A little thread for Mr Starmer.

Let’s start with the resignation letter. It was the weakest of the plotters by some distance.

Essentially, ‘Dear Jeremy, I’m quitting because everyone else is.’

Jeremy even gave him another chance.

Over the past few weeks, we've seen a huge and growing movement of people resist government's abhorrent Rwanda plan.
It's not just lawyers' who are standing up for people's rights - it's thousands of us, out on the streets, writing to our MPs, challenging airlines. 1/🧵

Just voted to tell Govt to get round the table with rail workers – Ministers are playing games, trying to shame Labour and at the same time refusing to negotiate in earnest

Depressing that seems to have worked - Labour abstained on Govt motion condemning the strikes

@RMTunion

Problem is, I don't trust either of these "alternatives" either. It's the status quo that's killing us.

A vote for Keir Starmer in the 2020 labour leadership race was a vote for moral cowardice in public life.

Those who voted for him, including many of my friends, didn’t expect that. The challenges & opportunities of the 21st century require boldness & ambition!

When you're in a dystopic society but you're just resigned to it, that's Ohwellian.

Here you go @Keir_Starmer... while you are busy attacking Jeremy Corbyn, he is fighting .

Got knocked back on a coding test

Calling something that fetches something from an external API ThingFetcher and something that stores info to match what the user wants WassnameMatcher (names changed slightly) is somehow a poor choice of names ...

And apparently linting with standardrb and RubyMine's built in layout manager isn't linty enough.

Think I dodged a bullet.

Depiction of trans people as sexual predators is identical to similar attacks on LGB people. Some people from any group, including cis women, are sexual abusers. Claiming all trans people are dangerous is transphobia.

Migrants don't rob the public purse of billions of pounds.

That's tax dodgers.

Migrants don't drive down wages and exploit workers.

That's greedy bosses.

And migrants don't underfund our schools and hospitals.

That's a Tory government working for the 1%, not the 99%.

The only countries ever to leave the European Convention on Human Rights are Greece, temporarily, after a military coup, and Russia, after invading Ukraine. In case you were wondering what kind of company we'd be in if we left.

I myself have wondered why refugees didn't stay in European countries and have travelled on. So I asked them.

If you're the sort of person who cares about benchmarking or colour calibration, it turns out Samsung has been cheating on the tests. flatpanelshd.com/news.php?suba

We've started referring to this "cheating when you detect benchmarking processes" as "volkswagening", at work.

Of course the best way to avoid having your evil, immoral, appalling, human-rights-abusing plans halted by judges…

…is not to have evil, immoral, human-rights-abusing plans.
