Members of the University and College Union (UCU) have just completed a three-day strike over £140 million of cuts at Edinburgh University, which they say include up to 1,800 job losses. The union has called on the university to rule out compulsory redundancies.

Delighted to have another one of our murals featured by @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social
This series around Govan - Isabella Elder, Helen Crawfurd and the Suffrage Oak - was commissioned by Yardworks Glasgow and we co-created the designs with local community groups of all ages 🥰
A mural of Isabella Elder on a junction box on Elderpark on Glasgow. Created by @scotsuffragettes.bsky.social, it celebrates the life of a woman who did an amazing amount for the people of Govan and Glasgow.

Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto franchise has generated over $10.22 billion in revenue since 2013.  They have not paid UK corporation tax in many recent years, claiming millions in tax credits instead. What the staff are asking for is the right to have a recognised trade union.

Sex worker-led organizations and human rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, argue that the Nordic model (which criminalizes the purchase of sex but not the sale) makes sex work more dangerous.

Poll shows 70% of trans people think BBC News is ‘hostile’
The right wing claims the corporation is ‘pro-trans’, but the people at the sharp end of its coverage disagree. The BBC must stop its attack on trans people.
