This is why I think Labour's strategy this weekend of quiet condemnation, "legitimate concerns" and peaceful protest makes this worse. You need to make pushing that button scary for your median punter, and letting this be the BBC's question reduces that threat.

if you care about the right to organise in digital spaces (think Slack, Discord, Teams etc etc), you care about the legal battle of the Rockstar 34... donating to us as we gear up to take one of the biggest video game developers in the world to court is an act of soldiarity for the whole movement!

I suspect part of the reason ‘speaking ill of the dead’ gets the British pundit class’s hackles up is that it is unpleasant to be confronted with the uncertainty of one’s ultimate legacy, having grown accustomed a lifestyle and social set in which one is rarely made to face consequences.

Rockstar workers in @gameworkers.co.uk are determined to push union recognition over the line by whatever means necessary, so we can continue making progress on our key aims: an end to ‘crunch’, pay transparency, flexible working, and commitments to no AI or layoffs. 1/5

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

“He spoke truth to power” say the powerful, lining up to praise their favourite court jester as a brave and bold challenge to the establishment, despite him never having done a thing to threaten or unsettle said establishment. Just a grubby mirror they enjoyed seeing their worst reflections in.

NEW 🚨| 22 trade union leaders, representing more than 1.3 million workers, are calling on @rockstargames.com to stop playing games with workers' rights and recognise the @gameworkers.co.uk . Read and share the letter below 👇 #Solidarity #StrikeMap
Dear Jenn Kolbe and Rob Spampinato

Rockstar stop playing games with workers rights
 
We call on Rockstar Games to recognise the IWGB Rockstar Union.
 
The success of the video games industry comes from the efforts of its workers and it is essential that structures are created to ensure the workers have a voice in decision making. 
 
Without the Rockstar workforce, Grand Theft Auto would not be one of the highest grossing video game franchises of all time. Now Rockstar workers must be given a seat at the table so they can share in this success.

The IWGB has a proud record bringing together workers in the video games sector - launched by the Game Workers Unite international and lately having achieved the first recognition agreement in the sector at ZA/UM.Workers at Rockstar have chosen the IWGB for their union, and it is only right that Rockstar respects their choice and agrees to bargain with them.
 
Every worker, including those at Rockstar, deserves to be and should be part of a union. 
 
We hope you will make the right choice.
 
Yours

Cancellation of settlement and citizenship is a fundamental break in the contract between migrants and the state, with the state treating migrants as undeserving of basic legal rights. It codifies a two-tier system of deserving and undeserving human beings based solely on where you were born

Fair play, very funny thing to say in defence of a party whose primary campaigning strategy is to wait for a horrific tragedy to befall a town, community or even individual family, and then roll up and go, "We sure hope nobody burns down a mosque over this—though we'd sure understand if they did!"

The demonisation of Reform leaders -eg  casually accusing them of “exploiting” Ann Widdecombe’s murder-has very real consequences for their safety. This could not be more serious. Please: just stop. It is NOT a game.

I'm deeply concerned by parents carting their kids about London in these charming Dutch bikes on busy roads! Is it not incredibly dangerous to just open your precious cargo (small children) vulnerable to the elements (cars) like this? You need the bike lanes the Netherlands has as standard!

Douglas Alexander is both a cabinet member and *co-chair of the Scottish Labour election campaign*. How do you run a campaign when your leader and the co-chair of your campaign disagree on whether the Labour PM should resign? How is that sustainable?
