@jaystar22613 @MicrosoftTeams We're having issues accessing a team. We're a group of people at universities in the UK and US trying to access a seminar group but most people are not being granted access. Is there an issue? Thanks

"The right of the labour movement, to be honest, has no ideas of any compelling quality, except the instinct for short-term political survival. (...) The only ‘struggle’ it engages in with any trace of conviction is the one against the left."

The UK government need to do this immediately 👇👇

The Irish Government have stopped any data sharing between healthcare services and government departments. That means undocumented migrants can get the vital support they need without fear of detention or deportation #Covid_19

These two women are a bona fide inspiration!

Coronavirus is spreading fastest in London esp on public transport. We need gov’t controls on movement NOW to ensure safe travel for health workers & slow the spread

Social distancing? This morning's commute on the Victoria line. Perhaps some clearer guidance from the government would help @BBCWorld @mrjamesob @guardian
