NEU staff are on strike today and tomorrow.
We can’t beleive it’s come to this. Striking as a trade union worker requires an absurd amount of things to go wrong — because you spend everyday making the union you love the kind of organisation people want to join - you only ever want to see it win.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Before she died, having been cleared by the Metropolitan Police and High Court, Camila Batmanghelidjh wrote asking me to help her judicially review the Charity Commission. I am very pleased, at last, to be able to say 'yes.'
This case has powerful personal resonances for me. goodlaw.social/b8yu
