NEU staff are on strike today and tomorrow.

We can’t beleive it’s come to this. Striking as a trade union worker requires an absurd amount of things to go wrong — because you spend everyday making the union you love the kind of organisation people want to join - you only ever want to see it win.

We're shocked by Trump and Musk's antics because we judge them against the idea that governments should serve the people. But they have no such intention. Government for them is simply about seizing power and wealth.
Let's stop being shocked, and build a global, democratic counter-movement.

Kids deserve love, Kids Company deserves justice | Good Law Project A personal reflection by Jo Maugham on why we are supporting the judicial review to fully restore Kids Company’s reputation.

Before she died, having been cleared by the Metropolitan Police and High Court, Camila Batmanghelidjh wrote asking me to help her judicially review the Charity Commission. I am very pleased, at last, to be able to say 'yes.'

This case has powerful personal resonances for me. goodlaw.social/b8yu

Instead, we now have a TUC facilitated Alliance for Trans and Non-Binary Rights and a trade union movement will trans supportive policy.

In the bin you go WPUK — The far right side of history.

Some will say it had success because of where the public discourse is on trans rights — yes, it did aid the far rights politics of division. It did increase hatred of trans people. But it did not win the trade union movement over.

Good riddance to a horrible supremacist organisation that sought to take hold of the UK trade union movement and failed.

‘Woke’ didn’t lose the US election: the patrician class who hijacked identity politics did | Nesrine Malik Why is this simple explanation being so widely embraced? Because it does not require a commitment to real, structural change, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

“It’s far more straightforward to blame an abstract “wokeness” than to reckon with the fact that Harris ran a broadly right-of-centre campaign and still lost”

Hey everyone, this is my first post. The transphobia and general hate on Twitter / X is just too much. Hope this space is better than that.
