Sunday Mail front page: Starmer declares war on benefits Britain

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.

It's definitely quite striking to compare Bluesky and X side by side. I was painfully aware of the ads, algo-pushed content and filler clogging up my feed, with increasingly far-right content seeming to be in front of me. This is much lighter on the brain.

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.

I have a lot of sympathy for farmers who do hard work in difficult circumstances.

But public services are crumbling, including in the countryside.

It's right to ask some of the wealthiest landowners to pay a bit more tax.

Do get in touch if you’re working on stories/interviews and I can be useful (background, info, spokes, comment, etc)
