I finally finished my PhD corrections only took 2 years on top of the 3 pre-viva. My research looks at Universal Credit, Social Harm & Social Reproduction. I used qualitative longitudinal interviews, participant diary entries & autoethnography. See here repository.derby.ac.uk/item/qy2z3/und…

SICK of people saying they want the old UK back. We ALL do. WE want same day GP appointments, ambulances within mins, dentists, a decent police force, good education, affordable food, clean water ways, BUT it’s not migrants who caused this. It was 14 YEARS of Tory austerity!

Academics will wait 25 months for an email that begins, "dear extremely unsuccessful applicant"

As someone works in human rights, I’ve never seen anything like the Epstein files in my 15-year career Raped Cannibalized Trafficked Filmed Terrorized Tortured Murdered 13, 14, 15 year children ZERO arrests I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now

MPs and much of the media have spun a false narrative about tonight’s Universal Credit vote. The PIP pause has created the myth the government has fully u-turned on its disability cuts. But £2 billion is about to be pulled from the sickest and poorest people in the country.

Bank Holidays don’t tank the economy. In fact, they do the opposite. - An extra day supporting local businesses. - An extra day bringing workers back from the brink of burnout. Now imagine if we all had 52 of them. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

This working class woman, after 40 years in the Labour Party, was disciplined & banned by them from standing for County Council. Because she spoke out about the Winter Fuel Allowance. She resigned. Today she took the seat from the Labour Group Leader ✊

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.
