We explore some of the ways the State works with and on this largely private and local industry. Hopefully our analysis proves useful for thinking through the many more ways post #Covid_19 https://t.co/BsB8a3weIr #funerals #death #socialpolicy @steve_tombs @d_whyte100 @asds_death

I just asked the puppy to fetch and he's brought the tablet over to me ... #defendalljobs #FURthersolidarity #LivUniOpenDay

[William McGowan @Will_McGowan37]

See @LivUni, it's perfectly easy to understand, just listen to this guy: DEFEND. ALL. JOBS. That's the kind of uni he'd want to study at. Not one that rips its students off and mistreats its wonderful staff. #LivUniOpenDay #DefendAllJobs

The biggest and worst news humanity has ever received - the collapse of life on Earth - was revealed by the #IPBES report yesterday. Only two UK newspapers (Guardian and Independent) carried it on their front pages. As for the rest ... you've guessed it. Thread/

@rantyactivist it's ok it's only my reputation 😂 so sorry to hear this though as you know - tag your UCU institution branch? Love, strength and solidarity

If you haven't voted, make sure you back the #UCUelection candidates who can step up the fight to defend education.

Tweet below suggests young people seeking to save the world from the destruction are being arrested. Every day brings another low point in the state of advanced capitalism.

[Extinction Rebellion Global @ExtinctionR]

BREAKING: the police have started arresting children for standing up for their future.

We just want justice. This is wrong.

Homeless people in Windsor being evicted off the streets so #RoyalWedding fans can sleep there instead. Irony

[Samantha Fletcher @smgfletcher]

A lovely evening for a walk into Liverpool to support comrades in @ULivUCU2 saying no to redundancies at University of Liverpool
