Reminder to every UK uni worker who pays into USS pension. When your pay packet goes up magically in January, it's because of several years of diligence and exhausting industrial action by UCU members

Dear @michelledonelan -
As Science Minister, I think you owe the UK science community an apology for this nasty propaganda which undermines the community you are charged with representing.
RT if you agree...
Michael Tanner retweeted
You’re like the sad old drunk in the pub, making up fantasy enemies to slay because they’re the only ones left you can beat. The real fights, fixing the NHS, education, social care, transport, you either can’t or won’t face up to. So this is what you’re left with. Pathetic.
NEW: Conservatives are safeguarding scientific research from the denial of biology and the steady creep of political correctness.

I have worked hard to make science more inclusive.
Science needs diverse researchers with varied interests & skills, and should apply itself to solving diverse global problems.
As far as I'm concerned, if the government wants to 'kick out the woke', they'll need to sack me.
