  1. It needed the publication of Prof Wendy Alexander's written evidence* to the Education, Children and Young People Committee regarding the #DundeeUni crisis for me to learn my #WordOfTheDay

    I find wanting to "have your cake and eat it" a great phrase. It definitely required a noun 😂

    See an example of use 👇

  2. "Starmer: Reset with EU will not reverse Brexit"

    Sounds like it will be about as successful as my plan to lose weight, which will not reverse my cake consumption.

  3. @alexproe @hengymrohebwlad Yes, I see rejoining as a 20-year-ish project. Rejoining the SM or CU (or both) would be a good first step. At the moment, Starmer is saying he plans to do neither.

    I think his plan to ease trade has something to do with cake.

  4. CW: UCU

    It drives me around the bend that union members are so ambivalent and willing to let management lie with statistics. 🤬

    Which is also I have no patience for the #cakeism of our union's #SWP contingent as they sell unicorns 🦄 to sector in profound financial distress.

    Argument by assertion.....

    What is beneficial is trade on mutually agreed terms. There is no question of #cakeism but if the #UK is prepared to listen to what the #EU wants in order to smooth trade, and agree to some of those requirements, there will be benefits.

  6. @MartinFarrent @gotofritz @MimiJ9

    #cakeism was a mirage conjured up by the #fatController that never existed, and does not now get referenced often - even by #planks like #reesMogg

    There is only one way to salvage some of what we lost with #brexit - cooperate wth the #EU and agree #alignment to mutual benefit

    No chance of that with the #toriesOut in power

  7. CW: UK politics. Budget.

    I'm no healthcare expert, but I have a sneaking suspicion that if the government wants Scandinavian levels of service from the NHS then it will have to invest Scandinavian levels of money, which will have to come from Scandinavian levels of tax. You pays your money, you takes your choice.
