Gary Lineker has said he is leaving Match of the Day because he felt the BBC wanted him to leave over his support for Palestine.

If you support Gary, like.
If you support Palestine, RT!

He should not be forced out for speaking the truth, even if the BBC don't want to hear it.

Plans to cut jobs that would affect as many as 700 staff members at the University of Dundee will have a “catastrophic” impact, trade union representatives have said. @Helen_Packer reports

Ministers now need to “dig deeper and provide that industrial scale bail out that the university needs to recover” says @ucu #SaveHE #StopTheCuts

'Catastrophic' Dundee University cuts would be 'vandalism' says ⁦@ucu⁩ #StopTheCuts #SaveHE | The Herald https://t.co/l1VGHsvoC1

Evidence that universities are forgetting who does the real work?

🚨A MUST WATCH🚨

“Incompetence at the very top of Dundee University”

@dundeeuni principal Shane O’Neill gets grilled for trying make over 600 staff pay the price for his mismanagement👇

[Cardiff Met UCU Met Caerdydd @UCUCardiffMet]

Interesting that senior managers think that “meeting with trade union colleagues” somehow equates to a joint project
The same TU colleagues they were deducting 50 to 100% salaries from during the MAB.
The same TU colleagues who are never mentioned during the ‘boom‘ times 🤔

[Strathclyde UCU @StrathclydeUCU]

Very good.

There is also a massive mess down at Dundee Uni that you need to clear up.

Wake up @GraemeDeyMSP

@DucuUo await your call.

🚨 Statement on Job Cuts at Dundee University from Mercedes Villalba MSP

“Tonight, my solidarity lies with all those workers who stand to be affected by today’s news. After all, there is no university without the staff who make it.”

[UCU @ucu]

"devastating"

Our @DundeeUCU members' response to the vicious cuts the university is trying to steamroll through👇

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Horrific failure of @dundeeuni leadership. They lost £30 million and nobody knows where. Where is the accountability?

Now they are demanding staff pay the price. This cannot be allowed to happen. Staff, students, and the city cannot suffer for their mistakes.

[Joe FitzPatrick SNP @JoeFitzSNP]

The level of job losses being suggested at Dundee University is simply unacceptable.

I'm seeking meetings with the unions, university, SFC and @scotgov on what more can be done to protect jobs.

Including whether more financial support is needed to avoid compulsory redundancies.

[UCU Scotland @UCUScotland]

UCU comment on the shocking news Dundee University cutting 632 jobs. Jo Grady: “This is a hammer-blow to hard working and committed workers at the university who are being made to pay the price for egregious management failure...” #SaveHE #StoptheCuts https://t.co/G1EfZ7BP51

Busy @DucuUo picket lines again on the 11th day of strikes at Dundee university. Hearing from @chondrogianni & @MaggieChapman #SaveHE #StoptheCuts https://t.co/iUr8RvwBP9

[UCU Scotland President @UCUSPresident]

Horrendous news at Dundee this lunchtime. 632 jobs to go on top of the 70 already at risk.Workers being asked yet again to pay with their livelihoods for the clear failures of management. Serious issues of governance and financial mismanagement. Devastating blow for the city.

[UCU Scotland @UCUScotland]

£6.40 is not enough to live on.
We believe every worker should receive a Real Living Wage and apprentices are workers too.
That's why we support @NUSScotland and @NSoApprentices' call for a Real Living Wage for apprentices.
