For lords-a-leaping and the 10th day of Christmas, what could be better than Dalziel's engravings of Blondin from 1862?

Have you seen Peter S Smith's @stanandgladys 'Dalziel's Apprentice', a mesmerising exploration of what it's like to work in an engraving factory? You can now view it on Woodpeckings! https://t.co/xyMbgXb8xB

Vice-chancellor of @Cambridge_Uni says #USS needs to retain the DB element, staff should be paid if they reschedule classes lost during strikes, Cambridge will not deduct pay for action short of a strike & he is frustrated by bargaining process https://t.co/tGKDq94V5z #USSstrike

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Today, university staff take their 13th day of strike action to defend their pensions. Our education staff deserve security in retirement. I urge @UniversitiesUK to return for fresh negotiations with @UCU to end this dispute and avoid further disruption to students.
