A reminder, as @sarahwatersleeds.bsky.social & I have long argued, that investigation of work-related suicides in U.K. falls far behind that in other countries. It!s almost as if they don’t want to kniw if there’s a link pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39403343/

When work kills - PubMed

Workplace suicide is an urgent, yet under-researched phenomenon. The paper brings a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective to bear on this phenomenon.

The one thing we had that was world leading, systematically destroyed. 100s of redundancies. This will surely finish off more universities. Hoping @lucympowell.bsky.social will act now. ❤️ @ucu.org.uk for fighting to save higher education. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Good piece, brief and to the point from @drjogrady.bsky.social Gen Sec of UCU: “We are calling for direct government intervention before the crisis spirals further.” Intervention is cheaper than most think, and pound for pound excellent investment in our future economic prosperity.

The government must intervene before the universities crisis worsens

During moments of political crisis it’s often said there are weeks when decades happen. This has been one such week.

Mum hospitalised in 1st wave, Dad died; she never came home, got decanted to care home, put in solitary confinement. Unspeakable misery. Boris and crew made terrible decisions, fuelled by hubris and a desire to party. I'm incandescent with rage. (Thank you Christina for making sure we don't forget).

Prof Christina Pagel@chrischirp.bsky.social · 6mo ago

I wrote about the findings from the inquiry about the impact of the pandemic on the NHS, and the mistakes of the first year. I hope it makes you angry - it should make us all angry. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

"we are at risk of losing both the argument and the election. But it doesn’t have to be this way – it’s time to take back control." Thank you @stellacreasy.bsky.social. if only the cabinet were listening...

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

More reasons to respond to this consultation www.gov.uk/government/c... which also uses the illegal migrant terminology.

Earned settlement

The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

The Home Office now describes asylum seekers as "illegal immigrants [living in hotels]" with no reference to the reason that these people are in government-funded accommodation is that this government has taken & will process the asylum claim from them in 98-99% of cases of unauthorised entry.
