had some real joys and deep lows on twitter over the last 15 years, but those highs feel long gone now. Hope to rediscover some joy and community over there. Who knows ?
On the murder of Brianna Ghey - and the vicious anti-trans moral panic of contemporary Britain.

Pleased to work with @unisontheunion to show that drivers using their car for work are being shortchanged. @hmtreasury has not updated tax-free mileage allowance since 2011. Data shows a 41% uplift is needed https://t.co/d34PIRo4H7 @iwengraf @RACPress@Tim_Chatterton
The government must raise 'out-of-date' mileage rates for struggling public service staff.
UNISON's Driven Out of Work report says the allowance should be 63.4p a mile based on increased motoring costs and inflation.
BREAKING: High Court rules government strike-breaking legislation unlawful following UNISON case, with judge ruling that Business Secretary acted unfairly and irrationally.
Employers can no longer hire agency staff to replace striking workers.

POV: You’re a station I’m trying to use and I need to buy the 50% wheelchair discount, but I can’t because the ticket office is closed and TVMs don’t sell them.

You cannot consent to abuse.
This would be a betrayal of people at risk of these incredibly harmful practices.
It’s taken half a decade for the Conservatives to come up with a ban that wouldn’t be fit for purpose. It’s just not good enough.
It’s time to hit reset, ditch the review body and agree to annual pay talks. That’s the best solution for the NHS, its staff and patients. #nhs

"For such an egregiously corrupt and reckless blimp, a man who oversaw tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths, a life of feted luxury awaits. Which is more the pity. What he deserves is nothing more than eternal ignominy and the inside of a prison cell."

I don’t wear 🌈 items to tell you who’s in my bed. I wear 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren’t alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won’t judge. I wear pride bc you make them hide
