Wonderful to be on the picket line with the GMB at Brighton's Royal Pavilion yesterday. The Royal Pavilion Trust must call off this attack on their staff. Whilst the Trust does nothing, UNISON members are balloting too.. bigger pickets to come! Pics from @strikemap.org @gmbsouthern.bsky.social

The Labour Party platform of "change" seemed to mean Conservative Party values being more effectively implemented....

The vague and confusing recent DfE announcements regarding academising schools and inept SEN funding reforms further highlight that this government appears to be only listening to all the wrong people. #education #DfE #schools

Right now @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social beg the courts for more injunctions to ban effective protest and picketing, this time for persons unknown. Instead of resolving this dispute, they try to ban protest. Solidarity is not a crime. Follow: www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland... #StrikeMap

Had the Labour party been reading Private Eye in 2009, when business columnist Slicker was already laying out the peculiar Mandelson-Epstein connection, they would have known exactly what they were dealing with. ➡️ Watch the full episode of Page 94 on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnCe...

If you are going to front a march for the far right whilst holding public office, you should probably expect some sort of response.

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?

Dear UK government,

Let's be clear: our mental health is getting worse, and cutting benefits won’t help.

You claim mental health is being “overdiagnosed”, but where’s the evidence?

The reality is that our environment affects our wellbeing - pandemics, the cost of living crisis, political unrest and ongoing concerns around climate change are all taking their toll.

But when people seek help, they face months, or even years, of waiting.

Rhetoric like this is dangerous. It reinforces stigma and stops people getting support.

If you’re serious about change, listen to those affected. We can turn this crisis around - but only if the government works with us, not against us.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Mind

For an ambassador for the UK government to use their platform to publically pontificate their personal opinions is an abuse of that position. A half decent PM would sack Lord Mandelson immediately. #ukraine
