Real labour values, like making sure companies can still fire people for bullshit reasons.
What is the ‘labour’ party?

Felt like this when mortgage payments went up a few years ago - yes, it's horrible to now be paying an extra £200 a month, but that's been happening to renters year on year and there were no sadface articles on that, just "market forces" and "nobody has a right to live in a city"
This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Listen all I’m saying is that I remember six little years ago when we were told that Corbyn living in a £1m house was evidence of vast wealth. I know inflation’s been wild since then but I simply do not believe that we’re now in a world where owning a property worth £2m is somehow standard

There’s an app called Libby that anyone with a library card can register with. Carries ebooks, audiobooks and magazines.
If you like books but wish they were cheaper, allow me to introduce you to: Used books.
If you like second-hand books but wish they were free: Libraries.
If you like reading but can't get to a used bookstore and won't support the library (it knows what it did!): Scroll X and go slowly insane

Many people still imagine beekeeping and honey making are somehow 'good for nature'.
But it's the *total* opposite.

99% of Discourse could be avoided if people simply accepted that multiple things can be true at the same time, and often are. The universe isn't divided neatly into heroes and villains. Humans are messy and complicated. Everyone always thinks they're the good guy, no matter how awful they are.

Thread about how Labour’s right wing press led attack on “luxury motability cars” is just another kick at the people least able to defend themselves.
Rachel Reeves says she’s ending “Motability tax breaks”.
Sounds like she’s cracking down on luxury cars, right?
That’s not what’s happening.
These changes raise costs for all disabled people on the scheme, including those with the cheapest cars.
Here’s how. 👇🧵

I will never grudge giving away a book.
If I’m being honest, I’m always surprised if I get a book I’ve given someone back.

I once taught a whole lesson on the narratives of deservedness in the very strange concept of “stealing” books from something conspicuously branded as a “free” little library. The students struggled with it. A lot of internalized beliefs about poverty and worth. But I think it was a good lesson.
If you are concerned about people swiping books from your little free library and reselling those books, I ask you to go to your local used bookstore and sell a book
Okay?
Understand?
Alright, next question

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are
