Thank you to @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social for hosting our joint rally.
It was lovely to BEE there.
To talk about the ELEPHANT in the room (1000s of rooms in 100s of building, UoE!) - there is money, but not for Education, not for staff.
Thank you to our incredible students for speaking.

Our Fair deal Flamingo, Worker BEE, and Complusory Chicken might be full of hot air but they are not as inflated as the SSR figures HWU put out this week to justify keeping CR to get rid of a tiny number of staff.
No compulsory redundancy

Day 5 on the Pickets.
Our employer has nothing new to say & so is not talking.
So there is nowhere else we would rather BEE than with our colleagues in the sun.
We are indefatigable and INFLATABLE, unlike Heriot-Watt University who have let themselves down.

Another EGG-cellent day on the Pickets. Student sign makers out in force.
We could not BEE anymore pleased with our RAWRsome inflatables who have done more for staff morale in a few hours than Heriot-Watt has all year.

Reform’s billionaire backers want to fill Holyrood with MSPs that will do their bidding.
@scottishgreens.org are different.
Our MSPs are not for sale. We don’t have billionaires or oil and gas barons writing our policies. Our donations come from ordinary people like you.
What a result! Just over two months until Holyrood where there is a decent chance that Greens will win their first ever constituency in Scotland. Both votes Green on 7th May please!

The UK Labour government is plunging 250,000 people into poverty with their cruel cuts.
Poverty isn't inevitable, it's a political choice.
It's time for real change. It's time to tax the rich.
The switch to 20mph roads in Wales meant:
🟢 100 fewer dead or seriously injured
🟢 26% fewer injured
🟢 The lowest 3 month casualty figure since records began 46 years ago
That's in just the first year. Real lives saved, real families spared a lifetime of pain and hardship.
