I don't believe in trying to influence a vote for a union you are not in. But now the vote is over - I would have voted for @zenscara not on her promises (good as they are) but because of what I know she has done. May the wind be at your back.

UCU should lead the way as an employer by employing best practice in its own workplace, and I believe that with @zenscara as GS it would. vickyblakeucu.uk/endorsement… #vicky4GS

The brutal collective punishment in #Gaza must end. 🔴 Indiscriminate attacks must stop now. 🔴 Forcible displacement must stop now. 🔴 Assaults on healthcare must stop now. 🔴 Restrictions on aid and the siege must stop now. 🔴 It all #MustStopNow!

Junior doctors are overworked, undervalued and underpaid. Proud to support them on the picket line this morning outside Whittington Hospital. We support you in your fight to protect your patients, defend your profession, and save our NHS!

NO Jeremy Clarkson. Not on any level, in any circumstance, is it ok to write this stuff about any woman & absolutely NO to "everyone who's my age thinks the same" No no no. We absolutely do NOT think the same. Listen to the noise Jeremy. The crowds are chanting "shame on YOU"

Announce escalating action now! Keep the pressure on employers during talks - mailchi.mp/uculeft.com/annou… #UCURising #UCUStrike #Solidarity

Come on schools just drop the uniform thing. People are feeling the squeeze. Looking 'uniform', at considerable cost, is not better than keeping warm and fed.

Wow, this is phenomenal. Emily Maitlis (@maitlis) is absolutely ripping into this government’s erosion of democracy, standards and institutions. It’s not normal, she says - and we should not accept it as normal. 👏👏👏

Am I the only one who resents commentators calling a #Peoplesvote a "second referendum" - implying it's a re-run until people give right answer? It's not. It's opportunity to ask the utterly reasonable question: "Are you happy with the negotiated deal? Is it what you voted for?"

Harry Leslie Smith's finest moment. His NHS speech reduced Labour's Health Secretary @AndyBurnhamGM, and others, to tears as he spoke of the dangers of leaving the Tories to run our health service.

As the year winds down and we look toward 2019, I’m asking you to make a commitment: find something you want to change in your community and take the first step toward changing it. If you need some inspiration, take a look at some of the young leaders who inspired me this year.

1. This is a parliamentary democracy - my duty is to stand up for my constituents. 2. Your govt has failed to deliver on the promises made in 2016 and still can't agree what Brexit is. 3.The mandate is years old & based on an illegal campaign. 4. A majority now want to remain.
You expect people to respect domocracy & honour you win at a General election as an MP, why not honour the referendum? People voted to leave, don’t patronise the country with talk of what you decide they did or did not know.

Saifullah Paracha, the oldest prisoner in Guantánamo Bay, will probably die in detention without ever being charged. His son is currently in a US prison. Both have been in custody for almost 15 years, accused of aiding al-Qaida. But did they? theguardian.com/news/2018/de…
