The police have arrested what appear to be peaceful republican protesters in Trafalgar Square. It’s in everybody’s interests, especially the Met’s, that they explain exactly why as soon as possible. No matter what you think about monarchy, this is a deeply disturbing moment.

Strike Day 4 is on Valentine’s Day. ❤️ my @ucuatqub and @UniteQUB comrades fighting for the soul of @QUBelfast . I wonder if our VC might make a special appearance to engage with staff? #LoveQUB Or abandon us to the 13th year of pay cuts. 🤔 #ucuRISING

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD.
University bosses are rattled. Across the UK they are threatening UCU members with unfair and immoral pay deductions if they take part in action short of striking. This thread exposes every single one of them
