Vindicated & reinstated. 115 days later and thanks to amazing solidarity from around the world, Goldsmiths has confirmed that there is "no case to answer" against me & @gkhiabany for doing our job & supporting our students. Off to the pub now...

There's a jobs crisis in our universities but also a crisis around how we respond. There's a helpful motion in the article which branches can pass to support those at the sharp(est) end & to bring everyone together in a campaign to defend HE provision

If you're in London on Tuesday 4 March, please come to this joint book launch to celebrate the new edition of the classic media text "Power Without Responsibility" & a new edited volume of critical reflections on PWR @UniWestPress @routledgebooks @UoW_CAMRI @MediaComGold

So happy to take part in and speak at an amazing if wet protest in the capital of Essex in solidarity with the people of #Gaza. This movement is not going away.

Essex folk - this is happening tomorrow in Chelmsford. Please come.

It takes Trump’s disgusting call for ethnic cleansing for mainstream journalism suddenly to remember that there’s a history of expulsion & occupation in relation to #Gaza. Where has the Nakba been for the last 16 months?

Goodbye and thank you @KayBurley for giving us magical moment of picket line education

Ethnic cleansing is currently being referred to in headlines as · US takeover of Gaza (BBC) · Displacement of Palestinians (FT) · Gaza takeover plan (NYT) · Trump owning Gaza (WSJ) · Resettlement plan (Sky News) · Develop Gaza under US control (WaPo) The absolute cowardice of it.

This is how @BBCNews is currently choosing to cover Trump’s plan to kick Palestinians out of #Gaza: as resettled, not purged, expelled, ethnically cleansed. Not even in quote marks. They blithely go on about how language matters and then use the words of the occupiers…

A meeting on the huge grass roots protest movement in Serbia that is shaking the government. It's been going on for 3 months and the media have finally started to wake up to the fact there's a mass popular revolt in the heart of Europe. @MediaComGold

Yes please!

Really looking forward to speaking at this next weekend along with @andrewfeinstein @AmyAbdelnoor & more. Protest is the most effective way to organise solidarity with #Gaza and to hold our own government to account for the fact they’re still arming Israel @PSCChelmsford

Up to 10,000 jobs to go in a sector with over £5 billion surplus since 21/22 acc to HESA. Where did all this money go? Not on staff pay for sure. How many shiny buildings and perks for vice-chancellors? A national scandal that @ucu & @nusuk have to fight

@bingle_colin @UniversitiesUK @USSpensions Absolutely. The lesson is 1) never trust glossy annual reports and 2) always look beneath the surface.

One year on from the murder of Hind Rajab and her family: "We cannot afford to move on nor to look away and a journalism that does this is part of the problem" @declassifiedUK

It seems as if the cull of university jobs is happening in slow motion but it's not - we've known that this was on the cards for over a year. Branches can't do it alone & @ucu should have launched a national campaign to defend staff & programmes. What are we waiting for?

“Take in Palestinians from Gaza”?? This is a truly shocking headline from @BBCNews in that it doesn’t highlight Trump’s explicit call for ethnic cleansing on a massive scale. Imagine the reaction if he called for another country to “take in Israelis”

Why wouldn’t @BBCr4today presenter @amolrajan ask government minister John Healey to confirm or deny reports that Keir Starmer agreed to drop support for Leveson 2 in return for Murdoch’s support at 2024 election?

Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers today admitted “incidents of unlawful activity” & splashed the cash to avoid a damaging trial but, according to Starmer’s government earlier this year, nothing to see here…

Outrageous that we’re spending more on health benefits than on weapons and armies - and of course this rubbish is repeated uncritically on this morning’s BBC News headlines.
