So just seen an organisation called Dont Divide US, which seems to mainly be trying to create division within Trade Unions

2/ Stop the culture war, they say as they try and ramp it up

The antiracists are promoting fear, they say as they try to make ppl fear anyone speaking up against racism
3/ They are silencing our free speech, they say as they try and silence others free speech (wait until you see who its linked to)

4/ There's always a begging bowl with these ppl
5/ Who are the links
Academy of Ideas
Campaign for Common Sense
The Equiano Project
Free Speech Union

So another Claire Fox, Toby Young spin off, like they have no chance to air their views as they are regularly allowed to balance real experts

🧵 Amazing when RW media decide to care about SEND students

When it comes to VAT on private schools they are suddenly worried about SEND pupils, but they backed austerity, the dismantling of CAHMs real terms cuts to school budgets, and loss of 20,000 support staff mainly TAs
