🚨 BREAKING: Starmer has officially dumped Labour's promise to recognise Palestine as a state. Previously, Labour had said it would recognise Palestine as a state unilaterally. Now, Labour will only recognise Palestine if it "is acceptable to the state of Israel".

Proud that my union branch has written to Hebrew University calling for the reinstatement of Palestinian feminist academic Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian. Her suspension is an attack on the right to oppose state violence and genocide. Nadera deserves our solidarity.

Will any UK university leader condemn this educide & killing of +94 academic colleagues in Gaza & work to ensure that UK universities are not complicit with genocide in Gaza? Will they even call for a #ceasefireNOW . Is it too much to ask that university leaders do what is right?

I wrote a review of @saramsalem 's brilliant 'Anticolonial Afterlives in #Egypt ' :

Review – Anticolonial Afterlives in Egypt: The Politics of Hegemony

Using the work of Antonio Gramsci and Franz Fanon, Salem's book analyses postcolonial Egypt and explores how the failures of this period contributed to the 2011 revolution.

@APowellLaw I am not part of a faction; it does not sound like a good idea to pause action until you have concrete proposals to put to members. I don’t trust the employers. And I also don’t think that the GS should be the one to make a decision on pausing the strikes.
