It doesn’t take a behavioural economist to see how with off-the-shelf weight loss drugs we got hooked on effortless transformation. The gateway drug for dynamic pricing and blurring of clinical & advertising standards.

Worrying signs the govt could cave to Big Pharma 💰

Paying more for medicines won’t “boost innovation”, it’ll just boost pharma profits while the NHS struggles to afford care.

UK move to inflate pharma profits threatens NHS — Just Treatment

Statement in response to reports the government plans to raise NHS drug price limits — a move that risks importing America’s drug pricing crisis and putting profits before patients.

BREAKING 🚨 | 30 trade unions have written to Hull Trains warning their actions could damage safety culture across the rail industry.

Our movement is united in rejecting attacks on union members.

We stand with all @aslefunion.bsky.social members.

Read & share the letter👇

#StrikeMap

We are writing to you in support of ASLEF members in relation to your vile victimisation of a trade union member who raised health and safety concerns with you.

After 73 days of action, which have seen growing support for the unfairly victimised trade union member, we are urging you to reinstate the member affected and to end this dispute now.

Trade union activity, including raising vital health and safety concerns, is fundamental to the role of effective trade unions in the workplace.The actions of Hull Trains management could damage safety culture across the rail industry.

Today, on 29 August, we stand in solidarity and will be encouraging our members to join the solidarity rally.

We will continue to use the full power and ‘weight’ of our movement to make sure Hull Trains is held to account for these actions.

We urge you to reinstate the colleague affected and ensure an end to escalating levels of action and wider campaigning from our whole movement.

We look forward to you doing the right thing by your staff, commuters who use your trains, and the wider community.

We stand in solidarity with all trade union members at Hull Trains.

Yours Sincerely

FRIENDLY REMINDER: There is too much plastic in the water because we keep putting water in plastic.

Right now, we have a vital chance to cut plastic production - through a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty.

But plastic loving lobbyists are trying to sabotage the treaty. ⁠
