UK govt ditches flagship policy from the workers’ rights bill.

Removes the right to protection from unfair dismissal from the first day of employment, introduces a six-month threshold.

Victory for bosses, Tories and LibDems.

Insecurity for workers.

So all those Reform supporters can shut up. If anything that's damaging.
Net migration to the UK drops by two-thirds, ONS figures show
It is down 69% year on year and the lowest annual figure since 2021

It means we will be paying off an interest debt for 50+ years (leaving the NHS without necessary funds for patient care).

It means private companies will be paid to construct and maintain new centres. But when they go bust, the public are left with poorly maintained buildings and have to pay twice.
Absolutely disgraceful 👇 - Labour's manifesto promised NHS would be "publicly owned and publicly funded"

Openly now ripping off patients for generations to come

Even the Conservative government said "goodbye to PFI"

Outrageous, unjustifiable, wrong
"Part of this will be capital funding we've allocated into the primary care estate.. & some of it, we're working with the private sector as part of a private sector partnership to fund the rest of them"

Absolute bollocks
Raising the minimum wage while maintaining the tax threshold just means more people will be paying tax.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Labour will call this an Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project which means under their Planning and Infrastructure Bill no-one can object.
Business Growth Partnerships is all they care about
Just pathetically in Heathrow’s pocket, Govt backs the airport’s own climate-wrecking expansion plan, the one that requires moving (!) the M25.

Aviation bosses and frequent flyers causing everyone else’s daily lives tons of miserable disruption. Ridiculous!

Heathrow's plan for longer third runway chosen by government
Under the selected plan, the runway would be up to 3.5km long and require a new road tunnel under the airport.

Interesting that this happened the day before the government approved the Heathrow expansion
Last night the Government steamrollered its Planning Bill through, slamming the door on vital protections for nature.

They said it would be a ‘win-win’ for the economy and nature.

But in reality, they’ve pushed nature into last place.

Just been for another job interview, I think I did well , couldn't do anymore. Demonstrated relevant experience and enthusiasm but didn't get that vibe at the end from one of them. The job was exactly the same as my old job from a year ago too. But always the same story. Fed up with it.

Right, "GDP reduced by 8%..Brexit decimated UK economy"

Even in Italy, they are talking about the Green Party Leader.
Se torniamo indietro di un milione di minuti, arriviamo al 2023. Tornando indietro di un miliardo di minuti, invece, arriviamo all'Impero romano: questa è la portata della disuguaglianza economica odierna.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
