Pure greed! low productivity may be one thing, but when you salary structure allows most workers to stagnate and the suckups to grab all the benefits, it’s not only the economy that is screwed

Yes, they see through fake Farage and his old git appeal. I imagine they think of him like people used to of Bob Monkhouse or Highie Green - out of touch and insincere

@samcoatessky.bsky.social this seems like a story worth following Sam. Better luck with this than the 50p Rachel Reeves swindle you bet your wages on !

But Gove said all contracts were handled by civil servants. Surely you're not telling us he lied?

Michael Gove personally intervened to ensure that a Conservative donor's firm was awarded a multimillion pound covid contract.

Private correspondence reveals that Ciga Healthcare’s Brexit-supporting owner had pushed Gove to “take control” of the process.

The contract was awarded just days later

This photo gives the impression of the Covid vaccine -rather than infection- as the problem. Is that a sensible image to use at this time in the US?

Vote them out - Johnson is more concerned about the political ding dong that hungry families! I can’t believe that. No shame just raw politics?!

A good review from @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social on #NoKings media coverage with a sliver of good news: Local news gets the story right.

Good news: many local newspaper editors did a much better job covering the reality of mass demonstrations. Using large headlines such as “We stand for freedom” “I love my country” “It’s about democracy” “It’s my duty to speak up” “This is what democracy looks like” “Standing up for country” “No thrones, no crowns, no kings” “Your voice is your power” “I can’t stand it anymore” “Calling” No Kings”.

Its juicy when a political party you oppose has some lowlife get a deserved comeuppance over hypocrisy or in Johnson’s case for being himself. But the hounding of a woman because she has the temerity to think she can run the county’s finances is just plain shite journalism @samcoatessky.bsky.social

Because that would include herself?

Come on - we are better than this.Self pitting over a useless/selfish bloke and another woman/women/men. Creativity must be about more than this surely

And we should never forget the BBCs problems are down to LEADERSHIP. No different to any other organisation. The exec is rotten- Gibb, Davey et al Tories and interferers.

meducks.bsky.social @meducks.bsky.social · 4d

The Tory party was and is full of stinking, shifty, grifters and money grabbers. Crapenoch, MelBoy and the rest of them need to remember that we don’t forget they kept their moral outrage to themselves for two decades.

Good spot this - @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social should pick this up and explain why such clumsy categories are necessary and in this case incorrect.
