EXCL: The Green Party has received a damning audit of its workplace culture and pay to staff by Unite the Union.

A staff survey found that 47 per cent of workers for the party are struggling financially and 46 per cent believe they are underpaid.

Among the workers, 30 per cent were unsure whether they wanted to stay in their job, while 14 per cent intended to leave.

Unite also warns that ‘salaries remain considerably below market rates for comparable roles in the campaigning and political sectors’.

Chelsea have done well to get 500k from City there with just 1 year left on her deal. Absolutely gutted with this though 😔

Man City have agreed a £500,000 deal to sign Niamh Charles from Chelsea, the Guardian understands. It's set to be completed. Charles helped Chelsea win five WSL titles, four FA Cups & three League Cups. A Euros winner with 34 England caps. More on the Guardian app. #BarclaysWSL

Wanting to compensate the WASPIs is disqualifying for sentience, let alone No 10

if the bbc had done it the publication you work for would have run 18 stories in 19 minutes covering every penny spent on it and what an OUTRAGE it was to waste license fee payers money like that.

[Michael Wake @MikeJWake]

People moan about the licence fee and then go and complain the BBC aren’t paying for luxury skyline view studios… 🙄🙄

[The 44 ⚽️ @The_Forty_Four]

Two different budgets for the FIFA World Cup 2026!

Two studios

ITV= New York Skyline- whole production team out their for Six Weeks

BBC= Virtual Reality studio in Salford

Really dissapointing from the BBC😬

This is not a protest. It’s a Far Right Pogrom in Working Class East Belfast against innocent people who work in our schools and hospitals. The animals responsible for this are just as bad as that evil bastard who attacked the man with a Knife last night. Scumbags, all.

Normalise contestants on The Chase telling someone they’re actually *not* good enough to take the higher offer and to get back in their lane.

🚨 BREAKING: Police have shared more details about how they believe the Belfast attempted beheading suspect entered the UK

- He travelled from Sudan to Paris and later flew from Paris to Dublin on an unknown date

- He then travelled by bus from Dublin to Belfast on 10 February 2023 and claimed asylum on this day

- He was then granted leave to remain in the UK on 28 September 2023

@ThatGarthGuy He’s also just completely misunderstood it. Nothing will have changed in production. They often do that to veg prices at Christmas to get people in the shops knowing they’d then spend more on other things.

@toryboypierce As you well know that happened under the 14 years of Tories…

He’s dating Kim Kardashian, who has an estimated net worth of nearly $2 billion. He's worth nearly $500 million and lives in Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK.

Remarkable lack of self-awareness.

Sorry but it's a fair criticism that nearly every episode follows a formula so precise that you can predict the next plot development by the minute.

Farage is being open about setting up his own Gestapo. And people say he’s not a facist? 🙄

[Michael Wake @MikeJWake]
