A revisit to an old item from a cabinet...

Back on the picket line! Cambridge University staff won't settle for crumbs. It's time for the university to recognise their worth and address real terms pay cuts.

.Cambridge University has been enforcing below inflation pay rises for too long & our members have had enough. It may be a prestigious university, but that doesn’t put food on the table or pay the bills of essential workers doing vital roles. #JobsPayConditions unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

How will Labour explain to future generations why they chose to ignore the climate emergency? Sorry, a liveable planet just didn't "make the cut"?

This is such despicable behaviour! I’ve visited the museum a number of times & know many of the items have great sentimental value. A huge amount of volunteer time goes into managing the museum. I hope the items get recovered and person/s held responsible. edp24.co.uk/news/24512711.…
