🚨HAPPENING NOW: over 1,000 workers blockading UK Trade Department in London & BAE Systems’ arms factories in Scotland, Wales & Lancashire. “If arms company bosses & Britain’s political elite won’t impose an arms embargo, we, the workers, will continue enforcing it from below”🇵🇸

This is an unacceptable attack on the Oxford Palestine Encampment. Full solidarity with everyone at Oxford Action for Palestine.

Can we talk at some point about the managers who state there, suddenly, is a risk of £35million deficit? Like, how terribly have you been managing that you didn't see a £35 million deficit coming? Or did you see it coming and failed to do anything about it?

We can't say it better than this video does. An astounding act of kindness and support. Let's reach out and listen to one another 🫶 UCU Wolves

Our Gaza Memorial Garden was a beautiful space before the University bulldozed it. Every aspect of this space was intentionally curated to honour the martyrs of Gaza – and its beauty deserves to be shared with the world. We will not stop protesting until Palestine is free.

"This election has been the worst election I have ever stood in." Jess Phillips is met with boos and jeers from the audience as she narrowly wins her Labour seat in Birmingham Yardley. Watch #C4BritainDecides NOW on @channel4 until 9am. #GeneralElection2024

This result is a huge win for trade unionists. Labour must now seize the moment and meaningfully shift the balance of power towards working people. Anything less would leave the party open to accusations of being Tories in red clothing. ucu.org.uk/article/13651/…

Britain's political and media class must stop their pandering to racism against migrants and refugees. Our statement on fascist violence in recent days:

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month. Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

March on Eastgate street

#Liverpool has turned up again! Massive crowd telling the far right they’re not welcome on Merseyside ✊🏾 #StandUpToRacism

It was a privilege to be part of this today ⬇️ Anyone who thinks these protests are unnecessary: Ask the young woman who spoke so movingly about how her family have been told not to go into work because their employers can't guarantee their safety. We all need to #StandUpToRacism

"30 years of racist immigration legislation" caused the Windrush scandal, a new damning govt report confirms. Hostile immigration policies are, and always have been, based on the exclusion of people of colour. They must be scrapped. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/s…
