🧵My book “Friends of Israel: the Backlash against Palestine Solidarity” was published yesterday. Firstly, hell NO it’s not “objective” - I’ve spent time in the occupied West Bank and seen the brutality of Israeli apartheid first hand. versobooks.com/books/3993-fri…

📣📣HOT OFF THE PRESS, a new report from @timeshighered shows just how 𝐛𝐚𝐝 things are getting with @QMUL's boycott-busting tactics. Students getting "very basic" feedback that is "word for word" identical to what other students have received.

Boycott-busting @QMUL markers blasted for “basic” feedback: one-word responses such as “excellent” and “perfect” have been given to those taking assessments. @TWilliamsTHE reports bit.ly/3tH1Iei

If I were a student whose work was being marked by random people with no expertise in the field I would totally sue. As tutors we design syllabi, prepare students through clear feedback on formative assessments. Don’t pretend that we can just be replaced for the final grading.

Paying outside staff with no familiarity with the course content to mark essays would massively undermine academic standards and would devalue @QMUL degrees. Students deserve better. 3/13

Anna from our group nearly died escaping to UK, her brother was saved from drowning by men like those that @pritipatel demonises. She won refugee status, confirming her life was at risk in home country. Patel’s cruelty knows no bounds. #SackPritiPatel tinyurl.com/45e67sym

See our opinion piece against #PoliceCrackdownBill, which ‘would end the right to protest by giving police unprecedented powers to ban “noise or disruption”, criminalise “trespass”, increase stop and search, and seize phones.’ @HamandHigh hamhigh.co.uk/news/women-aga…
