Wow. The negligence is incredible. Why should staff suffer for decisions they didn't make? What will happen to those who did make the decisions?
In this week’s @PrivateEyeNews 👇 There’s no point trying to create a shiny carbon neutral campus if the academics who should be teaching in at have been sacked. What is the University of Hull playing at? @hulluniucu

Portsmouth is choosing to prioritise new buildings over the staff that support students. Now that staff have overwhelmingly voted no confidence in the vice-chancellor, the university must take stock & halt the cuts. @UcuPortsmouth

Loyal employees are targeted by managers for exploitation. The targeting of these loyal workers is driven by the assumption that loyal works are readily willing to make personal sacrifices. The same thing happens in reverse: workers who agree (versus refuse) to be exploited in

Who’s calling for a ceasefire: - UN Secretary-General - the Irish government - the Spanish government - Amnesty - Oxfam - Save the Children - Doctors Without Borders - the FT - 76% of the UK public #CeasefireNOW is not a radical demand. It’s the only way to stop the bloodshed.

Well said 👏 while felt a bit strange will have embrace turning 50
Thoughts on turning 50, a week on… I have found treasure in my life, real treasure: family & friends. I am lucky to have found such love, friendship & hope in my life - especially at times when I have felt very lost & fragile. Pass on love - it’s the best we can do, as humans.
