield. Despite healthy finances they are proceeding with restructures and punitive double deductions to striking members who have refused to reschedule teaching (disruption is the point of a strike 🙄). Shameful behaviour from management!

As part of the FE Workloads are Not Working week of action we weld a lunch event in the boardroom.. encouraged staff to get away from the desks, take their full unpaid break. Played a game of Workload bingo. Lovely to have the Principal on board to support as well. #UCU #FE #WorkloadsNotWorking

Regrettably I did not participate in the dancing. I have absolutely no culture to offer in this regard. I am however, exceptionally proud of the inclusive diverse community we have built at Bolton College and I'll thank you to keep our name out of your putrid hate spewing mouth.

I thoroughly enjoyed the music and world food, we had fish and chips on offer too, Yaxley, but you didn't show that bit did you? Nor the British values display, nor the kids walking around draped in British and Irish flags?

Found out today that malignant hemorrhoid Tommy Ten Names was using Bolton College's culture day to stir up hate on twitter 🤮 I think he's jealous he can't dance as well as our students.

Apparently so, but "didn't breach the ministerial code" Hmmm. He's reasonably popular with many locals after tackling flooding in Abram and Platt Bridge a couple of years ago and more recently the massive illegal Bickershaw dump. Might be a gamble Burnham going for this seat, Reform is popular too 🫤
