...and the fact that this crisis of casualisation deepened while the university was busy erecting a forest of glossy new buildings just adds insult to injury. @LSEnews
LSE's drop in the proportion of academic positions being permanent is in sharp contrast to most other comparable universities, where the number of permanent positions typically increased over the period:

There's a crisis of academic casualisation and precarity at the LSE. Insecure and short-term contracts are rife. We're social scientists, so we decided to research how serious the problem is. Here's a thread with our key findings, 28-page report + code repository. @ucu #ucuRISING

I have just supported the ULEZ expansion. It takes just two minutes to tell Transport for London you would like to see ULEZ extended to all of Greater London. Please will you do the same? https://t.co/pyTC1tI3Gy

I am so shaken by this horrific and entirely avoidable death that happened at Holborn last week. I have risked my life for 12 years cycling through this deadly junction and have seen absolutely NO improvement - @MayorofLondon @willnorman @CamdenCouncil when are you going to act?
Motorists have killed EIGHT cyclists at junctions in Holborn since 2008!?! How do TfL and Camden Council just sit back and watch this happen? The last fatality was only six months ago!
