@gxrethclarke Were your bosses also employees, or partners/owners? this is where this policy falls down (or at least the way it’s worded here); it’s all about employee ratio— says nothing about directors or partners or owners or shareholders’ pay in relation to the lowest earning employees

It’s 10 years today since Gemma Collins wanted her shoes back in Celebrity Big Brother and Tiffany Pollard delivered *that* iconic rant.

@DoctorsUnited @wesstreeting A vet who has had the same length of training and met the same requirements, makes less money.
If it’s not about the money but about jobs, stop asking for money. It’s ludicrous to expect more jobs AND more money. What business employs,eg, 2 more people& pays everyone more money?

#DoctorsStrike #BMA “£18.62/hr is not a fair wage for a resident doctor.”
What is the overtime pay/hr? What is the unsocial hours pay/hr? How many day(s) off after working a night shift(s)? As a non-doctor salaried medical professional in private industry, my answer to all 3 is 0

#doctorsstrike infuriates me
“The average starting salary for a full-time Resident Doctor is around £38,800” for 48h per wk

I, a 3-year qualified equine vet, work 45h per week plus an additional 14h on-call night per wk plus 1 wkend (fri pm - mon am=62h) every 6 wks. I earn less

Unacceptable scenes on the @LNRailway 12:33 Birmingham New Street to London Euston. Only 4 carriages. Packed. No ventilation in certain parts of the train.

@acaciaforgot ‘s lip syncs have been underrated this #rupaulsdragrace season. Looked STUNNING in Step by step, and I loved that Wet Dream look and the wig reveal into an umbrella was just brilliant

At 10pm we all hold our AQA poetry books up for our spiritual English teacher, Frankie. #TheTraitorsUK

[james @jamesdpot]

I LOVE Charlotte on #TheTraitors … personally would’ve recruited Alexander to throw under the bus, but if her plan to get Freddie banished pays off, then surely that’s got to go down as one of the best game plays ever?

[BEYPRESS. @beyoncepress]

OMG! @NashvilleScene comes to Beyoncé's defense after Luke Bryan's words last year

"When country star Luke Bryan weighed in on why Beyoncé was snubbed, he answered in a way that we’ve grown accustomed to passive “nice” white guys answering when they refuse to apply the most miniscule molecule of critical thinking to complex topics regarding race and gender. In an earnest tone, Bryan protested to Sirius XM radio host Andy Cohen that “everybody loved that Beyoncé made a country album — nobody’s mad about it.” But then he argued that if she wants to be accepted by those in the country music industry, she needs to “come be country with us a little bit” and “come to an award show and high-five us.” There’s a crap-ton to unpack here folks, so strap in.

First of all, this is an obtuse thing to say from an individual who literally shared the same stage as Beyoncé at the CMAs in 2016. But maybe he suffers from selective situational amnesia. Perhaps he forgot that the rejection she received from those very hands he so desperately wants her to high-five is part of the reason Cowboy Carter exists. For Bryan to suggest that she could come kiss their asses to gain their respect is preposterous and laughable. One of these subjects holds the record for the most Grammys ever awarded to an individual; the other is Luke Bryan.

Furthermore, Black women are constantly expected to perform this kind of pantomime to earn a seat at the table. What’s important to grasp here is that Beyoncé isn’t even asking for a seat at the table. After being rejected by the dinner party once, she went out and built her own damn table in true resilient Black-girl fashion. And she invited a whole host of other Black artists making huge waves in country music to sit with her, including Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy and Willie Jones.
