Omar Hassan's reports from Syria are essential reading. Despite the challenges, there is currently a space for the forces of the Syrian left to come together, organise, and grow. As he notes: "Pessimism is a privilege reserved for those who stand aside from the battle for life".

An interesting analysis from Red Network on the evolution and current state of People Before Profit (PBP). In the absence of a programme, they argue PBP is incapable of integrating struggles for reform with wider demands for revolutionary change. I agree. Let's discuss programme.

I will be backing Rhiannon Lockley (@illdoitanyway) for UCU Vice-President and the wider @UcuLeft slate. It is crucial that the union leadership we elect will fight to defend post-16 education, respect democratic mandates, and seek to build a combative, member-led union.
