Today marks 1 whole year since Govt set up the ACRS Scheme to resettle Afghan refugees. Yet despite promising 20,000 resettlements, *not a single person* has been brought to the UK under pathway 3 this year. Govt's broken promises are costing lives - they must be held to account

This is Gaza, not Ukraine. Does anyone care?

Have you met any kids?
They spend their lives on stuff that isn't "relevant" and have a great time being kids.
Isn't that the point?
The recent push to give careers advice to 5 year olds is a vile idea.
I have a maths degree
I get tired of the "why not teach something relevant" crowd
Critical thinking is more important, and actually being able to look at figures, know what confidence limits are, and know how stats can be twisted by the unscrupulous would be useful is part of that.
Relevance could be life skills that teach you to literally read between the lines, and maths is right in there, if it was properly taught.

Yesterday was Maths. Today it’s Harry.
This attempt to distract people from their bills doubling, food bank explosions, the collapse of the NHS & Govt corruption is as depressing as it is predictable.
Banana Republic Britain.

If you think every single MP should be pushing the government into action to save lives in the NHS, RT this please.
I will follow back everyone who RTs this. Time for us to get connected 💙

Sorry about the real-terms pay-cuts everyone, we can't afford to give you any wages because we've raised interest rates which means we have to give all the money to the bankers again.
So it has to be recession and poverty for the lot of you. Sorry.
My advice would be to get a job as a banker. Their bonuses are going to be incredible.

#ukpol - anti-strike laws
I reckon if the right to withdraw your labour is removed you have no choice but to immediately resign.
If a nurse is legally required to do nursing, then they should stop being a nurse-slave and become an unemployed-freeman.
Surely the whole of the NHS and all the train staff should just quit entirely, en-mass, if anything like these proposed laws actually pass?
The fact that the press is barely even questioning the legality of these kinds of moves speaks volumes about how captured they have become.
Wonder if it would even matter if it was Journalists that were being turned into slaves legally required to do their job?
They'd be fucked if that happened, none of them seem even remotely *able* to do their job properly. They'd have to all go to jail.

"discipline" is overrated. it's exhausting and unsustainable. what's the alternative?

This is hilarious in a bad way
If you sack them, Sunak, who is going to do the job when no-one wants to do it already?
Pay them properly, sort out the chronic lack of resources, and sit down, fool.

RT @FlyOnNo10Wall
We’re going to pass legislation on small boats and to curb strikes. We’ve already passed laws to restrict protest and make it harder for young people to vote. I think this tactic, making things we don’t like illegal, can be taken further. We should make not being Tory illegal.
