@EwanTCarmichael Congratulations Ewan. Hope to meet you at some point.

Delighted to share that I’ve been appointed to the inaugural Board of Qualifications Scotland, the body replacing the SQA. Really looking forward to engaging with the wider sector as the organisation begins operations in February 💛 gov.scot/publications/p…

This is the last day of SQA. On Monday we will be named Qualifications Scotland. Our work will remain as it always has. Supporting our members and fighting to retain and improve jobs, terms and conditions. Join a union. You’re going to need us.

An Injury To All: The Unmaking of the British Working Class will be published by Verso in October! Today I submitted responses to last comments from my editor and worked on the blurb. It's getting closer and closer!

There's power in a union. #TheTraitors

In letter declining proposed award, Tressa Burke, CEO of Glasgow Disability Alliance, accused government of ‘fuelling hatred’ theguardian.com/world/2025/dec…

"I am writing this letter to thank you for the proposed award of Member of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year 2026 Honours List for services to disabled people and to let you know that regrettably, I must decline at this time..." read Tressa Burke's full letter sent.

This how it’s done. Tressa Burke is a Principled woman

Good. New leader says Unison will end support for ‘destructive’ Labour right wing | Unison | The Guardian theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/d…

What if CEO's had to pitch to workers?

Quote of the day. #QOTD

Andrea Jenkyns just said public sector workers should be denied the right to strike - even though it’s a fundamental human liberty. So much for being the workers’ party. - @nowak_paul on #bbcaq

@hughesnickj @kh4nieee @RMTunion So why don’t you do it then? You get £80k a year according to the right

Rather like your opinions, our Tube network is Victorian, Rupert. Furthermore, it is not just tube drivers taking action on fatigue but all grades. With 2,000 fewer tube staff post-COVID our members are working more extreme shifts to deliver the 5m daily passenger journeys.

Out now: @TesScotland speaks to new SQA boss, Nick Page He talks about qualifications reform; if the levies paid by councils can remain fixed; why Qualifications Scotland "can't be a rebrand"; and why it's "sensible" to review accreditation in 2 years tes.com/magazine/news/…

Our management and Scottish Government have strung us along for nearly a year. We’ve been reasonable and patient but enough is enough unitetheunion.org/news-events/ne…

Staff at SQA still don’t have a pay rise despite entering into pay negotiations nearly a year ago. We have been strung along and treated with the usual contempt by SG. Our members won’t stand for it. New organisation. Same nonsense
