Nothing from @LucyMPowell this morning on @BBCr4today on the crisis in HE, and no vision for what it could be. Well, here is a vision - the Manifesto for Higher Education - and it's being launched tonight! @ucu #HECrisis

Genius! Well done to all @newscord_org for coming up with the comprehensive “BBC: The Would Say Files" that documents the Corporation’s highly selective use of official Israeli statements (ie mostly denials of accusations) newscord.org/editorials/bbc…

When the brand is used against you…Congrats and huge thanks to China Miéville for donating the prize money from his @GoldsmithsPrize for “The Rouse” to the @GoldsmithsUCU strikers and for standing in the real tradition of Goldsmiths’ radicalism and creativity

Le mouvement doit continuer tant que ses revendications ne sont pas satisfaites.
Il n'y a pas besoin d'attendre lundi pour augmenter le Smic de manière substantielle.
Et pour apaiser le pays, en 2027, il faudra tourner la page du macronisme et de ses politiques de malheur.

Strikes in France and Germany today, last week in Italy. Protests spreading across Europe and big defeats for the right in three elections in the last 10 days. How quickly things can change.
Come along to this next Sunday to discuss Marxism, the theory of change.

Absolute disgrace that our Cardiff group has been forced to pull our anti-war tour rally next week due not to the vicar, who supported the event, but higher ups in the @ChurchinWales
Odd move for a religious organisation that calls on churches across the UK to "pray for peace"!

The International Movement Against War - On Tour event in Cardiff will no longer be taking place at St German's Church.

Trump may appear to have accepted his bombing of Iran lost the Republicans the mid-terms, but that doesn't mean he won't do it again!

Something very big is happening in Europe & all of it signals a profound discontent with the neoliberal economic model. We’ve just seen another weekend of huge protests. Friday’s dockers’ strikes stretched from Marseille to Piraeus, from Genoa to Hamburg:

So her views are in line with the majority of the British public.
Imagine in the year 2026 after the crimes we have witnessed with our own eyes being committed against the Palestinians, putting out hit pieces like this. So out of touch.

The key part of this article is in the last paragraph.
Healey, if this is to be believed, will fund increased defence spending by making departmental cuts, with the heaviest cuts to the energy department, including slashing funding for things like heat pumps and home insulation.
This is just madness. It is nonsensical on its own terms. Climate change is the biggest threat to national and human security. The UK's security services think there is a decent chance we will have food shortages and global disruption by the end of the decade. Next year is predicted to be the hottest year on record with a super El-Nino.
But Healey wants to divert already meagre investments in preventing climate change to an industry that is beset with corruption, inefficiency and waste, and which significantly contributes to carbon emissions.
These are not the actions of a serious man.

I have to agree with this in general, although Raju’s books are exceptions to the rule.
After some 30 years as a university teacher, I am convinced that much of the Marxism produced in academia, while explaining certain aspects of society, explains relatively little and offers almost no guidance for socialist revolution.
