UK govt ditches flagship policy from the workers’ rights bill.

Removes the right to protection from unfair dismissal from the first day of employment, introduces a six-month threshold.

Victory for bosses, Tories and LibDems.

Insecurity for workers.

The bigotry towards people who are transgender is not incidental.
It was and is a central plank of the Labour Party to gain and retain power. This is who our government is and every LGBT person should never forget this.

“Creeping curbs to individual rights, the clamping down on dissenting views, the narrowing of groups to which rights apply, the relentless intrusions into privacy & personal data, all amount to a tangible shift towards an authoritarian state.”

Here we go. The Govt has u-turned on its manifesto pledge to give all workers protection against unfair dismissal from their first day in a job. A predictable u-turn for Starmer’s Labour, this was a crucial jigsaw piece if you want to protect the most precarious workers. (1/2)

47 arrested outside the Ministry of Justice.
90 arrested in Tavistock Gardens Peace Garden.
60 outside the Home Office.
140 outside the Royal Courts of Justice.
These are just from the last week.
Over 2,500 arrested in total.
This is what Starmer, Cooper and Mahmood have done.
Do you feel safer?

"Starmer says scrapping two-child benefit cap was ‘long-standing ambition’"

He literally stripped the whip from 7 of his own MPs just last year for daring to stand up to him not ending it then.

Does he think we're all stupid or what? And why isn't the media coverage mentioning that recent context?

I’m so mad about Labour dropping the day one protection from unfair dismissal. It just feels like they have no idea what some workplaces are like. This comment from Rachel Reeves yesterday just sounded so heartless.

Hardly surprising the fraud PM Starmer, elevated into power by the corrupt Labour Together cabal who deceived the party membership so they could take it over, has broken yet another promise.

Thanksgiving is a moment to slow down, give thanks, and share what we have. Its history is complicated, but its call for gratitude and connection is something we need now more than ever.

Starmer doesn't care about food banks; he doesn't use them.

Just heard Starmer talk about how he finds child poverty abhorrent. Shame he didn’t say much about it last year…

Sir Keir Starmer doesn't understand why dangerous jam-maker Jeremy Corbyn volunteers every Christmas Eve at a food bank without taking the cameras. "This kind of missed opportunity is exactly why Labour needed me," he almost certainly said... 😉

The fun part is that if you listen to the papers’ politics podcasts, they all understand we’re fucked because we’re paying a gajillion pounds a year to compensate for decades of lunatic refusal to invest in improvements. But then you turn on your radio and it is mostly this shit, wall to wall.

I mean, *very obviously* it was catastrophic to spend a decade all-channels blasting the public with ideas like “funding the NHS is self-indulgent nonsense for effete pricks having a circle-jerk of moral purity”. Wildly reckless idiocy, a bit of an abomination really. But that’s what happened.

Nope, we can’t now go back to “just reporting news”, because of the huge number of MP and journalists who spent the last decade angrily explaining that the Labour Party is rammed with self-indulgent wankers who disastrously want to ensure children are fed, to show off how pure and virtuous they are.
