Keir Starmer: you are actually the leader of the Labour Party, so stop letting your every utterance and decision to be influenced by what Reform voters think. I don't give a fuck what Reform voters think. Deliver Labour policies, you fanny.

I regularly buy a dozen bottles of Badger Ale and 2 packs of mushrooms at my local supermarket. I put them on the conveyor belt in that order hoping the cashier will burst into song as they put them through the till, but they never do.

I wonder how many UNISON members at the University of Edinburgh have the privilege of not needing to know what their salary is?

Yesterday afternoon, members from across the country came to Parliament to lobby their local MP over the higher education funding crisis. Thank you to all who attended.

UNISON is calling for urgent action to defend jobs, save universities and deliver free education. #highereducation #fundourfuture

Tricia McArthur @unisonmedia.bsky.social branch sec nails it. Who is serious about resolving @scottishwater.bsky.social strike? Not management. Unions spent 3.5 hours last night trying to get somewhere, only to be offered £30 extra year 2, paid for by a £15 per week cut to standby in current offer.

Christina McAnea: Disappointing but not unexpected that Farage thinks he can immediately threaten local government workers in the councils Reform will control.

Think again - this isn’t the USA - we have laws that protect workers, and strong unions that will ALWAYS stand up for their members.

The thing that bothers me about these posts are that these people voted for pain for other working people.
Trump’s own voters are turning on him.

Interesting 🧵

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:

1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.

These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Students and staff at Glasgow uni are united in their determination to see the university divest from the arms industry.

We have written to the secretary of court, calling for an emergency meeting of court and immediate action to be taken to ensure student's welfare is supported.

Divest NOW.

Sad to see that George Foreman has died. He had a really interesting life and career. Olympic gold, two heavyweight titles, but also turned his life around from one of bitterness to a much more positive outlook.

A true great who shouldn't be defined by his loss to Ali.
