Legal 500 workers win full pay claim after strike action

Wednesday 30 September 2026  
Share
Dozens of publishing staff at Legalease, the publishers of legal industry-bible The Legal 500, have won a dramatic victory in their industrial dispute over pay.

Staff who had been on strike for two and a half weeks accepted an offer that fully met their original pay claim of a £2000 pay increase for every worker. This was despite the company originally claiming it would not pay such an increase.

The "formerly normal" guy referred to here went transphobic years before he went antisemitic. I'm not saying that it always follows that sequence, just that there's an elective affinity.

(this does help make it clear why I am so frustrated by pro-Israel advocates who call allegations of genocide and other war crimes vs. Israel a blood libel. the Blood Libel is a conspiracy with a very specific meaning and history and it is something that still exists today.)

so, uh, over on Twitter this guy who first became prominent as an anti-Zionist Jewish Israeli expat is now explicitly claiming the Blood Libel was real, that Ashkenazi Jews did kill Christian children to use their blood in Passover matzah & that Jewish historians have been covering it up.

Yesterday's pogrom in Jaloud proves that, even in the rare case that the IDF is sent to protect Palestinians from settler violence in the West Bank , it is unwilling/unable to do so. As @nirhasson.bsky.social says, it is time for international peace keepers. www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-bl...

It really gives the game away when the anti trans orgs are calling the election of the neo nazi party in Germany a "glimmer of hope."
​A screenshot of an online article headline from "Inspecting Gender" by Genspect. The main heading reads: "Germany: A Glimmer of Hope for Sex Realists?" Below the title, the summary text asks: "Is the victory of the AfD in Germany a dark day for democracy or a glimmer of hope for sex realists? By David Allison." The bottom metadata displays the Genspect logo, "5 hours ago," and a "Listen" audio option button. In the top right corner, there is a teal "Subscribe" button alongside a circular profile avatar.

Exciting news. I kept a VHS player until 2012 purely to watch a tape of The Devils I'd recorded off Channel 4 in 2002. I then got rid of it and bought the DVD, which turned out to be a less complete cut than the C4 version.

When we talk about dark money infesting our politics we generally think about Reform's Russian links, or the ADF pouring overseas cash into Christian anti-abortion and anti-LGBT lawfare. But here we see dark money in the heart of the Labour movement, quietly funding transphobia and exclusion.

The first rule of military ethics is have fun :)
In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any "collateral damage" during assassinations of low-ranking militants. The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander.

No only is there nothing on the BBC News website about far-right activist Danny Thomas attempting to sink a boat with people on board by slashing it with a knife, it says this: This isn't failure to report. It's not even deliberate omission. It's a systematic coverup.
Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, shared a YouTube livestream of the boat from the Channel.
Thomas - a long-term campaigner against migrants - organised recent protests in Portsmouth and Dover.
