TUC says #ReformUK would make discrimination legal by getting rid of Equality Act. It would be a sledgehammer to hard-won rights working people fought for over generations
#Reform
This is a blank cheque for bad employers to mistreat their staff.

Anyone considering a move away from twitter. Bluesky looks good, especially as a few people I follow and interact with have moved over. I'm also finding people from the outdoor community on Threads.
@CountrysideBen You have my sympathy, I've lost count of the times the start or end of holiday coincides with a change of weather. One year, when October used to be cold, I arrived on the west coast as the first snow of Autumn arrived ending a month of sunshine. The week was wet, damp and cold.
This detailed report moves beyond our old slavery ports to show how provincial England & red brick universities connect to the transatlantic slavery economy. In #Nottingham, cotton, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, banking & slavery networks= key to this story

@RajwinderSPal Raj, it was good to meet you at Corinne's talk yesterday afternoon. I'm sorry I can't message you on X. We talked about black history walks in Birmingham and I asked if you knew of any that focussed on links with slavery. Can you email me [email protected] thanks Colin
1 of 5. Reflections on the reparations conversation:
STARMER saying no apology, no reparations: he needs to read the room in Samoa BUT he is speaking to his own electorate which has not yet heard a detailed case for reparations

How we love #Ryanair the nearest human experience to understanding how sheep feel when the are being herded. Joining a boarding queue as the plane arrives full of passengers. 15 min wait before the plane is ready. Just need the sheep dogs...
