Negotiations over whether to honour 1.4 per cent increase ongoing at several other institutions amid financial crunch
'Staff at some institutions will not get even get the small rise due to them because of a clause in the negotiations that allows for a delay for up to 11 months if a university is facing financial difficulties.' So far, Dundee, Kent, Brunel, Coventry, Swansea.

The shift to the right by Labour is massively unpopular (3m+ against digital ID) and we have the lowest approval for any PM ever. Their moves to suppress anti-genocide protest are desperate- unable to change course without admitting their own guilt.

Trumpβs speeches are selectively edited, the more nonsensical or senile elements are not reported, only the most cogent parts, as if he wasnβt obviously incompetent and impaired. Actions of ICE donβt get reported at all.

The normalisation of US fascism by the BBC and the rest of the mainstream media has massively encouraged the far right in the UK and so the tory party is shifting into policies that would never have been considered before. #r4today #lbcnews

Youβre reading it wrong - there are scores if not hundreds of Jewish people at the heart of these organisations. Take the new Green Party leader and his strong statements over the past few days as just one example.

Itβs quite shocking that the Home Secretary not only equates all anti genocide protests with anti semitism, but also that there arenβt Jewish people at the heart of these protest organisations.

Starmer wants rethink on international law to tackle migration
The PM gives the clearest sign yet the government wants to reform how human rights laws are applied in immigration cases.
It isn't international law which is the issue. It is politicians like Starmer demonising migrants and stripping them off rights.
When you start talking about reducing access to rights for one group you open the door for someone else to end them for others.

The Trump plan for Gaza does not recognise Palestine as a state. It has continuous IDF occupation & reduces the territory to some kind of US protectorate ruled by a colonial governor- Tony Blair. How can governments who recognised the Palestinian state & the two state solution support it?
