As parliament debate #AccessToNature today, a personal essay.
Deep in my valley is a tree so old it makes my bones ache. There are only a handful like it in the country, and its boughs harbour some of our oldest stories.
Yet almost no-one has ever seen it. 🧵

Hi @ucu,
I’m not a lawyer but this partial performance stuff is just obviously broken. I’d hope human rights law would fix it, but…I’m not filled with confidence.
Some details.
We do action short of a strike. Most of that involves breaking our contract.

How do I signal that I support balloting on settling the USS dispute, but not the pay and conditions dispute?
A lot of people will surely share this viewpoint, given that it's obvious to everyone that we've made much more progress on USS than on pay.

And deep resentment of child 1 who is soooo smug about staying in bed.
