Oh ffs, are people really *that* stupid? Do they really trust the Tories to fix the economic mess caused by... the Tories? Voters choose Sunak’s Tories over Labour to repair economy, new poll reveals theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD. Threats of unfair and immoral pay deductions for taking part for action short of striking continue. This thread exposes those universities that prefer to intimidate their staff than treat them with respect. #ucuRISING

🚨 I NEED EVERY FOLLOWER TO SHARE THIS🚨 Every single university in the UK will be shut down with 18 days of strike action across February and March RT if you will support UCU members RT if you will be on our pickets #ucuRISING #EnoughlsEnough
