If you add up the total number of jobs at risk in UK universities using UCU's latest update, you'll see that 2263 jobs could go - a huge crisis. If govt & unions are pressing Tata for jobs guarantees, why isn't the same being done for Higher Education? ucu.org.uk/your-support-i…

Labour's manifesto promised to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance". That entails ending the Tories' ban on puberty blockers. Young people – cis & trans – must have access to healthcare they need. I'll always stand with the trans community.

Labour is expected to follow legal advice likely to recommend a partial or full Israeli arms embargo, and to drop its objections to the International Criminal Court’s plans to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. Rivkah Brown reports. novaramedia.com/2024/07/25/uk-…

Any suspension of arms exports to Israel must apply to ALL arms. There must be no half-measures.

Said this last night on stage but the event just reinforced the point - I’ve not been this optimistic about English politics since 2017 or so. We know the situation is terrible but people just won’t settle for it any more - there’s a real sense of the tectonic plates shifting.
