Do u think they did an equalities audit before deciding on a two-tier workforce because I have some wild guesses about who is most impacted here.
“The use of learning analytics systems to proactively identify students with poor attendance and direct them to wellbeing support services via nudge interventions had no measurable impact on students’ subsequent academic engagement across any of the trials"
This is disgusting. Many of the brightest, most engaged students Ive taught - and the ones who graduate with the highest grades - have had no A levels. This white man on a 6-figure salary wants to slash access to higher education for people who aren’t clones of him and he is just plain wrong:
This is exactly why I joined the Green Party three years ago: to show compassion, to calmly counter racist rhetoric, to provide practical solutions to the most basic human needs. Thank you @zackpolanski.bsky.social so much for giving hope a platform that we can get behind.
Six years ago, his principles were entirely different.
No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
This election was a choice between hope and hate, and the people of Gorton and Denton chose hope 💚
🎉 Huge congratulations to the Honourable Member for Gorton and Denton! And to everyone who helped make this happen 👏
I can't wait to see you on Monday, Hannah, and give you the biggest, proudest hug
Universities reportedly 'lack the resources to undertake research' into which tests are most effective. Pull your socks up universities: research is fundamental to what you do, and this is not rocket science.
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
This is emblematic of the consumer culture that fees have engendered.
What the hell did the students expect? It was a ONCE IN A CENTURY PANDEMIC. There were LAWS against congregating in public. Staff worked themselves to the bone to get online delivery working.

Message in Levy Massive Facebook group by Anonymous participant: " Just heard they are knocking Tescos down and turning it into temporary housing for illegal migrants is this true?"
Message in Levy Massive Facebook group by AttractiveKale5631 - an anonymising Facebook handle: "I've been waiting all night for the 192 has something gone on? It's not safe waiting for the bus near Tescos an Asian man keeps harassing me it's a joke this place"
Message in Levy Massive Facebook group by Anonymous participant: "Some man has just kicked my dog outside Levenshulme Bakery told me that dogs shouldn't be allowed in this area, what kind of third worlds mentality have we imported here"
Dispatches from the #GortonandDenton by-election: local community Facebook groups are being flooded with some really dodgy 💩.
One for my neighbours in Levy and for investigative journalists - not sure whom to talk to about it.

Reform UK threatens to cut funding for Welsh university after debating society bans party from campus
want to go to Bangor University' said nobody ever. Especially if Bangor University is stripped of government funding and student loan facilities by @reformparty_uk Is that "in line with your values,' poppets?
This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.
“When students are asked to contribute time, emotional labour, credibility, and personal experience (…) yet see no meaningful shift in outcomes, participation stops feeling like partnership and starts feeling transactional and tokenistic.”
It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵
Very refreshing that. Didn't miss a beat.
This tracks with the number of things i’ve been asked to review/examine this year that had fake citations of me. Just incredibly, staggeringly boneheaded.
We urgently need a parliamentary debate on Palantir. Please sign this & share with your network. Via @the-citizens.bsky.social & @change.org.

Student maintenance loan thresholds are not talked about enough - but increasingly will be acting as a barrier to young people from lower income families looking to go to university. Happy to see the issue being raised in parliament.
I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
When you are admiring the media cut through that the Greens have made in the last 6 months, remember that we've done it on a shoestring.
The huge flood of new members has brought more funds, but we don't do corporate backing and big donors.
This is on passion, creativity and commitment.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided.
When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid.
The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe.
It's time for a rethink.
Trump and Farage
A real shame if this photo went viral again today.
People try to ascribe motives, strategy and logic to Trump but it's not acknowledged nearly enough that he's simply a spectacularly stupid man who happens to be extremely rich and entitled with it and therefore has gained a lot of power.
He's a very clear example of the Dunning Kruger effect.
ReformUK paid return envelope to Glasgow
Postie brought a leaflet from Reform UK today, in Glasgow. Incl a 2nd Class postage paid envelop. If you get one, remember to post the envelop back to them, empty or perhaps with a special message. Every envelop returned will cost them 85p. If every Glasgow household does that, cost will be £250K 😂
