It might feel extra hard to reach out for help today because it’s Christmas. But please know you don’t have to face anything alone. If you’re having a hard time, we’ll face it with you. We’re here all day and night 💚

Fireworks cause fear and stress for animals and wildlife. They should be banned/restricted.

“The UK is home to 13.5m dogs; around 6.75m are visibly scared of fireworks. As a result, these dogs can sustain physical injuries, suffer from prolonged anxiety, & even have shorter lifespans.” Paints an awful picture of our society! #fireworklawchange

We might be unpopular for saying this but we don’t care.

We loathe the use of fireworks, they frighten animals and disturb wildlife and for what?!

They’re utterly pointless! Do you agree?

Angela Rayner: "We are repealing the strikes minimum service levels act... the law has failed & has no reason to stay on the statute books... we're also repealing nearly every part of the flawed trade union act of 2016...

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

NEW 🚨 | The Government has told all public sector employers to IGNORE the Minimum Service Levels Act.

This is an important milestone in the campaign to protect the right to strike.

Labour have committed to formally repeal the laws later this year.

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home.

In order to empathize with someone's experience you must be willing to believe them as they see it and not how you imagine their experience to be.

Sadly, none of these things arose from a billionaire's altruism or sense of generosity 👇
If you work, you will have benefited from some, if not all, of these entitlements won for you by generations of trade unionists.

Left: James Cleverly blames Doctor and Nurse strikes for the rise in NHS waiting lists

Right: Chart from the FT shows the rise of NHS waiting lists since the Conservatives took office in 2010. You see that black arrow on the right? That's when the strikes began

Man in blue, "Thames Water on the verge of going bust.. The water industry is the perfect business model.. Their market is every home, every business.. Their customers are forced to use their company.. There's zero competition.. They're selling a product made up of 70% of the earth's surface.. If you cannot get that right, you should not be running a business" #BBCQT

That's the plan.

Earlier this week, work and pensions secretary Mel Stride said that the Personal Independence Payment “is thousands of pounds a month”.

This is incorrect. Those receiving the highest possible weekly amount of PIP get around £800 a month.

It's today!

On #IWMD24, we remember the courageous firefighters who lost their lives to protect us.

More staff & public funding are keys for the solution.

Help firefighters to help others!
