Perfect time to teach myself Old English; how else am I going to purchase food in Brexit Britain?

Last night, 315 MPs voted to sack strikers. At the next general election, vote to sack them.

Life is different if you don’t depend on our NHS or state schools. If you don’t need to travel by train or bus to get to work. If you swish through airports in private lounges. If you’ve never worried about losing your job, or paying the rent. Their Britain isn’t broken. Ours is.

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

Tories:
The NHS is collapsing. But who cares?: I have health insurance.
The schools are close to bankruptcy. But who cares?: my kids go private.
The rivers are full of shit. But who cares?: I have a swimming pool.

Just saw my postie, a lovely person & union rep. He said they were so sorry for letting people down with the strikes. As if!
These brilliant people, NHS staff and public transport workers served ALL OF US during the pandemic.
The least we can do is show our support to them now.

I know it’s a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a family member who may have received one of these badges?
This was found in the river in Durham city centre!
I’m trying to uncover which factories were issued these around that area too?

#ucuRISING #UCUstrike

Here's why I'm striking.

Whilst I was studying for my PhD I had to take on some teaching work to pay the bills. I couldn't afford to rent a flat or even a hotel on what I was paid. So for 2 years I slept on the library floor every night before lectures

Matt Hancock isn’t a ‘celebrity’, he’s the former health secretary who oversaw the UK having one of the highest death tolls in the world from Covid-19 whilst breaking his own lockdown rules.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

The Home Secretary was forced to resign less than 1wk ago for Ministerial Code breach/security lapse - and still lots of unanswered Qs on breach.

Yet Rishi Sunak reappointed her.

How on earth is this the “integrity & professionalism” he promised just five hours before?

The BBC have accidentally broadcast the word c*nt in a week, unbelievable scenes Jeff.
