I was proud to run a company that was accredited to the Living Wage and Living Hours accreditations - I ran a more efficient, productive and profitable company as a result. To learn more visit @livingwageuk.bsky.social

I wonder if Mr Glover has considered sending any of his family to enlist and also whether he’s going to chip in with a bit more tax?

I had never heard about @scvo.scot Gathering. It was humbling to see just how many people and organisations were doing so much good with so few resources 💙 If Reform get any kind of power this is almost certain to be destroyed #LivingWage #Community #Care #Tolerance

@danneidle.bsky.social Just pause on this part of the thread. He’s leaving the UK because he would only have £11bn instead of £14bn just stop for a moment and think about £11bn and then let’s discuss how unpatriotic or disloyal he is to leave the country that made him a multi billionaire

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

It’s important both from a Labour point of view and as an executive to get much closer to digital technology.

Hard to argue with that analysis, it’s the reason why I can comfortably describe Reform UK Ltd voters as either stupid, racist or driven by self interest over the national best interest. Of course you can be all three!

I like Starmer but this has been very unedifying - even as a pro Starmer supporter we must accept it hasn’t been a good look. That said only time will tell. I certainly think he has to make sure he delivers but I am not confident the media will let him survive….

Trautmann’s Journey @trautmans.bsky.social · 01/07/2025
I think evil is a bit strong - there are good policies in this government and more importantly good MP’s in the party - that’s how democracy and parliament should work. But the behaviour of the executive has been unacceptable

Trautmann’s Journey @trautmans.bsky.social · 01/07/2025
I think the reality is Keir Starmer is now damaged and @lizkendallmp.bsky.social needs to go. It’s shameful for a Labour party to behave like this-very sad. It’s not enough to say they’re better than Reform it’s a too lower bar!

You can’t ignore the support policies to get people into work, but yes PIP score of 4 is arbitrary and parliament deserves credit for holding the executive’s feet to the fire. I do not doubt that this has damaged Labour and was ill thought out. But there are many good policies that are bring ignored

Trautmann’s Journey @trautmans.bsky.social · 01/07/2025
It’s more than one policy and parliament is working exactly as it should. The Labour party has always been a party of differing positions as most political parties are, MPs hold the executive to account - all MPs. PIP taken alone removes context - and it can’t be debated on here in 300 characters!!
