[UK HE News @HigherEd_UK]

Without immediate intervention, the UK HE collapse will cascade uncontrollably beyond humanities to all subjects within post 92s and then far beyond post 92s. The Government is happy to see this happen. VCs are indifferent -- they already cashed in, now ready to cash out.

Insightful

Our reply to @michelledonelan's letter to @UKRI_News. This risks creating a chilling effect on freedom of speech and academic freedom

[ASLEF @ASLEFunion]

Solidarity with all of our members on picket lines up and down the country today taking a stand for fair pay.

They want to know where the transport secretary is and why he’s not working to resolve the dispute.

[NHS Nurses @SocialistNHS]

We are 3 registered nurses trying to stop the Tory destruction of the NHS

CONFIRMED: @QMUL management covered up disastrous staff survey results for months to protect themselves – apparently to protect themselves from the boogeymen that are ... QMUL workers...👻

OCCUPATION UPDATE: This morning more boards were being put up outside Pavillion Parade. We are becoming increasingly worried about the safety and wellbeing of our occupiers. Come down to Pavillion Parade today at 5pm to show your support✊

University academic & technical staff also urgently need pay restoration. Academia needs to be an inclusive, sustainable career, or we won't have anyone to teach future doctors and educators.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

Extraordinary to hear Steve Barclay on @BBCr4today this morning, arguing that doctors cannot be offered a fair pay deal to make up for the huge depreciation in wages over previous decades - because teachers are paid so little.
We should pay teachers more too!
Why should these key workers in the public sector be penalised and exploited for not choosing to work in the private sector?

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

We can now announce that for the first time, junior doctors and consultants will be taking joint strike action in England.

Here are the dates for September and October #DoctorsStrike

[James Sumner @JamesBSumner]

And – this is the thing – eventually they were no longer able to hide it.

Most of us have no idea about pension rules, but there are enough experts in @ucu that by 2018, every devious action was routinely explained and dissected on social media. And yet they carried on, and on.
