.@nottspolice re the Chinese bell missing from the Arboretum, it may be helpful that I noticed its absence on 18 Jan. I took a photo.
Hope @RachelReevesMP reads, marks and inwardly digests the content! It was a pleasure working with @hstevenson10 @eddieplayfair & @DrJoGrady on this. @UoNSoE @AdultEd100 @right2_learn @Andreas_Bieler @ClancyFirefox @drkcarrutherst @ellen_boeren @EPALE_EU @FEWeek @Melissa_Benn

We are deeply concerned at the closure of People's Story. A vital part of Edinburgh's working class history.
Our General Secretary will be writing to the Council this weekend to register our protest.
We stand ready to work with those who are campaigning to reverse this decision

This looks fascinating! But Haverfordwest isn't a central location, even for Wales.

Skills England published their first paper. Good skills stuff but minimised lifelong learning to a bit of HE. While this paper really explains the power of lifelong learning. @Jacqui_Smith1 if you combine both we would have a brilliant LLL policy ucu.org.uk/article/13731/Har…

@DrJoGrady at #Lab24. Post-compulsory education needs investment now - but it also needs an optimistic and inspiring vision of how education can change lives and transform communities. Thanks to @ucu for supporting this work - and to co-authors @john_holford and @eddieplayfair

🚨🚨Stop Fire and Rehire at @OpenUniversity!
Can't believe a university with a mission for social justice would use this disgraceful tactic against staff
Our #OUFamily deserves better!
