🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law.
This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them.
Some of the watershed measures this Bill delivers:
➡️ Banning exploitative zero hours contracts
➡️ Sick pay for all from day one
➡️ Expanding paternity, parental and bereavement leave
➡️ Strengthening protections for pregnant women, whistle-blowers and victims of sexual harassment
➡️ Making flexible working the default
➡️ Repealing Tory anti-union laws
Unions and workers have long campaigned for these vital rights.
Finally, working people will enjoy more security, better pay and dignity at work thanks to this Bill.

In the UK, there are no officially recognized “Sharia courts” with legal authority equivalent to UK civil or criminal courts. However, there are private arbitration bodies or councils that operate under Islamic law (Sharia) to resolve civil disputes (e.g., family law, inheritance, or financial matters) among consenting Muslims. These are often referred to as Sharia councils or Sharia arbitration panels.
These councils function under the UK’s Arbitration Act 1996, which allows private arbitration for civil matters as long as it complies with UK law and is agreed upon by all parties. Their decisions are not legally binding in the UK legal system but can be recognized if they align with UK law.
BREAKING - Trump just said he doubts whether France or other NATO members would help America if we needed it.
WRONG. The Article 5 mutual defense obligation has been invoked only ONCE in the 75 years of NATO.
To help America. After 9/11. And our allies answered the call.
After 9/11, NATO's Article 5 was invoked for the first (and only) time ever by the United States.
Troops from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Spain, Poland, Norway, Romania, Turkey, New Zealand, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Finland, and many others joined the fight in Afghanistan.
More than one thousand of these soldiers paid the ultimate price.
JD Vance - Have you said 'thank you' once for their sacrifice?
When America invoked Article 5 after 9/11, almost whole world showed up — including Ukraine, a country not even in NATO.
And now? You MAGA fuckers wanna abandon them?
Mark my words — karma’s coming. You’ll be remembered as nothing but traitors wrapped in cheap Chinese flags.
This is Gunnar Gran, CEO of Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s largest fuel companies. His company has announced that they will stop providing fuel to the U.S. until Trump supports Ukraine.
RETWEET to thank Gran for standing up for democracy around the world!
📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.
Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.
This excellent article by @F1Legal on the #AbuDhabiScandal is well worth reading.
Remedies to correct the result were available, but weren't used. As a result, Masi's rule breaking was allowed to stand by the @fia.
An indelible stain on #F1. #F1xed https://t.co/DF3pZOmQ4f
