God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments.
Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation.
That’s his plan for the rest of us.

I had abdominal surgery two weeks ago, cannot even imagine how much it would have cost me, even if there was insurance. and...they felt like paying for it.
In America, on my pension, I would just have had to carry on with the pain.

Everyone please value your #NHS.

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too.

But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing.

He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him.

Some good political news for once.

Makes me like Portuguese people even more.

A group of hotel housekeepers went on strike for the first time in 40 years.

And won!

Organising works. Trade unions work.

This is the story of @uvwunion.bsky.social & the amazing Doris.

Well that's one printing firm I won't ever be using. If they can't get a simple 'flyer' printed properly.

Also, I'm not sure how this could be the fault of the printer: the client supplies a print-ready pdf. The printer doesn't add or subtract anything from that; it's a complete document. The printer literally just, you know, prints it.

2019 more people voted for parties promising a new referendum than those against. FPTP gave us Boris Johnson with a majority.

Our electoral system, which we are told is absolutely awesome, gave the shitgibbon a mandate for a hard brexit.

The voters however. Too many wasted votes in our system

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are brilliant, compassionate, and patriotic Americans—classy, smart, and inspiring.

President Obama and the First Lady set a powerful example by prioritizing family, dignity, and public service above all.

Exactly 💯

Any politician who has the guts to make the rich pay for their crimes against humanity will have the backing of the people! If no politician will lead, the people will!

I cannot over-emphasize how important it will be for people to make a plan to vote early in-person this year.

Wish there was something like this near me!

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

Reform UK's Epstein links show this is no party of the people Reform treasurer Nick Candy was - at least - a close business associate of Epstein: the party won't be able to shake this association easily

Reform UK’s Epstein links show this is no party of the people

Another fuckin' TWat.

In 1972, Idi Amin expelled 50–80k Asians from Uganda. With them gone, Uganda went from a relatively prosperous economy to one where businesses collapsed, trade froze, and the economy tanked—and it still hasn’t recovered to this day.

Farage would do the same to us.

Fight! Fuck Bezos. The Washington Post can and must rise again.

NEW: Trump's coup is almost complete. And the attack on the press is a central piece of it. Bezos's gutting of the Washington Post cannot be allowed to be just another blip in the news cycle.

We are all going to have to fight for a free and independent press.

THE ROLLING STONES outside 102 Edith Grove - Chelsea (where Brian, Mick & Keith shared a flat).

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How did we get to this? A man so disgusting, morally vacuous and intellectually challenged, has so much power to cause misery, death, incite racism and hatred and publicly show his malign depravity like this. He’s not fit to be in the same space as The Obamas. How shameful, ugly and scary.
