Ex-Reform UK employees issue claims for alleged unpaid wages. Employees claim they were summarily dismissed after the UK general election without payment for several months of work. Reform MPs voted against Labour's modest Bill on workers' rights. Be careful what you wish for. archive.ph/4O17Y

£15,000 pay rise for OFWAT CEO. Must be for performance - water companies dumping sewage in rivers, unplugged leaks, record hike in customer bills, permitting companies to pay dividends Will probably get a job with a water company, previous CEO is director of Thames Water.

Wow

Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill. Some dark arts being used to silence people. Threats of discipline/expulsion, filibustering i.e. talk to ensure that the Bill debate runs out of time. Dhould be a free vote on all green issues. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

First time at Margo in Miller Street. Thoroughly recommended at all Glaswegian foodie types.

A rarity these days.

Andrew Dallas on VAR at Ibrox... no word on who'll take over on the 56th minute...

No one in Scotland can think this is acceptable, but some here still vote for it.

Oh myyy…

We are mugged. More than a third of water bills service debt & dividends; leaks not plugged, sewage dumped. 50% at Wessex Water. Water companies paid £85bn dividends, borrowed £60bn. OFWAT approved huge hike in bills. Govt won't end the privatisation scam. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

Indeed, this is where we are.

The hun meltdown since Sunday has been truly spectacular.

Kasper Schmeichel has been immense for us since he joined. It's fantastic that his penalty save was instrumental in the cup win.

Our 1st cup since I joined Bluesky. Feels good. COYBIG

I've just seen Kyogo's goal; what a finish. His first touch was sublime.

1/5 A groundbreaking Amnesty report published today concludes Israeli authorities are committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. www.amnesty.org.uk/genocide-rep...

A significant 3 points for Celtic in horrible conditions. Onwards.

WTF did Valle do to deserve a card, there?

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit were tremendous tonight. Elephant will never, not hit me.

The first weekend of domestic football since I joined BlueSky has started well.

2 years ago today, I saw Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. I see them again in 8 days. It promises to be the gig of the year.

I made tablet.

Since it was sunny out, we went to Harcourt Arboretum today. Despite it being late autumn, it was lovely.

First visit to Six by Nico in Oxford. Interesting menu.

I grabbed a moody photo of the moon whilst waiting at the chippie van.

Here's a picture of a spectacular steak i had in Paris earlier in the year.

I'm liking Bluesky so far. It's just a pity I joined during an international break.
