“We have to move away from the ECHR definition of asylum. It allows lefty lawyers to exploit it and frustrate our efforts”

RT @BeckettUnite: Inflation to hit 13.5% in October say BoE.

As trade unionists we must be honest, any pay settlement less than 13.5% is a real terms pay cut.

99% of workers will get a real terms pay cut this year.

#Ofgem doesn't appear to know what it is for. Doing more of the same yet more often is really not going to help is it?
Regulatory body not fit for purpose. Government missing in action.

Do the Tories have RON on their ballot paper? Today I met a Tory couple who are members, but don't like either candidate. When I told them about RON, I think they wished they were in the Green Party—except then they wouldn't get the chance to say RON to the Tories! 🤣

@beachlabour @cyclepath Yet another of the blatantly stupid schemes that count for getting the £billions that the government will then boast about. "We spent £x bn on active travel and public transport. Why aren't you satisfied?". The schemes are always intended to free up roads for cars to go faster.

And is it such a bad thing if decent levels of pay in the public sector help to pull up wages in the private sector to match? There are currently too few people earning enough to buy a house or raise a family or spend money in the local economy. We were promised sunlit uplands!

"Not going ahead with regional pay boards" doesn't seem to say "not going ahead with offering public sector jobs at lower salaries in the regions".

If she didn't intend to cut pay for nurses and teachers, the sums she thought she'd save didn't add up. And let's be clear, cutting that much income from staff in the regions, is cutting that much money from the economies of the regions. #LevellingDown #howtobreaktheUK

@CandelandBrian Exactly. Worthless candidates with no judgement. You'd have to be mad to want to be associated with the government we're about to get.
