Happy people, unhappy people.... Tomorrow, Saturday, some of the latter are planning to be in Nottingham at 2.00pm. At 1.00 there will be a emergency unity rally at the Brian Clough statue to protest against the far right. Note - the plan is to avoid direct confrontation.

We're delighted to welcome our new President, @LopaLeach who is the first woman of colour to lead our branch and (we think) the first Bangladeshi woman to hold this position in UCU. Congratulations and thank you to out-going president @Andreas_Bieler for your work.
First day as President of our amazing, passionate @UoNUCU branch. Feeling imposter syndrome, given past giants. Always was a member of @ucu but really got involved during our Pension & 4 Fights strikes . Some images below, including my first maiden speech with a dodgy microphone

That moment when your highly talented, conscientious, scholarly colleague tells you that they've been 'provisionally selected for redundancy'. Angry, sad, infuriated. @GoldsmithsUCU @ucu

The patriarchy is alive and kicking. All the power to @jessphillips. Solidarity!
Really ugly scenes during @jessphillips‘ acceptance speech. Absolutely appalling; men shouting down a woman when she’s legitimately won an election is disgraceful and a bad look for our democracy.

If Goldsmiths - with a very strong & active union - can get away with sacking nearly 100 people for spurious financial reasons, then I shudder to think about what's next for other universities. Please send messages of support to @GoldsmithsUCU & donate to gofundme.com/f/help-goldsmit…
