@CoopHeritage It used to be in Heptonstall museum as part of @Calderdale collection. Maybe they might consider rehoming it?

[Jo Bird @JoBirdJoBird]

The BFAWU are pleased to endorse Jo Bird for Birkenhead. We have known Jo for many years. Jo is a strong woman that will stand up for the Birkenhead community. Jo’s record shows that she has tremendous courage. A vote for Jo Bird is a vote for a better future for you, your family and all those in the constituency.

[Mike Galsworthy @mikegalsworthy]

🔥Superb point from @NaomiAKlein

Labour are making no sudden moves that may spook their GE chances- but if they *do* keep the tight economic straitjackets of the last govt (Brexit included btw)…

…they risk the Scholz error, teeing up a far right surge.

[IWGB @IWGBunion]

After just one day of strike action, @JustEatUK have just contacted riders telling them the 50p per order bonus is being reinstated.

Direct action works.

#OtD 1 Jun 1985 British police attacked people visiting Stonehenge in the "Battle of the Beanfield". Policed smashed vehicle windows, dragged people out through the broken glass, and then beat them. More here: https://t.co/Zi60HPhEjc

[Molly Scott Cato is on Bluesky @GreenPartyMolly]

Starmer’s claim ‘I will make wealth’ is insulting

All of us who work actually create the wealth

The problem is we don’t get our fair share

That’s why we need a wealth tax and a 10:1 maximum pay differential

[Michael Walker @michaeljswalker]

Michael Wheeler sat on the three person panel that blocked @faizashaheen for liking perfectly reasonable tweets. Faiza’s baby cried throughout (she had been given only hours notice of the meeting that decided her fate). Michael had his camera off as he was “out and about”. Two days later he’s parachuted into a seat of his own. Do you want these people running the country?

[Jo Bird @JoBirdJoBird]

Why am I standing to be the Green MP for Birkenhead?

Because I believe Birkenhead Deserves Better.

Birkenhead deserves an MP that puts Birkenhead first. That rebuilds our town centre, that votes FOR ceasefire and offers practical solutions to injustice.

Only the Greens have got the policies for a fairer, greener country. We would insulate our homes, phase out all fossil fuels, nationalise water and energy, and tax the super-rich to pay for our NHS.
