UK Government: Keep your promise to protect workers Zero hours contracts, unfair ‘fire and rehire’, waiting months or even years to be able to access benefits – the world of work in our country is weighted against actual workers. It’s billionaire bosse...

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!

I know whom I’d prefer to kill.

I know. I cannot help it. There are more of them than us.

Oh yes, of course. You have a point. But life is too short to live in fear of Bill Gates and Elon Musk…

I’m not scared. I’m demoralised.

Given the popularity of the far right in the UK, I think I can safely say that we on the Left are doomed unless we mobilise, and quickly. 100,000 markers with Elon Musk and Steve Bannon backing them gives me a feeling of being very much in the minority. Sigh.

I am so depressed and have been for months almost non stop. I signed up for therapy but that has fallen through. Any other suggestions to help this awful misery are most welcome. Thank you.

Singing at a funeral for the late Daniel Kingshill, musician, fantastic, humble human being and friend. RIP. 😰

Had an awful day from start to finish (random unprovoked verbal abuse, no buses, taxi couldn’t find place where I was meant to be working, went somewhere for a meeting which was online only). On route home now and hoping I have not been burgled, or get mugged. Sigh.

I think the word you are searching for to describe the vibe is “evil?”

Time for something completely different?

Hope? What is that? Every day has been more or less the same since the end of April. Misery, negativity, rejections. I wish I weren’t alive many days.

Please. Be Careful! OMG.

And that’s just in the last two hours. Not to mention no access to any food since yesterday. In 90 degree F heat. Sorrow? Definitely… 😰😰😰

The “one for sorrow, two for joy” rhyme has always applied to me. I saw one baby magpie crossing the road this morning. Since then: wasted a trip to the job centre, event at the library cancelled, wasted £25.00 in travel costs, waiting up to an hour for a delayed train, two more job rejections. Sigh

Sigh. I feel so hopeless… The world is regressing.

As an ex New Yorker, this warms my ❤️

UBI? If they cared enough. But they don’t.

Well, a potential new job to apply for appeared in my inbox, a potential pre interview phone call later today, and a half day help session with IMAX and the DWP (😄) and my rather low, near suicidal spirits have been held in check. At least for now..

Assisted dying… if the so called safeguards are not put in place, I’m getting in the queue. Probably later this year/next year. I’ve had it. Hardly any respite from misery since April. Relentless bad news. Not worth it. Sigh.

Just so folks can see the type of advertising on the #assisteddying. I can’t for the life of me understand how MPs can’t see why this is a risk to vulnerable people, particularly mentally ill. This to me seems coercive.

@jeremycorbyn.bsky.social -not sure if the man himself will see this, but if he does, I would really appreciate it if he could please spare me two minutes of his time, when our paths cross next, as I consider him to be terrific catalyst and role model, and my life is falling apart atm. Thanks.

Ok, Paula, thank you. If I can get the day off I want to be there on the 20th.

I have been waiting for life to improve for me since the death of Mike Peters at the end of April. But every day is the same, more rejection, more bad news. I went to an online disability rally and was totally ignored. Beginning to lose the will to live a wee bit.

Could my life get much worse? Wait, don’t answer that. TBH sometimes I’d prefer to be martyred in Gaza whilst trying to feed Palestinian children, than to lead this profoundly depressing and meaningless existence from thousands of miles away… sigh🍉🇵🇸😰

I cannot remember a time I felt less hopeful about my future, apart from in 1984, when I was convinced my life was over and was talked out of it by a wonderful human being who was laid to rest last week… 💔💔😰😰
