At 7:30am I will be undergoing a surgery to remove half my jaw due to a tumor, Ameloblastoma. I will be having facial reconstruction at the same time. Please pray for me.

I want to be honest about how we’ve got to a place where British billpayers are paying some of the highest energy costs in Europe. Over the past 40 years, we’ve given up control of our necessities, outsourced our essentials and privatised the basics. Water, transport, housing. And of course, energy. Now the public are paying the price. We haven’t invested in the infrastructure we need. Conflict overseas has pushed up energy costs and it’s hurting our businesses and families. That’s why we need to take back greater control of our energy system. This week, I announced Great British Grid, which will speed up connections and push down bills. We’re also giving mayors, local leaders and communities a stronger role. With funding for People’s Power projects, communities will be able to build solar panels on libraries and town halls, hydro schemes in rivers or publicly owned windfarms on local land. But it’s not just energy we need stronger public control over. It’s also water, housing, transport and care. So we’re repealing the ban on public ownership of water companies. We’re building more council homes than this country has seen since the end of World War Two. We’re reforming the leasehold system so families aren’t squeezed for every penny. And we’re opening up home ownership for first time buyers who can’t rely on the bank of mum and dad. This week I also announced my determination to introduce a National Care Service, to put people above profit and to give pensioners peace of mind. Together, we’ll rewire the country from top to bottom so that it works for all people in all places. That is the only way to put Britain back on the right path. It’s the only way to put power back in people’s hands. And it’s the only way we will bring hope again.

When a university says that it's going to 'save money' by 'restructuring', it means that it's going to sack lots of people, nudge lots of people into voluntary severance, and this 'restructuring' is actually going to cost millions.

It’s not a ‘new person in town with new ideas’. It’s a coercively controlling bully who ruins the lives of everyone it touches but you can’t bring yourself to tell it to leave because it’s convinced you you’re nothing without it. Call me a Luddite but I’m fine living AI free.

@lizslayed do you want to start a campaign? In which case let’s discuss it. You’re right. If members’ goodwill goes they might as well give up!
