Well when I worked for DWP the exclusion was 6 weeks. It's probably worse now.

(2/2)... call a general strike anytime, but unless workers are prepared to undertake civil disobedience and break TU laws, it will get nowhere. So bloody depressing.

Sadly you're quite right. As someone who was a TU activist through the 80s and 90s, it's sad to see unions so decimated. Successive anti-union legislation from Thatcher through to the present day, together with the rise in precarious employment have left millions of workers powerless. TUC may (1/2)

TRUMP CONFIRMS HE WAS AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN THE GENOCIDE:

'Bibi Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never even heard of, but we got them here didn’t we? You used them very well" (the 'ceasefire' press conference 13/10/25).

It's the English Green party, Scottish Green party are seperate and registered officially in Scotland. Get facts right pls.

onion person @junlper.beer · 1d

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

The UK Labour Government will allow the Welsh Labour Government to decide where the Welsh share of the so-called 'Shared Prosperity Fund' is spent. In contrast, the Scottish Government is bypassed. Spend in Scotland is dictated by Westminster.

Let's see if I have this right. *Biden*, who wasn't yet president and had no power whatsoever over the FBI, planted 274 (very exact) special agents to induce peace-loving "good people" to violently attack the Capitol so as to stop *Biden* being formally adopted as president.

You're barking, Donald!

Because they know that there’s a real possibility of majority support for Scottish #Indy , whereas they still think it’ll never get majority support in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 so they don’t think they need to push the union in Wales so much as they think they do in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I think they’re in for a huge shock.

Those of us of the boomer generation have become quite used to losing the icons of our youth, but somehow losing Diane Keaton is hitting very hard. 😢

Agreed, but they won't drop her as she fully represents what the BBC stands for. Just don't watch, or even better - don't pay the licence fee.
