THREAD. This blog is apparently the best that the IBL can do on the UUK offer. So let me explain why it is wrong. I focus here on the blatant factual inaccuracies rather than judgement calls, on which reasonable disagreement is possible.

7.2: "the 2017 valuation would effectively, be put on hold while an independent expert panel reviews USS’s valuation methodology and its claims that there is a deficit." /2
WRONG. The USS trustees have said that the latest (Nov 2017) valuation remains live until "new material evidence" is supplied, and tPR has not said it will waive the June 30 deadline. /3
In the spirit of #reviseandresubmit I have updated my earlier flowchart on our options in the @ucu ballot to try to reflect some of the discussions that followed the previous version. As before this is my personal interpretation of info collected by others and is not necessarily 
accurate or complete. It has become more complicated than the previous version. Remember, it is important that we each arm ourselves with a range of evidence and opinions and not rely on any single source or apparent Twitter sage (especially me - I'm no expert here). #USSstrike
For transparency, I am currently leaning strongly towards #RejectUUKdeal as it stands, so while I have tried to be neutral I cannot guarantee that I have been - i'm only human after all. Although Twitter tests me on that from time to time. @cardiffucu @ucu @UCL_UCU @USSbriefs
