Cambridge UCU Vice President, UCU NEC…Oh... and UKIP tried to have me arrested for tweeting. http://campaignforucudemocracy.com
Off to LonDon again for UCU NEC. Ballots and disputes in all sectors across the country, with horrific news from Northumbria and Nottingham Unis. Anything you want to ask or want me to say today? #CampusUnions #UCU #WeAreTheUniversity

OK - I’m going to a UCU HEC meeting today so if you’re in London / SE / Home Counties and have something you want me to pass on pls get in touch! #CampusTradeUnions #WeAreTheUniversity

Disgusting but sadly predictable that the right would attempt to exploit the horrific terror attack in Manchester yesterday to further suppress protests against the genocide in Palestine. Badenoch’s comments are utterly despicable. #r4today #lbcnews

The bias from the BBC is beyond parody at this stage

Last day of #Frightfest2025 not sure how long I can stay thx to weird train issues but looking forward to Mother of Flies.

#Frightfest2025 well that was amazing - well worth a rewatch and with the director and final girl Shauna Macdonald onstage!

#Frightfest2025 Fabulous start to the day- a first feature but so well written, acted and directed - look out for this one The Red Mask

#Frightfest2025 a couple of real turkeys today but now settling in for The Toxic Avenger reboot - with very big reboots to fill. I watched the original Toxie a few years ago sitting next to Lloyd Kaufman, no less

#Frightfest2025 Friday’s first movie has set a very very high bar with this well acted, tightly scripted hilarious and topical thrill ride

#Frightfest2025 is on. And off to a screaming start with The Home starring Pete Davison

The worst illegal immigration in British history, say the tories.

After an Israeli lawmaker was just allowed to justify the annexation of Gaza and state that Hamas was starving Palestine UNCHALLENGED by Justin Webb, that was the last straw. I deleted the BBC app and will never listen to the BBC again. #r4today
BBC is fully complicit in the genocide.

Remember this? Perhaps this will back on the gift shop, as well as one about pensioners, the disabled, poor kids and universities. #IslandOfStrangers

Perhaps an entire tea set. #LabourParty #Starmer

My message at the UCU Rally. We also need the quiet conversations, to recruit, organise and mobilise if we are to strengthen negotiations and have effective action #StopTheCuts #CampusTradeUnions
