This is a great idea, because until now Ai uptake has been limited only to the most discerning and well-informed.

Let’s shut this whole fucking country down. Stop the ICE murders. Boycott USA is you are abroad. We don’t need a World Cup or a rock band’s tour, we need justice and serious fucking help.

I know I bang this drum a lot, but the Covid Public Inquiry largely passed by with barely a ripple. We seem to be memory-holing the whole thing and it's warping diagnosis and debates.

Tinkering around the edges isn't going to fix the injustices at the heart of our tax system. Our Director, Faiza Shaheen, giving the Government a reality check on BBC Politics Live this week.

Long-term claimants of employment and support allowance could be moved over to a new, time-limited disability benefit – equating to cuts.

3K billionaires control $18.3 trillion, and this concentration of wealth is reshaping democracy itself. Billionaire money changes who gets heard, who decides, and who gets left behind. Read the evidence: www.oxfam.org/en/resisting... #RuleOfTheRich #FightInequality #TaxTheSuperRich

To relaunch our blog we're sharing our thoughts on the New Zealand court ruling on family carers employment status and rights. carefulleconomy.co.uk/perspectives/

This is a bad headline. But I guess, ‘add 0.1% to total employment costs’ is less exciting. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Thanks to @highpaycentre.bsky.social for showing how deep inequality runs. Is a CEO worth 1500 of the rest of us? We've (naturally) run the numbers for unpaid carers too; Melrose's CEO package is over 13,600x what carers live on. Our priorities are upside down. Let’s change them.

Hopefully this will soon become #ReclaimTheEconomyMONTH and then Year and then #ReclaimTheEconomyFOREVER - how about it @earth4all.life?

I keep thinking about all the legitimate orga & people still posting on X whilst it produces CSA images. Why not commit fully and start popping your statements on PornHub.

HPC data shows the FTSE 100 CEO just over two days to earn the median UK worker’s full time annual salary. Average CEO pay is £4.4m — 113× the median worker’s salary of £39,039. With long-term wage stagnation, how can this possibly be justified? highpaycentre.org/fat-cat-day-...

A wonderful piece on grassroots, local focused women-led solidarity action in Liverpool. Very inspiring. Worth a read @hannahwebster.bsky.social especially the march with the bin workers.

Much of the Act's significance will now depend on secondary legislation, enforcement, and political will. Without strong institutions and resources, legal rights risk remaining paper protections.

However, the Act also falls short of the full “New Deal for Working People” originally promised by Labour. Proposals like a single ‘worker’ status and a statutory right to switch off were dropped 👇

After an uncertain 2025, the Employment Rights Bill has become law. @liammullally.bsky.social takes a closer look at what’s actually in the legislation, and what it means for workers, unions and employers 👇 buff.ly/ygH3gMn

For me, this interview sums up what's wrong with the modern Labour Party. Too quick to link extremist far right rhetoric with popular left wing positions. Too quick to say what they're against & not what they're for. To dismiss wealth tax cos it won't solve ALL the problems is foolish.

Again, we learn that most people can make sensible decisions regardless of their level of income or wealth. Trouble is, many politicians base their careers on the myth of the irresponsible poor

Four day week has real potential to shape a new improved way of working for us all. Especially those with a relationship to care. Deeply disappointing & maddening from the Gvnt. @autonomy-institute.bsky.social @4dayweek.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Well done @equalitytrust.bsky.social ! Great analysis and report www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

You beat me to this. I would go as far as to ask @ippr.org to take this post down and reframe it. It is a huge error which distracts from a really useful analysis.

Let's not perpetuate this language. Let's call it what it is. Hateful. Rooted in bigotry and the gateway drug that allowed austerity to destroy lives.

Normalisation of "gig work" & "gig economy" masks the precarity of work that nearly 5m undertake. This is the tip of an iceberg of the erosion of workers rights. www.theguardian.com/business/202... We spoke to lovely Joe, from @iwgbunion.bsky.social for Words of Affirmation. Give it a listen.

the BBC should apologise with a montage of all the times Trump showed support for 6 Jan and they should get the person who does the end of World Cup montage to do it

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

More wise words from @carefull.bsky.social, this time on Paul Scholes' announcement that he's sidelining paid work to care for his autistic son. This is a dilemma that affects so many carers in our economy; article link in the comments

Rockstar Games, "famed for its Grand Theft Auto franchise, the latest edition of which netted more than $1billion (£770 million) in pre-sale orders alone, last week fired all 30 workers who had been part of an Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) Discord channel"

This week Paul Scholes shared his experiences of caring for his son alongside his professional role and it resonated with us. In our economy - that devalues and isolates care - the challenges he faced are shared by millions, but not everyone has the resources he has to fall back on.

At Care Full we support the four-day week for its potential benefits to unpaid carers. The government needs to catch up. The evidence points to too many positives to ignore.

Did you see our new report launched yesterday? Check out our thread below.

An excellent briefing on all things care related. Pulling together issues with our current model and setting out the potential for ambitious changes. Thanks for including @carefull.bsky.social new report. Out today.

Care Full ( @carefull.bsky.social ) are looking at how experiences of care unite us all, and how that should be recognised. Please check them out!
