Spent some time last summer obsessing over Maria Macciochi with @SJRMercer and the lessons we can learn from her time in Naples in the 1960's.
Here's some thoughts for you

Theatre assistants marched on the CEO yesterday to demand backpay till 2020 and parity pay with HCA’s for undertaking clinical duties 🥳🥳🥳
Band 2 theatres staff are still in good spirits, despite the chief executive of @LeedsHospitals failing to commit to anything at a meeting today.
Other band 2 staff have been rebanded and received back pay to acknowledge the work they do. Theatres staff deserve the same! ✊

It was great to see theatre assistants and fluoroscopy assistants at Leeds Teaching Hospitals gather for the UNISON regrading launch meeting earlier today.
They've voted to form an organising committee and launch a petition to ask for the back pay that they deserve ✊
Feeling very fortunate to be at the global labour university alumni in conference in Delhi. Hearing a lot of interesting discussion from comrades all over the globe.

What in the actual fuck are the cops in this video doing here as a building with people in it is set alight?

The arsonists last night destroyed a Citizens Advice Bureau.
For those outside the UK, that's a place where the British public, particularly low income or disadvantaged communities, get free legal advice and support.
Staff are devastated.

one side: committing pogroms
the other side: trying to stop them from committing pogroms
you: these two sides are exactly the same

I wis I was surprised @BBCNews that you would talk about rival protests when racist thugs are attacking people because of the colour of their skins.
But you have consistently platformed the far right & peddle Islamophobia to dehumanise Muslims including Palestinians so own it.
Police separate rival protests, with pockets of disorder in several cities in England

From a demonstration page of the far right in Manchester.
This is why we must counter the far right in our cities and towns.
Excellent article from our lad @richmg_ on housing financialisation in supported living- exploring the ways value is extracted from housing - exploiting some of the most vulnerable in society. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Marx: "The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint... etc., the more you save—the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour—your capital. 1/2

🪧Wirral's Clinical Support Workers are out on strike again today and will be during every weekday of this month.
Many Trusts in the region have settled HCA disputes without strike action.
Why is @WUTHnhs any different? CSWs have been on strike SINCE AUGUST LAST YEAR 😯

Margaret Atwood once said: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
No girl should fear for her life for rejecting a man. No girl should lose her life protecting her friend.
Rest in peace Eliyanna Andam.

As soon as the tragic news came through, our members withdrew from the picket and went to help the community. Remarkable people.
Thoughts are with the victims and their families.
