Excoriating.
RT @BestForBritain: Liz Truss confronted by @EmilyThornberry in 2020 over the UK-Japan trade deal, on her refusal to answer this simple question: what’s the difference, in pounds and pence, between her Japan deal and the EU-Japan deal it replaces?

Now we know: it's worse. UK-Japan trade is lagging.

A truly great man and politician.

I certainly know which politician I prefer. Barbara Castle every time.
RT @michaelwhite: No, Jim and Barbara did clash over In Place of Strife in 1969, but Emnity was wider, JC got fed up with her. Brave & tough, but also abrasive. She rubbed up colleagues wrong way. “ Thatcher was a better politician than BC,” Bernard Ingham ( who worked for both) once told me

Don’t buy the Stonewall line on gender identity? Fine. You can’t be sacked for that now | Sonia Sodha https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/31/dont-buy-stonewall-line-gender-identity-cant-sack-you-now?CMP=share_btn_tw thanks for total clarity re ideology that seeks to up end our society through denying women’s, children’s & gay rights. Let’s all defend 2010 Equality Act

RT @SimonFanshawe: @BluskyeAllison This is a reminder to Stonewall not to betray its legacy of representing the whole lesbian and gay community and not to behave as an ideological organisation pushing a single view of our world with sanctions for being “the wrong kind of gay”. The point of equality is diversity

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/musicians-anger-at-streaming-deal-ruling-bhgjk3xgr @UKCCD1 agrees with @WeAreTheMU Gen Sec Naomi Pohl, that CMA had “failed to recognise serious problems posed to creators”. “This could diminish the diversity of music available." CMA remit too narrow ignoring need for more cultural diversity of expression

Another step in the right direction Allison. Thanks for going through this for all of us.
RT @BluskyeAllison: A special thank you to my legal team of Peter Daly @peter_daly and Ben Cooper QC. They are both rightly recognised as some of the best lawyers in the field of employment and discrimination law. I couldn't have secured this victory without them.

Labour is being too cautious on public ownership - it’s pragmatic policy | Cat Hobbs https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/26/labour-cautious-public-ownership?CMP=share_btn_tw Fear not the DM. Creating a state owned energy co like Norway/Denmark would make so much sense & could be wildly popular bringing prices down.

Indeed Ignasi. President Macron has put the French TV production sector & cultural diversity in jeopardy by not spelling out clearly how public service television is going to be funded long term & at the high level required. @fandoetlis @MFLavarini
RT @iguardans: Francia, a propuesta de Macron, se ha cargado la tasa que financiaba la TV pública y -a través de ella- todo el sector audiovisual.
Se ha presentado como rebaja fiscal.…

RT @EmmanuelMacron: Agissant au nom de la France, trahissant l’esprit et l’espoir de la République, l’État français de Pétain et Laval, de Bousquet et Darquier de Pellepoix, l’État français manqua, de manière délibérée, à tous les devoirs de la patrie des Lumières et des Droits de l’Homme.
