Universities prudently entrust access to senior office to the present leadership, who -- with commendable diligence -- sit on every senior appointments committee
Applicants burdened by independent thought, or tempted by collective responsibility, are gently but firmly turned away 😉

UK University sector has just endured one of the most damaging years in its history
There are clear signs that situation will deteriorate further rather than stabilise
Which will be the first University to go bankrupt?
Who'll be the first Vice Chancellor to go to prison?

"What I learnt (the hard way) after I raised bullying issues with my University:
HR is not my friend
Confidentiality is a shield to protect the institution & the powerful
Transparency is optional
Staff wellbeing is a slogan, not a practice"

Seven Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners have announced the end of their hunger strike after the government decided not to award a £2bn contract to the Israeli arms company subsidiary Elbit Systems UK.
Fears had been growing for the welfare of those taking part in the protest.

Great progress in new poll for Wales.
Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th.
Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.
