Gaslighting bullsh*t, we heard you say exactly the opposite just days ago.

✊We stand in solidarity with all educators.

👩‍⚖️We have some of the most regressive trade union laws in the Western Europe.

🙋‍♀️We oppose the minimum service levels legislation, and will fight against its implementation and for its abolition

#GFTU

I have noticed this too

Completely unnecessarily wasted money and heavy-handed attitude from GCC in taking legal action against these young people, who had initiated conversations about how to use the building legitimately. Embarrassed by the administration’s response here

Sorry for short notice. Gloucestershire CC, whilst burbling about “community led” solutions, have given this genuinely community led project 2 days notice of court eviction proceedings, almost like they didn’t want anyone to notice.

So much this. Many ppl could do the kind of light duties that trade unions used to ensure were available for the ppl who needed it. It made workplaces more diverse and caring. These days there are too many bosses who demand 1000% from their workers & expect them to keep smiling.

Anyone considering pontificating about people “feeling like” or “choosing” a life on benefits shd be made to read this factual tweet 500 times a day until the reality of it sinks in.
The meanness of benefits has been proven to be counterproductive. It makes ill people more ill.

I do not love seeing a local MP boosting the local cosmic right / antivax conspiracy theorists, who’ve latched onto 15 minute cities as a nefarious “communist” / (((globalist))) plot. For shame, Mark Harper. Any comment, Siobhan Baillie MP? Is it bad to have shops <15 mins away?

Does this mean kids won’t be allowed / told to use phones as “learning aids” during lessons? Be that photographing the whiteboard (meh) or doing online quizzes (double meh).

Cos otherwise, it’s not really “banning phones in schools” at all, is it?

Late to this but flipping heck. Ive worked with Keep Our NHS Public many times. They are smart political folk, who might sometimes shout at politicians wrecking the NHS, but how can that remotely justify police restriction on freedom of protest & movement? x.com/keepnhspublic/…

This feels like a shameful abuse of police powers. I’m proud to have worked with Keep Our NHS Public: a kinder, more polite group of people you could not imagine. Their crime seems to be disagreeing with the government. It turns out you don’t notice when the slope starts to slip.

Reader, this European capital city also has special seats on the buses reserved for people reading books 😍. Can you guess where, without reading the rest of the thread? x.com/carolinejmollo…

And we’re supposed to believe you mean it, after you’ve had 13 years in power, because…? 🤷‍♀️

Imagine getting angry at the thought of *checks notes* ordinary people getting a bit more time off work. You really don’t want to let that sort of thing go unchecked. The public might end up happy and healthy.
