Desperately sad to learn of the death of Peter Krykant, an indomitable campaigner who brought Scotland's drugs deaths crisis into the light and kept it there, and without whom The Thistle, the UK's first legal drugs consumption room, would not exist www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

That's two billion bigger at an inflation rate of zero, 0 billion bigger at an annual inflation rate of 1%, and 2 billion less at an annual inflation rate of 2%.

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

there’s value in the winter fuel payment as a universal benefit, but if you’re going to means test it £35k seems pretty high to set the threshold

Good news! UCU have won an employment tribunal against the directors of the film 'Adult Human Female,' who claimed UCU's protest against the screening of the film represented discrimination and harassment due to their GC beliefs. UCU press release here for details: www.ucu.org.uk/article/1404...

Of course the IDF was never going to allow the Madleen to sail up to the Gaza shoreline, in the same way that of course Stephen Miller was always going to try to attack protesters. That's irrelevant. The thing that people need to get a grip about is that these are both bad things.

In breach of international law Israeli forces have captured the activists on Madleen. From the Freedom Flotilla Coalition Telegram: "SOS! The volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. Pressure their foreign ministries and help us keep them safe!" 🧵 t.me/FFC_official...

defenders of women’s sport thinking that *Simone Biles* is an inferior athlete compared to all male gymnasts is so incredibly telling

Mary-Ann Stephenson worked with numerous trans-inclusive organisations, including Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre as well as Coventry Women's Voices. The inclusive track record is *of* these organisations, not Stephenson. She moderated herself to work with others. I fear her being in charge.

Imagine being so right wing brained that you try to make out that the Fire and Rescue Services are somehow a problem. Like apart from possibly nurse, find me a profession more beloved and trusted in the UK than fire fighters. "The hot people who save lives", come ON, pick your targets better

Do folks like Kevin realise that when they unjustifiably turn criticisms of someone's lack of rhetorical skill into a class issue, they're the ones introducing classism into the equation?
