[Mikaela Loach - It’s Not That Radical 📖🇵🇸 @mikaelaloach]

PLEASE SHARE I got removed from Shell’s AGM for simply telling their shareholders the truth about Shell’s destruction of the health and lives of people in the Niger Delta in Nigeria (where the life expectancy is only 41 years of age because of Shell’s extraction there) (1/2)

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

They’ve stoked a culture war in our Universities.

They’ve stood by as College lecturers earn £9k less than teachers.

They’ve decimated continuing education.

They’ve voted for anti-union laws that have denied trade unionists the right to strike.

July 4th. Get the Tories out.

@APSAtweets Don't you dare use marginalised people as your excuse for crossing the picket! It's a serious insult to the injury you're causing the many marginalised people who are striking and you should be ashamed. The APSA had a chance to live it's values and you've failed miserably.

@nxcare If only one can get through to them! I've been on hold for ages with no response.. Where's the 8.05 (Service 201) from Heathrow T5 to Bristol?!! We're stranded here with no information on the status of the coach, rebooking options etc. Get in touch right away please.

@nxcare where's the 8.05 (Service 201) from Heathrow T5 to Bristol?!! Several of us are stranded over here with no one to talk to regarding the status of the coach, rebooking options etc. Let me know asap. Not impressed 😡😡

@MarronageModern @BeyondSlavery @CNNAfrica @AJEnglish, the @IJM response to this scandal slyly overlooks the fuel, money & logistics given to police for raids. Not a mere observer as it seeks to portray itself. It instigates the raids, funds it and calls the shots in the field.

@MarronageModern @BeyondSlavery Will the real survivors please stand up. Ghanaian survivors of anti-trafficking finally heard. @IJM rescue accounts conveniently omit the brutality visited on families and communities. Revelations in @BBCAfrica film are just the tip of the iceberg

@MarronageModern @Sam_Okyere_ Brilliant work from @Sam_Okyere_ I remember you telling me about this when we met Sam and discussing similar devastating impact on sex workers throughout south East Asia of any “modern slavery rescue” missions. On my playlist to watch & so pleased to see your contribution
