6,085,174 people signed the petition to revoke article 50. Nobody took any notice.

5,248,533 people voted for the Brexit Party. These are apparently The People whose will must be followed unquestioningly.

Can I offer all my thanks to delegates and @UCU staff for making our #UCU2019 Congress a success. The NEC has a lot of work on its hands over the next year, and I hope to fill the shoes of outgoing @presidentucu @vickyknighttued as well as I can.

UCU acting general secretary Paul Cottrell said: 'It is not scaremongering to point out the huge sums of money universities would lose if the government backs a cut in fees and does not plug the gap.' https://t.co/PcR56orW1Y

So @policescotland can ask McDonald’s not to sell milkshake because of safety concerns for Farage, but didn’t object or suggest a re-route for marches past Glasgow Catholic Churches-St Mary's & St Alphonsus #Priorities🙈 https://t.co/jINfkSMc2J

Of all the issues that I have dealt with as a trade unionist, perhaps the one that continues to astound me is pregnancy/maternity leave. A natural thing that happens is often dealt with appallingly by employers. They start to lose any sense of reasonableness and lack empathy.

It was a real honour to represent @ScottishTUC and bring solidarity greetings to the @EISFela rally this lunch time. #NegotiateNow #fairpaynow
