Kearney - Gilhooley

As a lawyer I'm seeing a lot more redundancies in 2025. I can't stress this enough, if you are being made redundant - GET A FUCKING LAWYER. I keep hearing of people getting unfair consultations and being ripped off in their redundancy packages. We would have spotted them for you.

'Just getting started': Zack Polanski reacts as Greens SECOND in new poll ZACK Polanski has welcomed a new poll putting his party in second place at Westminster.

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform....

Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally.

It's time for Proportional Representation.

"Amazing result for Plaid Cymru, so here's a guest from Reform anyway..."

Absolutely extraordinary.

Thank you everyone.

This is the movement.

Very quick update on Covid in England Covid wave has possibly peaked and flu looks like it's starting early

Very quick update on Covid in England from latest UKHSA hospital data. Looks like current Covid wave *might* have peaked, and also that flu season is starting a little earlier than normal.

If you can get vaxxed for either, I'd do it!

Carole Cadwalladr was right and we’d be in a better world if more people had listened.

What is horrifying to me is that none of this is crazy, impossible to implement policy. Just stuff that used to be normal

Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Oh.

Instead of mascots, England and Wales take to the field with 22 men and women who are living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia ❤️

The players will also wear shirts without names in the second half to help raise awareness 👏

OMG this is who we are

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Welling up

... literally cleaning up British sh*t before I even lived here. Don't like that wording? Well, it is what care work often involves. And much of the care work in the UK relies on migrants - working and volunteering. And yet: none of this is ever enough. Year after year, Govt after Govt ...

Tanja, this is a fantastic thread, if desperately depressing.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Support powerful citizen journalism - we need it now, more than ever At a time when billionaires and oligarchs own the majority of our press, when local journalism is in decline, and social media is rife with misinformation and abuse, there has never been a greater nee...

If, like us, you're frustrated with vapid MSM never tackling the real issues with authentic voices -

- then do back the Bylines Network to bring a new type of grassroots media into the landscape, with monthly 300,000-400,000 article reads & millions of social media + search engine impressions. 💪

In his response he called Full Fact a: "propaganda machine for big pharma."

He replied, labelling us a “propaganda machine for big pharma.” Public debate needs facts. We will always follow the evidence without fear or favour, and we will never be impartial about facts. Full check 👉 fullfact.org/health/aseem... (2/2)

NHS staff vote to strike in outsourcing row, says UNISON

Labour promised us 'the biggest wave of insourcing of public services in a generation.'

Some @unison NHS staff are seeing the exact opposite, with plans to shift them to worse contracts with a private provider.

Labour must make good on its insourcing promise and keep our #NHS public.

After he explained (at length) the kafka-esque process of trying to rent a flat without a utility bill to prove his identity, when the only way he could have obtained this utility bill would have been by renting a flat, I began to wonder whether an ID card would not in fact be a better solution.

Free speech @economist.com

Bolsanaro, Sarkozy… come on Johnson I’ve got you in an accumulator.

Morning 🌅

❤️ I hope you will do something lovely in his memory ❤️

Quick reminder that we have warned for ages that Starmer+Streeting’s NHS plans didn’t hold water, because they’ve withheld the actual funds to realise them.

Here’s what will happen next- the media will wring hands, then insist that private capital is both necessary and urgent🚨

What is the point of inquiries? The UK needs a stronger, more efficient system for ensuring that recommendations from inquiries are implemented to avoid repeated failures, writes Christina Pagel The UK Covid-19 Inquiry has just pu...

For me the PPE scandal exposes the politicians whose first thoughts were to try and make as much money as possible, FOR THEMSELVES, out of the global pandemic, rather than how can I help the country and the world survive this.
Also a reminder of @chrischirp.bsky.social 's paper on Public enquiries
