Why has this become socially acceptable?

A view along a footway with a verge left with large trees and front gardens left. There is a black car sticking out over the footway and a grey car beyond even more.

Even more incentives for bad behaviour in academia. I’m not sure it’s what we need.

Parents in their 80s want to walk more. I've had a look on maps and streetview and their range isn't limited by their capability but by roads that are too dangerous for them to cross. Suburbs are not healthy places to retire to.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵

Thank fuck for Plaid Cymru.

‘Doctors have warned that the government’s decision to exclude health and social care workers from its covid vaccination programme is putting patients at risk and will have a major impact on an overstretched NHS.’

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.
