90,000 university staff on insecure contracts
Pay slashed by 25%
Our pensions stolen

A constant Government line on nurses’ pay, and on teachers’ pay is:
“We have followed the recommendations of the independent pay review boards”
Sounds good.
But are those boards independent?
Consider these 3 points…

When a person of culture meets a populist dog whistler, the outcome is sublime.
The late great Jonathan Miller here, making the argument that Stuart Rose made against Braverman the other day, just decades earlier.
It’s all about leadership.

🚨 BREAKING: Nurses across the UK have voted for strike action.
RT if you will stand with every single nurse that takes strike action to lift themselves out of poverty.
Claps won’t pay the bills.
