A huge thank- you to Bristol Rovers for putting the ball out of play for that minute's applause. A wonderful showing of respect 💙🧡

Thank you to all who voted in the UCU elections. Congratulations to Dyfrig Jones, elected VP. I will serve a third term as Midlands HE rep, & as things have landed, am moving straight into a ballot at BCU UCU rhiannonforucuvp.wordpress.com/2025/03/06/tha… rhiannonforucuvp.wordpress.com/2025/03/06/tha…

Unions must fight back against Starmers attacks on disabled people now! Money for welfare, pay rises and NHS - not war! Read our full article: socialistalternative.info/2025/03/11/sta…

Scrapping incapacity benefit entirely for those under the age of 22 is sick beyond belief. Effectively saying the state does not recognise illness or disability in young people. Liz Kendall, Starmer and the Labour govt are going further than Thatcher ever dreamed. Vile scum.

We are stronger together

You have to assume the takeover is off. If Ainsworth does go, big questions about his character and integrity.

It's on. See you on the picket lines.

He's literally trying to privatise as much of it as he possibly can and takes considerable donations from private health care interests. Tweeting this is simply misleading.

😥 Ten years. A cracking achievement; though we were really only clinging on by our fingernails for eight of those 10 seasons. Fingers firmly crossed that this summer we start to see the dawning of a bright new era. #Salop

Finally relegated on Good Friday. But from whence cometh the Resurrection? Anyone want to buy a League 2 football club? We've not got much going for us but we've got a solid, sizeable fanbase who put up with anything, travel in numbers and are so loyal it borders on madness.

Rest in Peace Peter Taaffe. One of the most globally significant and important contributors to both the theory and practice of Marxism and class struggle of his era.

This guy genuinely thinks doing an impression of Farage will save him. Incredible. He has absolutely no idea why Labour are losing votes to Reform. The British political class have thrown up a lot of monstrosities over the decades, but this one might just be the thickest.

Solidarity with Steve North, who I have always known to be a brilliant and informative example of how working class activists can become genuine+serious leaders of our unions. Yet again, the Unison bureaucracy is victimising its best activists instead of building with them.

Could you handle an £8k cut in pay? The only person who seems to think workers can get by with losing 20% of their pay is Bham City Council leader John Cotton So where is he when it comes to negotiating an end to the Birmingham Bins dispute #WheresCotton❓

Where is Bham City Council leader John Cotton? He's led attacks on Brum bin workers pay. He thinks it's OK they should lose up to £8k per year. He says its a major incident. But he can't be bothered to turn up to negotiations. A Labour council leader. #WheresCotton

Today is the birthday of Pajtim Kasami, scorer of possibly the greatest Premier League goal of all time. You'd be hard pushed to find a better one. Take a bow son, then take another one.

Keir Starmer says he is making the UK "war-ready". Who does he think we're gonna fight?
