How dare those greedy train drivers go on strike, don’t they know there’s teachers struggling?
How dare those greedy teachers go on strike, don’t they know there’s nurses struggling?
How dare those greedy nurses go on strike, don’t they know-
Tonight the Conservatives are attacking the devolved power of the Scottish Parliament and Trans people by preventing the Scottish Gender Recognition Act from becoming law.
So desperate to find wage culture wars they’re willing to imperil our constitution and attack minorities.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, holds her smart phone with former US President Donald Trump on the line, as Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, waves it off during a meeting of the 118th Congress in the House Chamber on Friday.

The UK government is failing to take any steps to mitigate the risks of using potentially harmful AI technologies, which leaves people, particularly from marginalised communities, at risk. (5/6)
