Just submitted a response to the government's consultation on conversion therapy.

Whilst it makes progress, there are still some absolutely massive loopholes in place.

Conversion therapy is abominable, and should be a crime.

Yesterday, I signed my 53rd contract in 3 years 2 months at the same institution. Today I’m on strike @ucu @UCUAnti_Cas @LancasterUCU

In 2019, you asked us to improve our governance and democracy ⚡️

You wanted us to switch from appointing student trustees, to electing. To seeing cross-campus ratification of external trustees, and to make the democratic systems work with students not against 🙌

I would like to thank the Daily Mail for sending one of their readers to have a go at me in possibly the most poorly worded and spelled attempts at abuse I have ever received.

I look forward to vuturling todays snowffakes and learning to spell as bravely as this person

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@doodlesandchaos @_justsarahp It's not me saying that - it's the governance that says that. And to change the governance, you need to approve the changes.

I'm sorry you don't like the changes. I hope that the information I've provided so far is useful though - and I hope I can convince you otherwise.

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@_justsarahp And no worries on wording - I totally get that!! My tweets are also a bit scuffed in a few places because of that 😅

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@_justsarahp I've missed the socialising so much! I think we wouldn't have half the issues we had now if we'd just been able to talk about it in the office. We'd just be better as a team. I'm already planning to pull everyone together asap, just remains to be seen when!

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@_justsarahp Any advice on how to repair that relationship would be valuable.

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@_justsarahp The LCOs have been given opportunities - not as many as I'd have liked though. And I couldn't give them advance sight of the final product either because of all the delays at a Board level.

It's those delays that I think have built up the mistrust.

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@_justsarahp It's also worth pointing out that by not changing model, we lose the ability to add a carer's PTO as well. Our current exec is already at full size! And that does need to be changed in the articles!

[Oliver Robinson @LUSUPres]

@_justsarahp Torpedoing the articles is not useful though, because the Directorate is held in the Byelaws alone.

By voting No, students lose the chance to have elected trustees, a Council model and a structre that sits a little closer to the membership!
