Barkitecture, Pawlitical Sciences, Furensic Pawthology 🐾 The Class of 2024 really have done it all.

We know that pets reduce anxiety, so these four-legged friends play a huge role in helping our graduates go on to change the world for the better.

Let's give them a round of a-paws for helping their humans all throughout their time at Queen's!

Hope the Conservatives print their manifesto soon - my litter tray is in desperate need of some new lining...

[Larry the Cat @Number10cat]

Lots of people asking me where I was when Sunak announced the election. I was inside, because it was raining. Only an idiot would have gone out in that... #GeneralElection

Without trade unions we wouldn't have:

• Sick pay
• A two day weekend
• Maternity leave
• Protection from workplace discrimination
• 8 hour working days
• Redundancy pay
• A minimum wage
• Health and safety in the workplace
• Workplace pensions

People tend to think of classics as being “boring,” but we wouldn’t keep reading them for hundreds of years if we didn’t love them.

Let me introduce you to some FUN classics:

Today is a victory for workers.

This win belongs to the workers, unions, and advocates from across the province who stood firm against the Conservatives’ unconstitutional attack on their rights.

I'm very pleased to announce that a special edition of the Journal of Military and Strategic Studies – edited by yours truly – is now out!

The National Trust is the second most trusted institution in the country; your party is the *least* trusted institution.

If tube strikes went ahead, they would cost the economy £100m a day. They were prevented at the cost of £30m.

The Treasury also spent over £1.5bn on the rail dispute with @RMTunion. It would have cost a fraction of that to settle early on.

Failure to negotiate is costly.

No, Gillian. Universities are being let down by your government and the people you allow to run the sector.

And a Tory minister talking about minimum service levels. You’ve got some front.

UCU members - vote yes.

The public - vote the Tories out.

I remember when I moved to London I couldn’t open an account at Lloyd’s in Crouch End because they didn’t accept the Irish passport as valid ID. I didn’t go on Newsnight to complain; I just went next door to Barclays. Nigel is such a drama Queen.

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 75 years followed and retweeted we’d reach a million by midnight.

Please take just two seconds to show you care.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Today we should be celebrating the 75th year of arguably the finest ever British institution.

But all we can think about is the damage and destruction that the Conservatives have done for over a decade.

NHS staff and patients deserve so much better than them.
