The Trump administration has effectively ended white-collar crime enforcement. All this week, we're going to look at what ripoffs, deceptions, and cons will rise as a result to part the public from their money. This intro sets the stage: it's the Golden Age of Scams.

The proposed 39 redundancies will devastate the Faculty of Education & Social Sciences who I have worked closely with over the years on a #RightToFood I urge the management of ⁦Liverpool Hope University⁩ can reconsider these damaging cuts. ✍️ the petition 👇 change.org/p/stop-compuls…

Today marks 8 years since the Grenfell Tower fire, when 72 people needlessly died because of corporate greed and deceit. Every year, I am moved by the resolve, kindness and humanity of the community. 8 years on, we are still fighting for justice.

Mass redundancies won’t just ruin lives, they will wreck UK universities’ global reputation. As Nick Megoran of Newcastle University UCU newcastleucu.bsky.social writes, cuts aren’t just short-sighted, they’re self-destructive. ✊ Join UCU and Fight back. #ucu #STOPtheCUTS timeshighereducation.com/opinion/mass-r…

It turns out the UK media is also full of fear-mongering propaganda in service of surveillance, punishment, and repression. Tonight we're in Liverpool for the final event on the first Copaganda UK tour. Come talk about it with us!

Why are venture capitalists being allowed to profit from prison education? The govt urgently needs to confirm these profiteers will not be allowed to line their pockets by slashing our members’ pensions. Thank you Brian Leishman for raising this in parliament.
