Just spent 20 minutes unplugging cables, resetting devices, praying to the gods and sacrificing a goat to fix the internet and it turns out sky is just down in general ๐Ÿคฃ #skybroadband

Warren Gatland can never leave. He must be tied to this job until heโ€™s at least 100 years old. Any price is worth it. Rename Bridgend Gatlandland if we have to. Give him the Millennium Centre to live in. Let Bryn just own Wrexham. Itโ€™s all worth it. He stays forever.

Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?

1/7 I was bemused the UCU consultation had no free text box. So, here are my thoughts: *We are tired and exhausted with industrial action - not because weโ€™ve got no pluck - but because you have failed us at the top. Youโ€™ve brought about division in ur membershipโ€ฆ #ucu

2/7 *There was a deal on the table that Jo Grady recommended. I agreed with this. It felt enough of a victory and had suitable conditions to hold UCEA to account. The next day the HEC rejected it - this was a grave error imo. Confusion and split is what has followed. UCU #ucu

3/7 *Union members were then further divided by the MAB. It felt more hurtful to students than anything else and I couldnโ€™t bring myself to prevent students graduating by not marking - and it didnโ€™t work anyway. UCU #ucu

4/7 *The โ€˜end of season saleโ€™ week of strikes was a disgrace. You used a strike mandate just because it was there. You should have regathered membership momentum nobly, consulted, clarified strategy and reballoted. But you sent us over the topโ€ฆ UCU #ucu

5/7 *There was a โ€˜red brickโ€™ lean in declaring this latter strike as targeting induction. We were in week 2 and it was awful timing. Seek to understand the nuances of your member institutions more in ur strategies UCU #ucu

6/7 *I used ballot โ€˜3rd voting optionโ€™ of not voting (with a heavy heart) because I knew the votes returned would favour strike action but sensed this is no longer the majority position among colleagues. Union action should be for/by the many not the few ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ UCU #ucu

7/7 *I remain a proud union member and support the dispute with the employer. So please regroup honourably, honestly, effectively; for the majority and give us a savvy, 21st century union strategy/plan we can all get behind. UCU #ucu
