#OtD 25 Aug 1996 a coalition of working poor, unemployed and homeless Philadelphians working with the Kensington Welfare Rights Union organised a campaign opposing state and national welfare cuts. The campaign lasted until June 1997 https://t.co/mnnxB67a9K
The thing about all this reheated 30 year old elf'n'safety/PC gone maaad bullshit is just...who fucking cares man. How do you look at the fucking world around you and conclude that officious fire reg box-ticking is a meaningful part of the problem
Well @policescotland have lost the plot - it’s official. Today, on their orders, I was not allowed into court because I was wearing a Palestinian scarf!!! I couldn’t tell you what was said in court, nobody could because the staff just mumbled. Case adjourned until Feb 9.
Every outlet should be able to say this plainly. NYMag was one of the few that didn't push me to change the word when I wrote my essay there this year. Others should follow suit.
A budget surplus is just an accounting outcome. It is not what makes a nation prosperous. And this really just shows that it is pointless to target a fiscal budget outcome. A government should target real outcomes instead.

Tom Barrack, U.S. Ambassador to Turkey, had a close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, exchanging numerous emails over the years, even referring to Epstein as a "role model." This connection has not sparked the same controversy as others linked to Trump's circle.
Only a few weeks ago Andy Burnham was telling us he wanted us to have "Hope in Every Postcode"
So what is we are meant to be hoping for Andy?
World War Three.
Sergey Brin is leading a $90 million ad campaign to stop California's 5% billionaire wealth tax.
He is $133 billion richer since Trump's election.
But that's apparently not enough. He'd rather children lose access to healthcare than pay his fair share.
Greed is a sickness.
Murder spree is back. After a two-month hiatus, US forces are back to bombing small boats with nothing more than this absurd argument that they were "traveling along known trafficking routes"
Farmers in America’s Corn Belt say they are facing their worst crisis in 40 years, as an explosion in diesel and fertiliser costs triggered by Donald Trump’s Iran war pushes grain producers to the brink. https://t.co/wBVYxF4yM1
I invite @andyburnham to read this shocking piece and tell us, the British public, why we are not instantly nationalizing water and prosecuting the barbarians that have pillaged it.
Bonus points for Martin Baggs, that's the most shameless career move Ive ever seen.
