@Prolapsarian Increasing proportions of postal votes are doing odd things to how counts work, especially if they do pre-10pm processing, apparently

[Caitlin Webb (she/her) @WriterCaits]

@CllrMajid @natalieben @Peterrhwood said in his research residents didn't know their councils were "skint" and that understanding helped them realise how hard the choices their councils make.
The rest of the panel shared their call for better communication to help net zero aims.

@m_ttpa I thought the joke persona was to disguise his actual role as fixer, so he & office came across as a clearing house not an empire builder.

The scale of cuts/closures in UK Unis should be national talking point. Key local economic anchor institutions, & a major export industry, are collapsing because of government regulation (& its ideological hostility to the maintenance of national culture).

Went through my Favourites on TikTok the other day and stumbled across this again

[Vicky Blake UCU @vickyblake.bsky.social @zenscara]

Organising in outsourced workplaces in UK HE brings many challenges but we need to celebrate *and learn from* recognition milestones and branch wins: recent @UcuUsic dispute wins remind us that really solid ground-up organising works.

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

I'm endorsing Vicky Blake for General Secretary, because she's the person most able to do the job. I've co-chaired national committee's with her, I've followed in her footsteps fighting casualisation; she can bring our union together for good

We should not forget that both Vicky Blake (@zenscara)👇& @DrJoGrady made the right call in the crucial vote over @USSpensions, whereas Saira Weiner & Ewan McGaughey got it wrong. 🧵on what this reveals about the GS candidates. 1/

Come to @ucu Annual meeting for Casualised staff on Sat 24th Feb! Always a great event+just 1 week left to register!

Unfortunately @DrJoGrady stole our @UCUAnti_Cas account. This makes it hard to promote stuff.😰

Can you please help us spread the word?
