Fantastic ✊ Seeing students continuing to stand in solidarity with us is truly heartwarming ❤️ #ucuRISING
Hands off the Brighton 25! 100% deductions for #MAB😡 80 staff gone via 'voluntary' redundancy😞 25 lecturers still facing compulsory redundancy😲 WATCH📽️on our indefinite strike. Support our fight to #SaveBrightonUni⤵️ #ucuRISING| #BoycottBrightonUni| tinyurl.com/SaveBrightonUni
@virginmedia deplorable to change our landline to piggyback our broadband. No 999 calls, burglar or fire alarms no care alerts if power or network down! = NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SERVICE. But still charging us for a landline! Trying to cancel our contract, ha ha that's another story!
Virginmedia suck. Changing our landline to piggyback on our broadband. Now no phone if power or network down! No 999 calls, burglar or fire alarms no care alerts = NOT A SERVICE. So will be cancelling our contract.
🤬A paper about the redundancies submitted to our academic board yesterday was disgracefully ruled out of order by chair Stephen Dudderidge🤡 We will not be gagged! 🤐 Our lobby was LOUD and clear: Debra out! Stop the redundancies! #SaveBrightonUni #ucuRISING
Glad this is still getting traction. We discussed it on @RestIsPolitics and it had a huge response. As Johnson and his cronies seem to shape a new lying narrative about a sordid plot against him as victim, listen to Philippa Bateman. And never forget the lies told and damage done
You MUST listen to this. A lady called Philipa Bateman phoned in to "BBC Any Answers" last week and talked about her experience of the lockdown and her opinion of @BorisJohnson. WARNING ⚠️ this is POWERFUL! Please share.
Great coverage from BBC 🎧Listen back from 8:15am bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li… Students and staff discuss the occupation and the job cuts. But the VC refuses to talk! We know why you're hiding: you cannot defend or justify these planned redundancies! #StopTheCuts #SaveBrightonUni
Students continue to occupying the Vice Chancellor's Office at the University of Brighton over job cuts bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Our brave students are peacefully occupying our VC's office. This attack on staff is an attack on education. Students are defending staff and also their own education! #SaveBrightonUni #ucuTOGETHER #UCUCongress
The occupying students have released a video to tell us more about their demands! ‼️‼️
Thank you for your question at #PMQs today, @RLong_Bailey. You're right to say that #WASPI women need fair and fast compensation and we look forward to hearing what commitment to compensation @UKLabour will make.
Women born in 1950’s had their state pension age increased without being told. Many unknowingly gave up work at 60 only to have no income, struggle to pay bills and some even lost their homes. They deserve fair and fast compensation for this injustice #Waspi

@BrightonHoveCC just received my renewal residents parking permit. Have been cheated out of 2 weeks. Old one expired 31 March 23. New one 13 March 24 WHY? phone line closes at 1pm, website offline. Useless service! #parking #
@BrightonHoveCC just received my renewal residents parking permit. Have been cheated out of 2 weeks. Old one expired 31 March 23. New one 13 March 24 WHY? phone line closes at 1pm, website offline. Useless service! #parking #
SHAME ON YOU @BrightonHoveCC #brighton for planning to close another 15 public toilets, mainly in parks. Keep the city free of human excrement by respecting the need for free public toilets. #publictoilets #publichealth #savebrightonspublictoilets #respecttheneedtopee
There are almost 300,000 vacancies across NHS & social care - no wonder when average care worker pay is less than pay at McDonald's. When I ask Minister to at least meet nurses halfway on pay as @theRCN have offered & increase social care pay too, he ignores & blathers - shameful
I will be deactivating my Twitter account and probably moving to Mastadon. But I may just avoid adding any extra social media accounts for a while. Live in the moment, not on the screen.
Sunak replied saying the NHS was important "Yes, and look after it," said Catherine Poole, a 77-year-old patient who is recovering from surgery trib.al/olc0dm9
Rishi Sunak - Have they looked after you? Hospital patient - They always do, but it's a pity you don't pay them more Rishi Sunak - We're trying Patient - No, you're not trying, you need to try harder
"Pensioners’ lives are not playthings & they have suffered enough uncertainty." Spot on, @rosaltmann. And #WASPI #1950swomen have had more uncertainty than most with @DWPgovuk #StatePension #maladministration @WASPI_Campaign #fairandfastcompensation thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions…
Disgraceful nepotism disregard for the populous
So Liz Truss has just dished out a peerage and trade minister job to a multi-millionaire Tory donor... who co-founded Jacob Rees-Mogg’s fossil fuel-tied investment fund She has absolutely no shame, does she?
