The Certification Officer has issued his decision in Blake & McGaughey v UCU. My initial response is here: vickyblakeucu.uk/2026/03/31/t...
I urge members to read the full ruling rather than relying on the summary emailed to all members by HQ today. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69cbcb...

@ewanmg.bsky.social and I continue to represent our own case in this process
Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.
Starmer is an extreme centrist, though the centre is now firmly on the right
Well, it was a good win in Gorton and Denton
A 26.4% swing from Labour to Green. Huge and historic.
When a trade union management chose to ignore the first two of those three words, this is what happens. Meanwhile, trade unionists will continue to stand with fellow workers. Solidarity with @uniteucu.bsky.social

Our members will not tolerate victimisation and won’t be intimidated.
UCU staff are not the enemy. It’s beyond time for the GS to talk to us.

Reform? Restore? Regurgitated, Rancid, Racist Revulsion.
It looks like Alba have disintegrated in exactly the same manner in which they have carried on for the last few years, in shambolic communication, internal feuding and bitter factionalism bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/02/21/t...

This is what a picket line looks like... nice work @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social - enjoy the rest and we go again in March, unless bosses @northumbriauni.bsky.social feel like talking (we always do!) @andylong6.bsky.social
Jo Grady’s first election manifesto where she says she wants the GS to be more accountable to members
Staff aren’t allowed to say they’re on strike.
UCU members aren’t allowed to mention it to strike-breaking staff.
Regional committees can’t talk about it.
The NEC can’t talk about it.
Congress can talk about it but motions are declared out of order.
Is this the accountability Jo was meaning?
