I've never in my life felt hope like this. I was 6 when Thatcher came to power and screwed everyone, I've never known anything other than neo liberalism and profit before people. Let's try something else, why not?!

If I contact your organisation to discuss you quoting for some work and you send me marketing emails before any response to my enquiry, guess who's going to be getting the work? Not you. FFS.

Yet she stood for a party, one of whose flagship, headline policies is to stop other refugees like her from getting in, staying here safely and thriving.

I can't believe how many articles there are in the guardian saying Polanski should resign - he's a big reason the Greens were even in contention in any of these by-elections! It's like my club Coventry finishing 2nd in the prem then saying manager should resign because they didn't win it

Its taken me more than a month to finally read something which should be taught at schools and universities, and in professional development. Thank you @iris_meredith@mastodon.social for writing this, and I hope this has some sort of ripple effect, eventually. deadsimpletech.com/blog/no-such...

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

I've spent the last two years being tortured by Tenable Nessus, and have concluded it is the MOST "Well, actually" piece of software ever made. Its relentless flagging of component vulnerabilities, the frequent false positives, its just garbage.

🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

The complete and total collapse of state function in the face of far right extremists. It is frankly ludicrous that Daniel Thomas continues to be at large given the series of crimes committed which he has literally filmed.

Labour are worried. They've had the Foreign Secretary, the Chancellor, the Mayor of London & the Prime Minister out in Holborn & St Pancras but we've got you. Hundreds of thousands of you who care & are making a difference! Donate today to help us win: donatetothe.greenparty.org.uk/london-by-el...

Totally worth it

Struggling to think how anyone living or working in a seaside community would even consider doing this to RNLI volunteers aka THEIR OWN NEIGHBOURS WHO WOULD DROP EVERYTHING TO SAVE THEM FROM DROWNING WHEN THE CALL CAME IN

Paul Nowak from the @tuc.org.uk : "I think these donations stink & the British public will be rightly asking.. what they want for their money" Wilfred Frost: "Is it a fair question what the unions want for the money you give?" "Absolutely.. decent employment rights.. investing in public services"

a great letter in the times today. perhaps worth sharing in these troubled times. #RNLI #heroes

Protesters at the Irish Open. shitler’s international golf links and hotel Doonbeg, Ireland. Thank you, Doonbeg!

OMG I've just seen my daughter's School Social Time Map, and WTF it this BS, they've implemented some sort of prison segregation system which appears to be entirely anti social/anti fun. I'm pleased to hear pupils ignore it, but really?! Is this normal in UK schools?

First big weekend starts today! The Daily Mail being completely normal about the pressure Greens are putting on Labour. Vote Green on October 8th 💚

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

shutting down two ports in two days dressed as blackshirts while smashing car windows and demanding violence against vulnerable people: legitimate concerns sitting silently next to a sign: terrorism what a cooooooooool country we live in

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

First Paris, then London. Who’s next?

Looks like we're getting GTA 6 before a Labour budget that actually tackles the cost of living crisis.

telling that periodically someone would go "man dolly parton can't really be all that" and then they'd go look into it and come back with "actually she's even better than we thought"

this is absolutely correct and the other piece of it is that there’s this little thrill they get from defending the worst views imaginable because it lets them feel like they’re deeply principled about free speech after all, the worse the views they defend the more principled they are, right?

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

If it’s too hot to work safely, you shouldn’t have to. That is why our MP Hannah Spencer is introducing a Bill for maximum workplace temperatures.

“Reform will end ‘something for nothing’ Britain.” - Nigel Farage. He receives £98,599 a year as an MP, yet for more than three months this year he didn't cast a single parliamentary vote or make a single written contribution or speech in Parliament either. But yes, let’s shout at poor people

When I see commentators using terms like “DEI” I immediately suspect that they’re trying to ignite a US inspired (and maybe funded?) culture war here. Because the acronym used in the UK is EDI - equality, diversity, inclusion - linked to the equality act 2010. www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/1...

Idk why I hate AI so much, must be something to do with my love of books, art, music, nature, knowledge, being unobserved, connection, justice, accuracy, drinkable water, breathable air, a future, the very concept of a soul…

How to win at most all things:

Every such article should trigger an automatic follow-up on the stated date, like the preregistration of a clinical trial

While this was all happening, friends and I were literally listing off senior white men who were still in post despite not being able to work with students because they're actual sex offenders.

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

We are on the front line of climate breakdown. This is an emergency and politicians must act like it. Perhaps Andy Burnham could explain the "pragmatism" of drilling in the North Sea to the residents of Worcestershire with burnt out homes. www.worcesternews.co.uk/news/...

Downing Street's press release for Burnham's "emergency" Cobra meeting on the drought didn't even mention climate, with the Prime Minister blaming the growing numbers of wildfires on disposable barbecues. He's since appeared on GB News this afternoon to talk about migrant camps
