Thanks a million to my colleagues in Belfast who are STILL dragging themselves to the picket line. At least you’ve been rewarded with tea on a tray. How civilised! You are amazing !!! @ou_Ireland_ucu @Elaine2Tweet @oubucu #UCUstrike

This afternoon I have submitted a request to the speakers office in Stormont for the UCU strike to be considered for "matter of the day".

Hopefully this is selected and will allow people the chance to indicate their support for our UCU strikers.

A great way to keep warm as our colleague Ximena leads the @oubucu picket line at the Belfast office in some cool Latin dance moves.

Moira Before and After: would you walk or cycle the mile from the Village rather than take the car if Moira had this safe route? Would you be more likely to allow your kids to walk or cycle to the train if we had this? @lisburnccc
