.@unitetheunion is well prepared for all eventualities and I will not apologise for making sure that my members don’t pay for a crisis not of their making. This collective decision by this failed government, in reality, will change nothing. 3/3 #thursdayvibes #JoinAUnion

The minister for disabled people has told MPs it is too expensive and too much effort to produce statistics about key parts of an assessment system linked to hundreds, and probably thousands, of deaths over the last decade.

Did anyone really believe this shameless bunch of charlatans when they said they would enhance workers rights?
It’s time for workers across the country to unite. Let’s stand together, fight together & win TOGETHER! And if you’re not in a union join one NOW! https://twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/status/1550081224890351617

Why 🛒 supporting the human handgrenade?

Prime Minister: *lies his fucking arse off*
MP: “The Prime Minister lied.”
Speaker: “Right, I’m not having that. Get the fuck out.”

PM: “Captain Hindsight is a pointless human bollard.”
Speaker: “This is fine.”
Fucking joke country.

@jesagain @ShabanaMir1 We need to STOP placing the burden of fixing the problem on EACH of us as INDIVIDUALS. We need to put the burden on ALL of us, COLLECTIVELY. It's not about if I decide to drive or ride a bike, it's if WE decide to force our govts to give us walkable cities and public transport.
