One country invading another is never a good thing… It makes for a volatile, unstable and aggressive world, particularly when sovereign states now have nuclear capability… Yet part of me feels we, in the U.K., were invaded by a hostile force. This government has attacked every value I grew up with of decency and compassion. They have attempted consistently to pass laws to undermine and reconfigure a fair, inclusive society. They have done so whilst promoting their own values of selfishness, greed, ignorance and loathing for anyone vulnerable or disadvantaged. We may not have been invaded by a foreign power… But those at the helm of this country do not wish us well. They pass laws to allow our waters to become riddled with sewage, effectively dance on graves during a pandemic, nepotistically embezzle or lose billions of public funds, empower corrupt mp’s, increase financial disparity, destroy dreams of stable safety and security and encourage bigotry and racism with their idiotic, uncaring policies.

Invaders normally seek to divide and conquer new lands. This government is the most divisive of my lifetime… We can’t let them conquer whatever beauty we have left. Democracy can work for us. We still have the power to claw back the country they stole…

England primary teachers' real pay vs other OECD countries.

This is why teachers are on strike.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

500,000 workers on strike tomorrow.

RT if you support every single one of them.

[Secrets Of The Ice @brearkeologi]

This strange artifact melted out of the ice in the Lendbreen pass. We scratched our heads to try to figure out what it had been used for but we couldn't come up with a good answer. The object was exhibited at the local museum. A visiting elderly woman solved the mystery for us.

This may be the most important chart in UK tax policy. It suggests the UK's VAT registration threshold is holding back the growth of 26,000 companies.

[Sam Knowlton @samdknowlton]

A polyculture of wheat grown with walnut trees produces ~ 40% higher yields.

1 hectare of wheat/walnut mix yields the same as 1.4 hectares of each crop grown separately.

This is an example of overyielding.

I’ll be giving an in person lecture next Thursday 19th January 5-7pm at SOAS to celebrate my recently launched book- Dogon Masks in Motion. Please come (and share)- https://t.co/fyTv847jAx…

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨 | The first reading of the bill to restrict the right to strike is TODAY.

If passed, this will mean health, education and other key workers will be forced to work - and SACKED if they don't comply.

MPs must reject this cynical legislation.

Ever so accurate.

[Merryn Somerset Webb @MerrynSW]

I’m finding it rather amazing how quickly we have accepted that our post will rarely arrive, that we can’t see a GP, that a 12 hour wait at A&E and a 3m wait for a passport is perfectly normal, that paying more taxes for significantly shittier services is inevitable etc.

[Lea Ypi @lea_ypi]

I hate to break it to you but the basic premise of a monarchy is that people are NOT equal so instead of being outraged by some random lady’s casual racism maybe you should channel your anger on the institution that produces lords and ladies in the first place.
