Who will win in Runcorn and Helsby if a by-election takes place to replace Mike Amesbury? Could Reform UK win an upset victory?

Who could win if there is a by-election in Runcorn and Helsby? We've taken a look.

We condemn the University of Cambridge's attempt to place legal restrictions on all pro-Palestine protests.

Alongside @pscupdates.bsky.social and @libertyhq.bsky.social we call out this application to the High Court for an injunction what it is: a shameful attack on basic democratic rights.

Channel 4 is a disgrace! Working with a vile right winger from the elite establishment to punch down vulnerable disabled people. This is class war and they need to take responsibility

Is ‘demoralized’ the best he could do to get the American spelling in there? 🤣

That’s pretty embarrassing admitting that. Just shows that the electorate didn’t want their guy!

We must stand shoulder to shoulder with Amazon workers all over the globe.

One of the world's richest men denying trade union rights whilst exploring it's workers is not okay.

#MakeAmazonPay

Solidarity with all Amazon workers ✊

@citysgunison.bsky.social

Yes, from UCU! ✊🏽

BlackRock is one the biggest investors in climate destruction.

BlackRock is accused of horrendous human rights abuses.

BlackRock has trillions invested in oil and arms.

BlackRock is guilty of harming indeginius communities.

Black rock represents the ugliest side of mega wealth.

This post from the PM is problematic for a number of reasons.

A thread…🧵

It's Equal Pay Day - from today until the end of the year women will effectively work for free compared to male colleagues.

Equal work should mean equal pay.

Closing the gender, disability and ethnicity pay gaps must be a priority for Government and business.

With farm owners protesting today over the prospect of paying a highly discounted inheritence tax, I'm sure you've seen quotes about how they "feed the nation".

But nobody is talking about the migrant workers who actually pick the crops on horticulture farms, so here's a short thread about them.

Benjamin Zephaniah "If you didn't have troublemakers, most women wouldn't have the right to vote, a black person wouldn't be talking to a white person and I'd be back in slavery. We need troublemakers to challenge the establishment. I want to be one of those people."

This is what we should all be protesting about. A third of children in poverty.

But protesting the requirement to pay inheritance tax gets all the bandwidth & that’s everything wrong with this country right there.

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam.

Hilarious to watch him squirm.

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉

We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

I get some people - trades people, carers - need cars but we should be working to abolish cars & replace them with high quality public transport. Car culture is the worst

Don't business with The Corbynator 🔥🔥🔥

Clarkson on The One Show, says public sector workers protesting about austerity, should be shot in front of their families.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

We need a completely new approach to local government. Councils are barely staying afloat and making cuts to libraries, youth centres and all sorts of social infrastructure because they struggle to fund social care and SEND provision. Government should directly fund these things.

BlueSky has already started censoring criticism of Israel.

Israel is literally committing genocide. To label criticism of that ‘intolerance’ is obviously absurd — and a mechanism of suppressing opposition to, and therefore emboldening, that genocide.

Do better @bsky.app.

Feminism that doesn’t include Palestinian women and girls isn’t any feminism that’s worth a damn

UK journalists talking about echo chambers when 0.2% of journalists are Black and 2.5% Asian and 51% of the most influential journalists went to private school is a bit of a joke
