Striking workers at @ncmme.bsky.social had a sing-song for @unison.org.uk general secretary Christina McAnea last week.

They performed a famous song which was written in homage to coal miners. It shows the unity and togetherness on the picket line ✊

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Digital tools are increasingly used to stalk, harass, and sexually exploit women and girls. AI amplifies the abuse. Action is needed from tech companies, governments and society.

There is #NoExcuse for online abuse.

The chief executive and the board of trustees of the National Coal Mining Museum have failed to act in the Museum’s best interests, failed to manage the Museum’s resources responsibly, and more.

They need to resign.
