The UK Today: The Observer front page: "The Sound of Silence: More than 400 arrested at a peaceful protest in support of Palestine Action." Meanwhile the so called free speech advocates of the British right remain silent or support this new authoritarianism.
The Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired Anglican priest from Bristol, was among 20 people arrested in London today "on suspicion" of supporting Palestine Action.
Am I allowed to say she's a hero, or is that banned too?
She's a hero. Please share if you agree.
@cowenscorn@DefendourJuries Nobody expressed support for Hamas, only for the 80,000 Gazans killed and the hundreds of thousands facing famine because of the Israeli blockade. And the Brize Norton action could be prosecuted under existing laws on criminal damage etc. Proscription is unnecessary and wrong.
@bbcquestiontime Are the Twitter/X comments about BBC Question Time always as nasty and misogynistic as they were last week, or was it worse than usual because Richard Tice's appearance attracted a lot of Reform supporters?
A really important piece of research
Our members teach in the toughest of education environments

The most important thing is to have your say and vote 💪💜❤️ #Ucu
If you are in UCU, please read this article before voting in the HE consultation ballot on industrial action. Just for the record, I agree 100% with Jak: yet more strikes are unlikely to lead to an increased pay offer; let's put our efforts elsewhere.
Opinion: Avoiding layoffs is the issue of the hour. @ucu would do better to prioritise negotiations on pay-related issues such as workload, says Jak Peake

That's a wrap for #TUC24 🎉
We successfully passed motions on the perilous state of post 16 education and on how to reform the prison education system.

@OnlyDavidHunter
The judge who put away @RogerHallamCS21 for 5 years and four other @JustStop_Oil members for 4 years, at a time of massive and dangerous prison overcrowding, said climate breakdown is a "matter of opinion"! How come @DailyMailUK didn't include that in today's frontpage headline?
Read “Brief, depressing, update on UCU stuff“ by Dyfrig Jones on Medium: https://t.co/h9Jsk12bvt
A depressingly accurate description of the current state of UCU. Increasing participation of members is the answer but will, as always, be resisted by the SWP-led @UcuLeft faction.
@JewishMCR@HOME_mcr@MCRCityofLit I am a translator among other hats. I have translated the article in question and challenge @JewishMCR to produce the full text rather than selectively quote without context to misrepresent. Your silencing of Palestinian voices is complicity in our genocide.
@drrhianelinor Post-92s inherited the Natfe agreement and only represent academic staff while Unison represents PS staff. @UCUNUbranch cannot act for ARPS staff. They've had a fantastic success defending UCU members jobs and suggesting they may be backing down is rather unfair, don't you think?
@indigenousmanc@HOME_mcr Shame on @HOME_mcr for caving in to political bullying and fabricated antisemitism allegations against one of the speakers, and shame on @MENnewsdesk for spreading those allegations without investigating them first and without allowing the accused the right of reply.
Actually shameful behaviour from @HOME_mcr I’m embarrassed for you
Art is political, as is so much of the art you display/feature at what is a publicly funded Manchester multi arts centre
