For the record we’re not registered with the electoral commission 😅
We want #YourParty to be the insurgent, left force it needs to be.
We think Your Party should stand grassroots candidates across the country - and we will support them

Yesterday saw another strong day of action at Imperial, with members and students standing shoulder to shoulder with @unitetheunion and @unisontheunion.
Today is the final day of this week’s strikes.
Show your support for colleagues and students fighting for education!

Here's a question to all Universities creating so-called "Free Speech Policies" that require permission for protests to be announced in advance.
Would you ban the Turner Prize Award Ceremony?
Looking at you @UoLondon @SOAS @unibirmingham

No doubt his far right supporters will use this to whip themselves into a frenzy and spread their racism, islamophobia and hate at tomorrow’s march.

🚨 URGENT | @LewishamCouncil is trying to sack our Branch Secretary, Justine Canady.
Justine is being singled out for redundancy to remove her as our democratically elected rep.
This is blatant union-busting. If they sack her, we all suffer.
Read the update & sign the petition

The excessive disciplining of Black staff has been an ongoing battle for ucu members, including fighting the victimisation of leading Black reps where we have been hugely supported by @uniteucu members. Our union must be a safe & fair employer for Black & all workers.

The world is in flames: genocide in Palestine - universities complicit through investments & research contracts with Israel. The environment is a disaster, it's burning & we've got a cost of living crisis.
