I don’t post here because Elon is a Nazi. Log in every now and again so that no-one else nicks my username and pretends to be the global No.1 Dyfrig.

Breaking my self-imposed Xile to encourage all @ucu members to vote in the NEC and VP elections. I’m backing Mark Pendleton and Suzi Toole for the two VP posts, and voting for the following slate of NEC candidates: campaignforucudemocracy.com/…

I've no intention of starting to post on X again, it's still a cesspit owned by a nazi. But if you follow me, and want to read what I have to say*, please sign up for my Substack. * 99% @ucu-related content. open.substack.com/pub/dyfrig…

Periodic reminder that I don’t post on here anymore, and I don’t really check this account. The owner is a Nazi who’s currently running a coup that’s likely to have a devestating global impact.

I’m not deleting the account because I don’t want anyone to nick my username. But I don’t get notifications, and only log in every few weeks to check DMs

May as well share the news that I’m running to be the Vice President of @ucu early next year. Get me on BlueSky (dyfrigjones) if you want to chat about it.

Fel llawer ohonom ni, dwi wedi bod yn defnyddio llai ar Twitter yn ddiweddar, am resymau amrywiol ond amlwg. Mae’n anodd gadael yn llwyr, ond dyna fydd rhaid. Dilynnwch fi ar BlueSky (dyfrigjones) os oes ganddo chi ddiddordeb.

Like a lot of us, I’ve not been using Twitter much for a while, because it’s a cesspit owned by a monster. Leaving the platform is hard, because I don’t want to lose contact with good people. But I’m going to gradually shift over to Bluesky (dyfrigjones), hope some of you follow

Beth served the Cynon Valley with (left wing) distinction - I've heard several Labour members make similar comments in recent months
Beth Winter, the former left wing Labour MP for Cynon Valley, has confirmed she is leaving the party because of its “authoritarian political agenda” aimed at “serving corporate interests and protecting the ruling class” ✍️@ShiptonMartin nation.cymru/news/former-cyn…

Thrilled to see this @guardian piece about David Wrench - maverick musician and producer. All his solo albums and collaborations are astonishing (and completely different) and his rare live acts are pure art. I was once the only paying audience member… theguardian.com/music/2024/o…

Apparently ‘middle Britain’ lives off the profits of stocks and shares and landlordism. What nonsense. Most people in this country have to work and pay taxes on their wages. The privileged minority who don’t, and enjoy unearned income, should pay more tax.
'Are you plotting a war against middle Britain?' - @BethRigby Our political editor quizzes the PM after he insinuated that those whose income are derived from assets, such as shares or property, would not fit his definition of 'working people'. trib.al/Rx0iR33

Important points yesterday evening in Parliament from MP Liz Saville-Roberts @LSRPlaid on the integral role of FE. Fantastic event, and there’s still lots more to come. #NewDealForFE

Fascinating document related to HE national bargaining has come to light through FoI. It's striking just how much policy relating to industrial action is set by UCEA and enforced on employers through 'expectations' that it will be followed. Full doc: uk-highereducation.neocities…
Communication from TAPPR Ltd in regard to the disclosure of the UCEA Code mandated by the First-tier Tribunal. Please retweet and share. Full documents accessible through precariouspostdocs.com @USSbriefs @ucu @OxfordUCU @OxfordAntiCas @cdbuni @QM_UNISON @Wonkhe @qm_ucu

Hastings, yesterday. I stopped to take a photo, as it made me laugh on my own, in the street. – at Hastings, England
