Finger-pointing at migrants.
Never at the billionaires who dodge taxes and pay poverty wages.
@drjogrady DrJoGrady said what needed saying. #UCU #Reform #immigration
Big shout to UCU members who got themselves down. This is what our union stands for. Education builds cohesion and educators stand for unity, not division.
Join the Nakba78 march this Saturday.
78 years since the Nakba. Tommy Robinson on the streets. Trade unions have to show up.
Exhibition Road, 12pm. Join us.
“I’m at risk”
2,700 at-risk letters sent at Nottingham. Staff response? They posted them on their doors.
This is what solidarity looks like.
Management says there’s no alternative. There is.
Today, @drjogrady stood with staff at @ucu_ulster as they rally to fight back against plans to cut 450 jobs.
15% of the workforce. Gone. UCU has called it “unprecedented” and we mean it.
Ulster staff are not alone. Show your support✊
“This is vandalism.”
2,700 staff at the University of Nottingham have received letters putting them at risk of redundancy.
Members describe shock turning into anger and organisation.
The message from staff is clear: these cuts are not necessary, and alternatives have already been put forward.

600 jobs to go at the University of Nottingham.
Nearly 2,700 staff have received at-risk letters this week.
This is devastating for our members, the university and the city.
Strike action is underway at Capital City College Group.
Four days. Eight sites. Picket lines from today through to Friday.
CCCG had months to negotiate on workload. They didn’t. Show your support! ✊
“Asleep at the wheel.”
The government has sleepwalked into a higher education crisis that we have been warning about for years.
24 universities facing potential insolvency. Thousands of job losses. Course closures. Campuses sold off.
@drjogrady is calling for an emergency higher education taskforce so ministers directly intervene.
Labour say further education is central to their growth mission. But they’re cutting adult education budgets.
Staff are haemorrhaging from the sector. And FE workers in England are paid less than anywhere else in the UK.
If the government wants growth, it needs to put its hand in its pocket and invest in the people delivering it.
The NHS crisis. The GP shortage. Rents you can’t afford.
These problems have causes and migrants aren’t one of them.
Reform have convinced people to point the finger at migrants, because it takes the heat off the politicians and corporations who actually created these crises.
