Publishing the watered down, heavily manipulated and yet absolutely shameful homelessness figures in advance of #GE2024 risks exposing our watery-like rhetoric, societally manipulative behaviour and shameful record in tackling homelessness.

#Sociology faces resistance in authoritarian regimes because it exposes oppression. It unravels systemic injustices and disrupts the narratives of those in power.

"Sector leaders expected more than 100 of the UK’s 140-odd universities to be making redundancies by the start of 2025, in what has been described as a “cataclysmic” situation where “everything is on the table”."
