Nigel Farage Says Minimum Wage Should Be Cut for Young People The Reform leader said cutting the minimum wage for young people would boost business, as he attacked plans to raise taxes on the wealthy

So Nigel Farage, who spent a huge chunk of his speech today attacking plans to raise even the slightest of taxes on the wealthy, thinks one of the biggest problems facing the UK is that young people on the minimum wage are being paid too much

I want to see changes to the Lords but it's notable that unless I've missed something we've got a stronger statement and response to Elon Musk's dangerous comments on UK politics from a Labour member of the House of Lords than from the Prime Minister of a member of his cabinet.

Entirely absent from the chuntering about the EHRC's Statutory Guidance is one simple fact: no one knows what the Supreme Court decision means (including The Times 👇).

It will take a decade of litigation - against businesses, sports associations, local authorities, schools etc - to sort it out.

Stéphanie Dit....* * @StephanieJaneG6 What's the matter @janeclarejones ? Feeling that your 'victory' of hate over trans people is proving pyrrhic? The worst 'enemy' is the one you create that has no other choice but to keep fighting. Hope you're in this for the long haul, bcos we are! And this trans woman says 'No!' Dr. Jane Clare Jones O Follow @janeclarejones We are exhausted. And everyone I know just wants this to be over so we can get back to getting on with the shit we want to be getting on with. But the response over the last 4 weeks has made it | abundently clear that the trans rights movement has no intention of taking no for an answer. We have one group of people demanding that women hand over their legal existence, their rights, their language, their analysis, and their political movement. We have another group of people saying no. If you think that the end of this should come by unrelentingly pressuring those people's 'no' until they submit, you are in the domination business.

Oh, I made sure she knew she couldn’t win.

As Robin White always said that hansard files should have looked to find out what the Parliament had been debating at the time. The SC judge, Lord Hodge, has destroyed the lives trans commities. As Robin suggests that it is easy for the government to sort this mess out

This can only be understood as being part of a large scale general attack on trans people on a broad front, with motivations that are simultaneously hidden and unevidenced, and which are accompanied by dangerous precedents for the human rights of everyone.

Brexit: Nigel Farage only turned up to one of 42 EU fisheries committee meetings | Descrier News Nigel Farage sailed a boat down the Thames yesterday in an attempt to highlight the plight of British fishermen, conveniently forgetting that he did nothing to protect the industry while on the EU fis...

Not to forget his MEP pension of £75,000 on the basis of his hard work in representing the UK on the EU Fisheries Commission. Poor dear must have been soul destroying attending all ….. 1 meeting of the 42 they had !

AOC, "Elon Musk is not a scientist, he is not an engineer. He is a billionaire conman with a lot of money"

Can you imagine any Labour MP saying this?

PCS leadership censured for evasions on trans rights Motion A21 at the 2019 conference of civil service union PCS dealt with the leadership's approach to trans rights. (See the motions document, p12.) In 2017 and 2018 conference voted to support amendme...

He's so transphobic in his own right that he was censured for refusing to follow through on the trans inclusive will of the union too: www.workersliberty.org/story/2019-0...

Mark Serwotka isn’t ONLY a transphobe, he’s literally married to the founder of Woman’s Place UK

“Your“ Party is doomed to repeat the same mistakes as the British Left over and over because the red carpet is continually rolled out for people who’s only job seems to be to wreck campaigns

Frankly neither of them are trustworthy or competent so it could be anywhere.

Emily 4 (short-lived) PM 💅

Of course, a government with courage and integrity would use its majority to pass short legislation to correct the mess made by the Supreme Court.

But I’m not holding my breath …

Already out of the door, shutting it impolitely loudly on the way out.

Equality commission’s guidance after sex ruling is fundamentally unworkable | Letter Letters: The EHRC has ignored warnings about the contradiction between possibly being sued for challenging someone’s gender versus being sued for failing to, says Rachel Taylor MP

“MPs’ problem with the EHRC guidance was not that it failed to address every conceivable scenario, but that it set out fundamentally unworkable instructions to businesses that go far beyond what the supreme court actually ruled, and which places them at risk of costly litigation.” - Rachel Taylor MP

The far right bigots who label people ´foreigners’ don’t care when they or their ancestors arrived in the UK - if they are less than blindingly white, they will always be foreigners to these racists!

Samir Zitouni

Bloody foreigners coming over here and saving peoples lives.

Always be wary of politicians insisting that the only way to truly “take back control” is to remove our rights and freedoms. We lose our protection from abuses of power while our country loses trust and influence on the world stage. That’s not control. It’s weakness.

i still struggle to comprehend that it’s 2025 and the government is ignoring decades and decades of fully peer-reviewed medical science in favour of some nonsense cooked up by anti-lgbt+ bigots who work for christian evangelical groups.

labour are disgusting.

Bugger. It shouldn’t have aged so well or so quickly.

The words ‘right’ ‘think’ and ‘understand ‘ are rarely seen together.

trying to understand Reform arguments again, and as far as I can tell, it's that Muslims refuse to integrate or take part in British civic or public life, and also that there's too many of them involved in British politics, on British television, and generally in, erm, British civic & public life.

I’m mindful of the judgement here at the EAT.

In this Tribunal at Appeal the nationalist lost. Why is this different for Lennon? Which Court has greater jurisdiction? And why should Criminal Law apply an Employment Law principle like Grainger?

We’re being treated like idiots by the Courts.

European Movement signatories on a first draft of the ECHR. Credit: ECHR

75 years ago today, the European Convention of Human Rights, ECHR, was created. The UK played a key role in shaping it.
We should celebrate the ECHR & the vision of all who brought it to life.
We must resist regressive & cynical moves to rip us out of the convention!

Congrats to British transphobia on successfully getting far-right beliefs protected by the legal system by making the bar for "worthy of respect" so low the devil could dance over it

⚠️ Warning to any younger people working or about to enter the workforce, Nigel Farage thinks you are worth less than the minimum wage

#MinimumWage

There's an argument that MPs paid the best part of £100K a year should only have one job and do that fucking job for their constituents instead of grandstanding, licking Trump's arse, fluffing Putin's dick and spreading disinformation.

Louder for those in the back of the room.
