Here in our city of #Oxford , the students are bringing the Town and Gown together in ways we’ve not seen in years.

There is so much diverse support for #Oxford students across the city.

'Crossing the road in Bradford'. Would we accept similar violent behaviour in any other domain of our lives? Then why do we accept it on our streets?

Today a day I didn't expect to see. In 1989 I became a lecturer London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine My short letter of appointment said “you will vacate your office on the 8th May 2024”. A date impossibly far away, that I was sure I wouldn’t reach (for reasons indicated in bmj.com/content/303/68…)

This ain't living

Who causes the cost?

Inflation no chance...

To increase finance...

Bills pile up sky high...

'P&O Ferries pay workers £4.87 an hour, while the boss is on £508K a year.'

📢 Today we learned that P&O Ferries pay workers £4.87 an hour, while the boss is on £508K a year. Excessive bosses pay is directly funded by workers' poverty and our study of the #FTSE100 (2021 - 2023) ⬇️ showed this is just the norm in the UK.

“Any ground invasion into #Rafah would be an absolute catastrophe. It doesn’t bear thinking about. It would be a disaster upon a disaster.” Christopher Lockyear

Immediate and sustained ceasefire now. #Gaza

🆘 A Rafah offensive must not go ahead. The UK Government must do everything in its power to help STOP THE INVASION of #Rafah & avert a further humanitarian catastrophe. The UK needs to #StopSellingArms to Israel NOW. 

The UK Government will be COMPLICIT as long as it continues

That's $677,229 of profit per employee in Ireland

$469,029 in Singapore

As opposed to $47,281 in the UK, etc.

I was delighted to speak to the finance ministers of Latin America, reunited at CEPAL in 🇨🇱, to explain why it is necessary—and possible—to create a coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich

This is key to fight inequality, the climate crisis, and poverty

🧵

The Government must publicly call for an urgent ceasefire & implore Israel to end this heart-rending attack on Rafah.

A full-scale attack would be a tragedy, killing countless more innocent Palestinians, displacing families & making it harder than ever to provide lifesaving aid.
