The community resistance against the Home Office snatching people from their homes in Pollockshields is beautiful to see. Raids happen all the time up and down the country so make sure you’ve got a copy of this leaflet

I’ve got a lot of respect for colleges taking matters into their own hands and cancelling BTEC exams in lieu of any sort of government guidance. It’s almost like educators and students know what’s best for them and what’s safest ...

Drake’s a huge student area - this is maybe what happens when you roll back your HE fees position days before an election…
Drake (Plymouth) council election result:
IND: 49.1% (+5.1)
LAB: 38.1% (-6.6)
GRN: 7.6% (+7.6)
CON: 2.2% (-3.1)
TUSC: 1.6% (+0.2)
LDEM: 1.5% (-3.2)
Independent GAIN from Labour.
