I am married with a young daughter, both myself and my husband work.

-We are not entitled to housing benefit, or any other benefit for that matter.

-We do not get free eye tests, free dental care or free prescriptions.

-Our daughter is not entitled to free school meals, or free breakfast clubs, or free wrap around care, no help with her uniform.

-We don’t get council tax discount, or any other discount.

-We don’t get help with our energy bills, or low cost broadband.

-We don’t get help with the cost of going to the cinema, or days out at theme parks.

-My daughter is unable to play outside unsupervised, because you have failed to secure our borders and the streets aren’t safe.

-If I work more hours, I fall into the higher tax band.

Why should someone like me, vote for someone like you? @UKLabour @andyburnham

What are you offering my family?

@HistorianBlood @becimay Published annual accounts?

[Ian Hamley @HamleyIan]

@AstroMikeMerri Mixture of total disbelief and anger. It’s beyond comprehension.

EXCLUSIVE: De Montfort University could sell off multiple sites as bosses warn of 'severe financial pressures' https://t.co/oRVBebVqUt

@AstroMikeMerri Literally speechless. 😶

[Ian Hamley @HamleyIan]

@AstroMikeMerri Thanks @AstroMikeMerri. My GCSE maths doesn’t have to work too hard to see the impact of that on the health of the balance sheet. Lost for words. 😢

The CC would need to be convinced the trustees (ie Council) acted unreasonably for them to be personally responsible and compensate the charity according to this.

@AstroMikeMerri VC at the time and Chair of Council.

The journalists are catching up on the absurdity of the use of the overreliance on external consultants in #UKHE!

Would be good to have a look across the sector, as it's millions and millions and millions going from public good to for-profit businesses. To destroy universities.

[Ian Hamley @HamleyIan]

@BhamCityCouncil Nope. Another no show in B76!

@BrumLeader You could improve community spaces immediately by getting the bin crisis sorted out.

[People are pickles @bablefish_21mil]

@BhamCityCouncil Any chance of recycling bins being collected this year ? Serious question.

[Ian Hamley @HamleyIan]

@BhamCityCouncil Can residents who pay your wages ask you to think twice about charging residents to park in Sutton Park given the consultation was very very clear?

[Ian Hamley @HamleyIan]

@BhamCityCouncil It’s bin bingo time as usual with @BhamCityCouncil

University of Birmingham reprimanded over work related stress by @H_S_E

One down, 141 Universities to go

Staff well-being has been sidelined for too long

Those who speak out have been victimized

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

A failure to adequately manage work-related stress at the University of Birmingham breached health and safety regulations, according to a watchdog. @JulietteRowsell reports

[UCU @ucu]

A much needed wake-up call for the University of Birmingham.

The HSE has confirmed what staff have said for years: excessive workloads and chronic stress are systemic and causing real harm.

Now we need real change not just box-ticking.
