On the blog - @Lena_Job1 interviews French young people protesting pension reforms to find out how their ideas might shape the future of work 🇫🇷🧑‍💼👷‍♀️

[Liam Hardy @liamkhardy]

Once more for those at the back.

🚨 We are in a planetary emergency. We cannot stay below catastrophic levels of warming if we build any new fossil fuel infrastructure, anywhere.

Let's argue about how we create good green jobs, instead of consigning vulnerable nations to death

On the blog - Sean Hannigan makes the case for Labour to win over English voters with a distinct English policy offer @EngLabNet

[Clark Beken @BekenClark]

@Sam_Dumitriu Because the welfare and environmental standards imposed on UK farmers are (rightly) much higher than those in Australia - and the environmental part of that is only increasing (again rightly). If we expect these high standards we have to prevent farmers being undercut.

[Paul Nowak @nowak_paul]

Unemployment was a price worth paying.

Recession is a price worth paying.

Real-terms pay cuts are a price worth paying.

Amazing how much you can be prepared to pay if it’s working people picking up the bill rather than you.

[Young Fabians @youngfabians]

On the blog - as Keir Starmer outlines Labour's mission for health, James Maxwell @MrJMaxwell makes the case for radical reforms to rebuild the NHS.

The reason why half of civil society has signed up to @jrf_uk's Essentials campaign is the same reason why few are openly speaking against it

Who, honestly, can look at this list and say people should live in this country with less than this for these things?

[Alex Kyriacou @AlexJKyriacou]
