@cprazevedo Reminder of the general statement of the @OralHistorySoc

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Sarah Wakefield (the Greens candidate in Makerfield): "The fundamental problem we have.. is that we're building on 40yrs of deindustrialisation topped off by 15yrs of austerity.. we're all feeling it.. we should be looking at the massive inequality in this country.."

[The National @ScotNational]

A new poll of Labour Party members shows an overwhelming majority back a ban on UK arms exports to Israel and trade with illegal settlements in the West Bank https://t.co/RbaL0L2TPO

@JaneColes57 No crossing picket lines.

[Graham Smith @GrahamSmith4]

As if cutting jobs isn't a crisis. The lack of awareness of how we reached this point by senior managers is a deliberate hope that the rest of us will not notice their role in that crisis. The continuous strategy to make everyone else pay will not address their disaster.

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

The v-c of Goldsmiths, University of London, has accused his local union branch of “not facing up to the harsh financial realities” that the institution faces as its members begin an indefinite strike, warning that the university will be “severely threatened by August 2027” without cuts.

[UCU @ucu]

Back on the picket lines at Glasgow Caledonian University today.

Staff, students, and the picket pups are standing together to save 100 jobs.

Cuts are a choice. Solidarity is too. ✊

[21group @21percentgroup]

A vanity project turned into a money pit at Nottingham University

Staff pay the price

Those at the top? CBEs, not consequences. Those who didn't understand "listed building" status have moved upward

This tells you everything about UK Higher Education

Solidarity with striking UCU colleagues today at Glasgow Caledonian University. SAVE THE 100! Stop the cuts #GCU

[Dr Nick McKerrell @DrNikLaw]

Busy picket at Glasgow Caledonian University. Solidarity with the UCU strikers. SAVE THE 100! #GCU

[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

[UCU @ucu]

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

There is no deficit. GCU runs surpluses and holds cash reserves. These cuts are a choice.

[Graham Smith @GrahamSmith4]

Anything to add @ChiOnwurah ?

[Edward Gibbon @EdwardEGibbon]

In 2022/3, the undergraduate subject area with the highest unemployment rate was Computing, followed by Maths, Law, and Business and Management.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a UK pundit say that people should think twice about a Computing degree.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

At Goldsmiths, we go on indefinite strike from June 8.

[University of Nottingham UCU branch @UoNUCU]

Fighting not only for our jobs but the future of education and thus the country.

Your fight is our fight, and our fight yours.

Together we will win this and save our universities.

#solidarity

[UCUHallam @UCUHallam]

UCU Hallam are serious about negotiating over 130 proposed job losses, including redundancies and the systematic erosion of our members' terms & conditions. The university is not serious about working with us or delivering high quality education. #SaveSheffieldHallam #UCU

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.
