"Where is the framework for a person who has been trafficked into the UK, including here in Scotland, who can't, under this Illegal Migration Bill, access their rights?"

This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker #ImWithGary #MOTD #ToryFascists

On Friday I confronted Suella Braverman's use of hateful language. She refused to apologise. We must always challenge the language of hate. The Home Office demanded the video be taken town. They seem not to realise we are still a democracy.

With ⁦@XRBrighton⁩ at #Brighton beach to protest routine dumping of raw sewage into seas & waterways by privatised companies that put profit before people & planet. Southern Water’s not the only criminal - Govt just rolled back targets for cleanup #CutTheCrap #DirtyWater

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

MPs just voted on a motion to remove private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break.

That could pay for free school meals for *all* primary school pupils almost twice over.

But Tory MPs voted it down, choosing to protect elite private schools, not improve opportunities for all kids.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

The public aren't fools, @SteveBarclay.

How dare you accuse unions of "taking a conscious choice to inflict harm on patients" while ignoring the daily, lethal consequences of the NHS crisis you've engineered?

This is pure hypocrisy.

Paramedics & nurses deserve a living wage.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Nurses are under attack. The government have decided they will take them on and break them if needed

They are the same people who kept this nation going through the pandemic

They are the backbone of society

RT if you stand right behind them and will back them whatever it takes

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

For every 25 patients, substituting 1 nurse with a non-nurse increases mortality by 21% on an average ward #NursesStrike

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.

Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.

Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

[CWU @CWUnews]

From tomorrow 115,000 postal workers take their 15th and 16th days strike.

Royal Mail are making no genuine attempt to resolve the dispute and want to starve people back to work, destroy their terms and conditions and rip up a 500 year old service.

RT if you back your postie

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS.

The Education Secretary admitting that Universities are awash with cash and could afford to settle our disputes - but they choose not to.

Share if you will strike, protest and rally until they do.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Extraordinary interview where the Secretary of State for education essentially confirms that universities have more than enough money to pay their staff, and that we should look at their accounts to see where the money is going…

We agree👏

A passionate James O'Brien completely dismantles Rishi Sunak's last-ditch attempt to portray striking key workers as your enemy.

There’s been an increase of Strep A Infections in the UK, here’s what it looks like on darker skin.

And we are so grateful that so many graduating students chose to wear #ucuRISING solidarity sashes. They will go far! ✊✊✊🎓🎓🎓#EdinburghGrad #EdinburghImpact

[Dr Claire Duncanson @cpduncanson]

Staff at @EdinburghUni are passionate about students’ education and successes but we’re not here @uoessps #EdinburghGrad ceremony today because we’re also passionate about fair pay, decent working conditions and security in retirement #ucuRISING #UCUstrike @ucuedinburgh

NEW: The #USS pension scheme, at the centre of an industrial disupte involving thousands of higher education sector workers, showed a £5.6bn surplus at the end of August, according to the latest scheme monitoring update.

[Calum Baird 🕊️ @CalumBairdSongs]

An associate and I are due £1000 from @EdinburghUni for work we completed in **AUGUST**. Invoices sent, ignored. Emails asking where the payment is, ghosted. A fairly lawless institution, it appears. Little wonder staff and lecturers are on strike.
