Lots of people have preconceived ideas about what working in a university must be like. Here, UCU member Chris has a message about the reality of it for far too many staff. Share the video. Support the strike. Join us in demanding change. #ucuRISING

It’s not just Nadhim Zahawi. £570,000,000,000 is held by Britain’s super-rich in offshore tax havens. £18,500,000,000 is lost in tax every year through these schemes. £3,200,000,000 is avoided yearly by non-doms like the PM’s wife. It’s time to end the scam. #EnoughlsEnough
