As obvious as this may have been to foresee it is still terrible to see it. Can we just refuse anyone who voted for brexit or members of reform access to the NHS? Obviously not, because the people who work in the NHS care about people regardless of background, probably something to celebrate 🤷🏻♂️

It's a pity this isn't a more balanced article. Could it be that after a generation has been employed under austerity for our entire working lives and prohibited from achieving the success those before gained is taking effect. Or is it just breaking the shackles of the BS of a stiff upper lip?

Donald Trump has threatened New York City if it elects Zohran Mamdani.
Imagine a leader did somewhere in Asia, Africa or Latin America.
Would we regard that country as a democracy?

As soon as he satirises peaceful protesters being dragged through the courts for holding placards opposing Israel’s genocide, he faces being unmasked and prosecuted.

University staff are being offered a 1.4% 'pay rise (cut)' by the #UCEA, this on top of years of real terms pay cuts and for most of us fixed term contracts and lack of meaningful progression. I feel undervalued and mocked. Despite this terrible offer, there is no press coverage or #UCU support
