Solidarity! Fantastic teach out at the @leicesterucu picket today showing why the university needs Geography, Geology and Environment #WeAreTheUniversity
The GGE showcase made us ask ourselves what the loss of GGE and its many connections in the University will mean for the ecosystem and sustainability agenda at the University.

Important start to UCU's campaign to defend post 16 ed. It must be the starting gun to a much bigger campaign. We cant beat Starmer's Austerity 2.0 college by college or university by university. We need UK wide action. @ucu @BrightonUCU @NewcastleUniUCU @LondonUCU @UoNUCU

Iโm grandson of an Irish migrant, living in one of the most diverse communities in the country. We get along together pretty well with every section of the community making its contribution. Talk of an โisland of strangersโ shockingly echoes the divisive language of Enoch Powell

This is a pretty massive story. Cardiff Uniโs decision to u-turn on scrapping nursing may be down to missing a ยฃ5m-per year โbreak clauseโ in its funding contract with the WG/HEIW. โone of their flagship cuts proposals may have been a costly mistake.โ
Cardiff Universityโs original plan to shut down its Nursing school could have resulted in a ยฃ5m โfineโ, we can reveal โ๏ธ@ShiptonMartin

Rise of Reform UK is a product of successive governments attacking living standards of the many and scapegoating refugees & migrants. Sadly Labour is continuing this trajectory. We call on the govt to reverse these policies & adopt human rights based refugee & migration policy โฌ๏ธ
๐จ STOP REFORM UK ๐ฅ Read the joint statement from Stand Up to Racism @HackneyAbbott @BellRibeiroAddy @DanielKebedeNEU and more ahead of the May 1 elections where Reform hope to make gains #StandUpToRacism

Have we had apologies for the 'banter' about knifing Jeremy Corbyn (Jess Phillips) or actually blowing up Glastonbury to kill his followers? Or is it only after criticising Israel that you have to apologise for something said two years ago? Just to clarify https://t.co/UrwFFS4fFS
