Meet Simon Thompson, the CEO of Royal Mail. He earns £62,750 a month.

Because its a struggle getting by on just £1,500 a day after tax, he also got a £140,000 bonus this year.

Simon has cut posties pay in real terms.

In a campaign in which I am saddened to say, fair play and integrity have not always been apparent, I find myself needing to put out this information to clarify a few things for West Derby members. I would much prefer to be concentrating on hold the Tories to account:

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

If you clapped for nurses in the pandemic, you better support them when they go on strike now.

They're fighting for fair pay and for an NHS that's properly invested in.

That was my message at the #EnoughIsEnough rally in Newcastle last night 👊🏽

@MarkHor85004053 @ZoeJardiniere Nah. You’re wrong mate

[Red Baz @Leftysoc]

@EmmaKennedy Would have to be naive to think deleting DMs means those messages are permanently erased from Twitters servers.

A better summary you will not find 👏 👏 👏

What can we conclude about an AI programmed to flag words like "Tory", "hypocrite", and "liar" as toxic, but not "Paki", "wog", or "Go back"?

That either the researchers wanted to put their thumb on the scales and make the left look bad, or that they're unforgivably stupid.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

The BBC put together a report about "toxic" tweets aimed at MPs, using an AI to analyse 3 million tweets. It claimed ethnicity didn't play a role in MPs being more likely to receive abusive tweets, but didn't even programme the AI to flag racist abuse.

And the report's still up!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Nurses have voted to go on strike for the first time in their history, demanding better pay and a fair deal.

I clapped for them during the pandemic and I support them now.

Solidarity to the nurses! 💙

NEW: Jeremy Corbyn calls on Wes Streeting to apologise to those affected by his comments.

"There’s nothing “in-jest” about calling somebody senile.

"It’s very serious for people suffering from dementia. He should know this as Shadow Health Secretary."

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK. By 2025, over 1 million people will be suffering from the disease. The impact on loved ones is unquantifiable.

Now, more than ever, we need a National Care Service — publicly funded and free for all those who need it.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is gross, @wesstreeting

[Red Baz @Leftysoc]

@petesherlock79 Abuse here means criticism of politicians.

Politicians don’t like to be criticised. They don’t like to be held to account.

Politicians want to spew hate and advance their career through Twitter but without facing any push back from the public.

@tomhfh There, there

[Jess Barnard @JessicaLBarnard]

@lukeakehurst Hi Luke, that��s not the case. When asked if we all agreed, I said no and shook my head, as did others. I raised, twice, objections to this decision. Appreciate you were in the room, rather than online so may not have been aware, but wanted to correct this before posting my report

[James Schneider @schneiderhome]

Who is this authoritarian freak?
