Research by Action to Protect Rural Scotland has claimed that if all 16 large data centres currently in ­planning went ahead, their energy use would be 1.5 times greater than peak winter demand for the whole of Scotland.

This is insane.

Our UCU Scotland president, vice president + officials had a first meeting since the election with Tertiary Education Minister Ben Macpherson. We left him in no doubt of the challenges facing staff and students in the current crisis in the university sector #SaveHE #StopTheCuts

Glasgow Caledonian University begin strike over job cuts | Herald Scotland https://t.co/azXdz03qOe

[UCU @ucu]

GCU staff are on the picket line this morning. Fighting for jobs.

[UCU @ucu]

[UCU Scotland @UCUScotland]

Solid pickets and great turnout @GCU_UCU strike to defend 100 jobs and say no to compulsory redundancies. Hearing from branch president Karen Lorimer that university has no deficit and cuts are a choice not a necessity #StopTheCuts #SaveHE #SaveTheGCU100

Glasgow Caledonian University begin strike over job cuts. The University and College Union argues Glasgow Caledonian is not actually currently in deficit - the gap is projected - and that compulsory redundancies should be ruled out. https://t.co/NpWeScZg2e

@DrJoGrady and https://t.co/5jenjct2xW have written to Keir Starmer demanding emergency intervention as 15,000 jobs are lost across higher education and 2,700 staff face the axe at Nottingham alone.

When British Steel was at risk, the government nationalised it overnight. Where's that urgency now?
