My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

A thread on the Employment Rights Bill, the House of Lords and the BBC:
The Employment Rights Bill is going through the Lords at the moment and the government has been defeated on giving workers full rights from day one.

Was in Newcastle to watch Newcastle and Fulham. The players took a knee before the match (I believe that this was the case across English football). Sadness when I could hear a number of boos. Happiness when a larger number of fans clapped. Was this pattern in evidence at other grounds? #BLM

Will you apologise, @emilythornberry.bsky.social ?
Pathetic. Emily Thornberry says Owen Jones is a misogynist for asking her about Gaza because he doesn't ask men about it.
Obviously didn't see this clip.

Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.

So Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, panders to the right again, saying people who are on Indefinite leave to remain need some more hoops to jump through to stay. Until Reform puked out their end to ILR idea, there was no controversy about ILR. Mahmood just validated Farage again. Shameful.

Tell that to the Birmingham bin workers. Their pay is being slashed by a Labour council that's using scab labour to break their strike, and you, the Westminster govt, support them doing it!

Utter bullshit.

The Jon Stewart monologue last night reminded me of this scene from V for Vendetta. I hope it ends better for Jon than Stephen Fry's character.
