You gotta admit, the staffers in the background keeping it real are the best part.

A bustling, busy picket line outside @ucu.org.uk head office with @uniteucu.bsky.social members and supporters showing their solidarity and standing against trade union victimisation.

Seems no lights are on and no one is home. Officially sanctioned strike breaking!

Unite against TU Victimisation

@Unitetheunion.bsky.social doesn't tolerate the victimisation of its reps by employers. Today our members in the North West are showing what solidarity looks like.

It's time UCU ended the victimisation of Marie, our Health & Safety Officer.

Two thirds of UCU staff walk out. I worked for UCU two decades ago. In fact I ran for General Secretary and just lost. There is no way two thirds of the staff would walk out if the story of victimisation isnt true. My sources say its been coming for years.

So that’s Zahawi and Dorries, failed to get into Lords and join Reform. Gullis couldn’t get a job after losing his seat in election, joins Reform. Jenkins loses her seat at election, joins Reform.

Failures and grifting wankers to a fucking tee.

I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

It appears Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered as my wife and I were literally watching Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues.

Considering watching Home Alone 2 tonight.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Critics argue that the ECHR stops us from being able to deport illegal migrants. In reality, in 75 years the ECHR has only ruled against the UK in 13 cases out of 500k: 0.000026%. The ECHR is being used a scapegoat for domestic challenges, and we must defend it.

The ECHR is seen by its critics as a major barrier to attempts to deport illegal migrants from the country.
