Attended the lunchtime @palaction.bsky.social demonstration because I don’t want to live in an authoritarian society where our Government can get away with proscribing groups they disagree with #FreePalestine

Winter fuel allowance for pensioners - cut Disabled people's benefits - cut Child benefit - cut Don't worry everyone it's OK we're getting a theme park instead. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

With the @greenparty.org.uk failing to offer any cut-through leadership, the left needs a new answer to halting the UK’s slide into Farageism. Mick Lynch is the kind of leader who could do it. @owenjones84.bsky.social hits the nail on the head. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The worst reforms since George Osborne will teach voters that politicians really are all the same. "That is the sort of loss that can’t be measured by a Treasury spreadsheet". - @DrFrancesRyan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Labour's cuts to sick and disabled people's benefits will save £5bn. A 2% wealth tax on those with assets of over £10mn would bring in £24bn. These cuts are both cruel and unnecessary.

Over half of Green voters in 2024 didn’t know who Carla Denyer was. 86% couldn’t identify Adrian Ramsay. Totally agree with this piece by Joe Todd for @novaramedia.com - time for a new populist leader! novaramedia.com/2025/03/11/t...

Ash has got this absolutely right. Hyper-focusing on identity politics is divisive and a huge strategic mistake that continues to box the left in to a smaller and smaller corner. open.spotify.com/episode/2tdU...

Essential reading from @moreincommonuk.bsky.social: Leftwing activists less likely to work with political rivals than other UK groups, study finds www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Over 200 companies in the UK, which includes over 5,000 workers, have permanently adopted a four-day working week with no loss of pay for staff @4dayweek.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...

The hundreds of companies that have adopted a four-day working week in the UK are proud to be leading the way on better workplace rights and as a country we should be proud that the UK is leading the way on this. Me on BBC Radio 4 earlier. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Agree with Simon Jenkins that smartphones should be banned for young people under 16. They are bad news for adults too though! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This Starmer speech just feels like more of the same. His 6 missions have now become 6 milestones? 🤷‍♂️

Really pleased to announce today our new @4dayweek.bsky.social Pilot Programme for local councils, building on the success of South Cambridgeshire District Council's trial and the government's new approach of giving councils more autonomy over workforce management www.4dayweek.co.uk/councils-pil...

We should have a working week that brings out the best in us. It’s time for a 4-day week.🍦

On @goodmorningbritain.bsky.social this morning. We love to see it!

Great to speak with HR and Business leaders today at the Richmond Human Resources Forum in London. The interest from businesses in a four-day week was so high that we had to deliver our session twice to accommodate everyone.

Iceland’s shorter working week has been a huge success – and it’s changed my family’s life. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These are really shocking statistics: one in three children and a quarter of adults are living in poverty. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

We’re often astounded by the confidence some people speak with on the issue of a 4-day week when they haven’t got the first clue about it. Read one set of trial results. Take a quick look at the positive outcomes from South Cambs Council’s pilot. We dare you.
