@RevolutApp I recently followed your process to invite a friend to join Revolut. They signed up and are using an account regularly. I have received nothing for doing this despite you advertising that a payment (up to £200) would be made. Is this just a scam?

Durham is facing a housing crisis. Residents & students are facing a shortage of affordable 🏠.

As a first step yday I wrote jointly with @durhamSU to 12 of the city’s estate agents about ludicrous scenes we’ve seen recently.

I meet VC of Uni today. Together we must solve this!

What is this now

Not had breakfast this morning? The University are providing free cereal and hot drinks for Durham students on L1 South of the Billy B. Available Mon-Fri 8am-9am, simply choose your breakfast, take a seat and relax! Ideal for the Livers Out among you 😊💜

[Simon John James @ProfSJJames]

Still fuming about that unbelievably stupid and irresponsible Times piece. Do you know where books ARE being taken off reading lists? Red states in the US. To Kill a Mockingbird, Maus, LGBT-inclusive texts - this is where censorship is happening, and it's coming from the Right.

And we’re off 🙌

My names Laura, my pronouns are she/they, and I’m you’re new Welfare and Liberation Officer at Durham SU 💜

I’ve been in the role for a week and a half now, and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work with staff and students within the role!

@BethBromley10 Love it, congratulations Beth!

[Sam Dale @SamDale84]

@maggidawn Take special care Maggi, that sounds like a really scary experience for you.

[Sam Dale @SamDale84]

Brilliant College and fab Principal. A great place to work!

@NicolaByrom @HUMENorg We were invited to buy a ''licensing package'' prior to the survey being published that would give advance notice of our ''position'' and the methodology for the survey (which you have helpfully commented upon!). We declined and came low down in the survey. Just saying.

[Brendan May @bmay]

Oh dear, from hero to zero for me. It was nice while it lasted.

[Sam Dale @SamDale84]

@RevdGavinWort @tremlett_andrew Ahhhh, great news for St Paul’s but we will miss his support and wisdom! Many congratulations @tremlett_andrew!

@ProfTomMole @vanmildert1965 @Van_Mildert Hi @ProfTomMole I was really saddened to hear this news. It’s heartening to read your post though. Under your leadership and with the energy and commitment of the VM student body I’m sure the boathouse will be renewed.

[Sam Dale @SamDale84]

@I_am_ElleG @JuneAngelides @amali_d @HammondSolape @durham_uni @I_am_ElleG there was no chance involved, you were, and always will be, brilliant! Your kind words mean so much coming after a punishing term. There's always a space back at Durham for you! Take care.

[Sam Dale @SamDale84]

Seun, you are a major asset to the SU and the University. No-one should be subject to the vile abuse you have received. I know you will be getting support from your colleagues and the SU but let us know if we can help. @DurhamSUpres

[Durham University @durham_uni]

We stand shoulder to shoulder with Seun Twins, @DurhamSUpres as we work together in trying to change culture.

Seun Twins is a success story. Durham University is proud of her leadership.

Personalised attacks, especially of the kind experienced today, are totally unacceptable.
