Increasing the Immigration Health Surcharge to fund public sector pay is immoral and divisive.

Resist these racist tactics that seek to divide us.

Disgusted to hear Labour leader Keir Starmer say @ucu members should stop their marking and assessment boycott.
A good Labour leader would support workers taking industrial action to try to reach an agreement.
A disappointing Labour leader would refuse to give support and just say both sides need to get back round the table and talk.
*No* Labour leader should side with management by telling union members to stop taking action.
#KeirStarmer needs to resign.

Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick reportedly told staff at an asylum reception centre to paint over wall art for children depicting cartoons and animals, so that the place didn't feel welcoming. To children. Is there something wrong with him?! #Asylum #Migration #Tories #UKPolitics

Does the 'resigned' deputy prime minister think civil servants shouldn't be allowed to be in trade unions? Otherwise what's his point about 'unionised officials'? Ministers like him are why it's vital civil servants are in unions.

A clear case of irony deficiency syndrome! Not sure what the treatment would be.

However the panic is being used already in #UKPolitics in the runup to #Localelections this May - most notably in #Oxford

@kityates "Contempt for <insert professional group>" is pretty much a hallmark of this lot...

Well worth doing!

Also worth pressing electoral services at local councils to inform people - most Labour-controlled ones should do anyway but a lot of the other ones may well refuse - claiming no doubt that it would be too expensive!

The UK Labour party (currently under centre/centrist leadership) plans to put off voters at the next election by floating the idea of gradually banning cigarettes, to create an illegal economy of unregulated and untaxed tobacco. Ah, prohibition! Always such a successful way of dealing with a problem ... !

Oh thank you, sir, thank you ma'am, I'll be ever so grateful for the right to ask you a bloody question when I start work instead of having to wait six months for that magnificent right!
(The starting point should be a duty on the employer to not unreasonably refuse a flexible working request.)
