Cardiff Catholic priest Mark Rowles sentenced for sending racist neo-Nazi messages Father Mark Rowles was arrested by counter terror police for extreme right wing activity on social media.

WTAF!!!! So sad to see that this racist, was the priest for my former primary/junior school. It is little wonder I denounced my religion as soon as I could.

This is horrific and I am so sorry that you have to endure this. Solidarity to you Dawn.

Solidarity to @hackneyabbott.bsky.social the endless abuse you have received from within @teamlabouruk.bsky.social is appalling.

You are an inspiration and shine a spotlight on systemic racism ax

The misogynistic comments about Diane Abbott, the longest serving Black MP, recounted with glee by Paul Ovenden are utterly despicable.

The fact that the Party knew about this and swept it under the carpet until it was reported in the press, is unforgivable.

Solidarity to you all

There is no trade-off between pay and jobs. Don't let the employers fool you otherwise. This dispute is on three things:

1.Pay uplift = at least RPI+3.5% or £2,500, on all pay points
2.Protection of national agreements on T&C's
3.A national agreement to protect jobs & subjects

Cardiff Uni students threatened with jail for unpermitted campus protests Cardiff University has obtained a High Court injunction in response to the now-disbanded Palestine camp outside its main building

“Students threatened with jail if they protest without permission.”
@CardiffUCU - “we think it raises serious worries about staff and students’ right to protest as well as potentially endangering legitimate trade union activities”

I can't believe it needs to be said, least of all to a Labour Government, but we should be tougher on genocide than peaceful protest against genocide.

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.

The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.

We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

Bully's, bully's everywhere.

Stand up against bully's and reach out to the victims. Silence is complicity.

Let this sink in - Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer are choosing to push 50,000 children into poverty - but won't ask multi-millionaires and billionaires to pay a little bit more tax.

Absolutely sickening.

Government’s own impact assessment of its £5 billion cuts to benefits:

an extra quarter of a million people including 50,000 children will be in relative poverty by 2029/30

UCU calls for the suspension of Cardiff University's two most senior academics 'The proposals are already having a catastrophic effect'

The University and College Union (UCU) has called on the Learned Society of Wales (LSW) to suspend the fellowships awarded to vice-chancellor Professor Wendy Larner and deputy vice-chancellor, Professor Damian Walford Davies over brutal & unnecessary cuts.

Great to have students not on yr module turn up to the lecture and tell you how much they enjoyed it.
Lectures are redundant and a poor, colonial method which I can't remove on this module. Nevertheless, great way to introduce a topic they don't have access to.

Bump to make sure people across #UKHE are aware.

UK must respect Trump's mandate, new ambassador to US Mandelson tells BBC In his first day on the job, Lord Peter Mandelson says "we have to respect and understand what drives" the US president.

Someone needs to tell Mandleson ethnic cleansing doesn't need to be "respected, understood and adjusted for."
