Yesterday was a good day at the football 💙 #itfc

At meeting of Norfolk County Council today - judging by the number of Tory twin-hatters who haven’t shown up there isn’t a lot of love from their own group for their version of devolution. Voting with their feet rather than support the Tory motion on #devolution #norfolk

Day two on the picket outside NEU offices — a 🧵

So many messages of solidarity have poured in from NEU and multiple union districts and branches across the UK. Thank you so much…

@uniteneu.bsky.social

Sad to have to strike today

My minimum expectation is that our trade union employer should follow its own rules and protocols and avoid the worst practices of the employers that the NEU fights on behalf of its members

That low bar has not been met

Solidarity with all my #NEU #UNITE siblings

NEU staff are on strike today and tomorrow.

We can’t beleive it’s come to this. Striking as a trade union worker requires an absurd amount of things to go wrong — because you spend everyday making the union you love the kind of organisation people want to join - you only ever want to see it win.

Scientists at Loughborough University create 'world's smallest violin' The violin is smaller than a human hair and has "laid the groundwork" for future research.

Education, education, education? When will Labour tackle the crisis engulfing our schools, colleges and universities? All levels of our education system face a systemic crisis. Yet as with so many other areas of policy, Keir Starmer doesn't seem to have any hopes for education at all, writes Connor Bollins.

Even in death there is no dignity for Virginia Giuffre

Too much of the media coverage is still the narrative of the rich & powerful predatory perpetrators

Is it not possible to speak her name without those of her abusers?

My thoughts with Vaz Hladky who has been on the receiving end of this two years running

Stunning work, as ever

On the way from a misty Norwich to Newcastle to join our promotion party as we head back to the championship

(It feels like promotion as I love the second division VAR etc can fuck right off)

Working away this week tutoring - a bit of reflective reading for myself too #tradeunionorganising

Mental health conditions are overdiagnosed, Streeting says Wes Streeting says too many young people are

Increased prevalence is not the same as over diagnosis.

Given how difficult it is to access mental health services more likely under diagnosis

urgent need to tackle living, learning & working conditions that make people ill not limit help for those who already are
