Beth served the Cynon Valley with (left wing) distinction - I've heard several Labour members make similar comments in recent months
Beth Winter, the former left wing Labour MP for Cynon Valley, has confirmed she is leaving the party because of its “authoritarian political agenda” aimed at “serving corporate interests and protecting the ruling class” ✍️@ShiptonMartin nation.cymru/news/former-cyn…

Thrilled to see this @guardian piece about David Wrench - maverick musician and producer. All his solo albums and collaborations are astonishing (and completely different) and his rare live acts are pure art. I was once the only paying audience member… theguardian.com/music/2024/o…

Apparently ‘middle Britain’ lives off the profits of stocks and shares and landlordism. What nonsense. Most people in this country have to work and pay taxes on their wages. The privileged minority who don’t, and enjoy unearned income, should pay more tax.
'Are you plotting a war against middle Britain?' - @BethRigby Our political editor quizzes the PM after he insinuated that those whose income are derived from assets, such as shares or property, would not fit his definition of 'working people'. trib.al/Rx0iR33

Important points yesterday evening in Parliament from MP Liz Saville-Roberts @LSRPlaid on the integral role of FE. Fantastic event, and there’s still lots more to come. #NewDealForFE

Fascinating document related to HE national bargaining has come to light through FoI. It's striking just how much policy relating to industrial action is set by UCEA and enforced on employers through 'expectations' that it will be followed. Full doc: uk-highereducation.neocities…
Communication from TAPPR Ltd in regard to the disclosure of the UCEA Code mandated by the First-tier Tribunal. Please retweet and share. Full documents accessible through precariouspostdocs.com @USSbriefs @ucu @OxfordUCU @OxfordAntiCas @cdbuni @QM_UNISON @Wonkhe @qm_ucu

Hastings, yesterday. I stopped to take a photo, as it made me laugh on my own, in the street. – at Hastings, England

Journalists are meant to speak truth to power. That's our job. But what do you do when that power is your own news org? This thread (professional suicide note?) is about @guardian & @ObserverUK's future. Because it turns out you can’t believe everything you read on a poster.. 1/

I think the WG implementation of 20mph worked well....people still whinging is fine by me but won't change anything as the evidence is getting clearer...it saves lives and money.
I think implementation was great...quick and rough at edges but enabled rapid delivery of benefits. Had we taken longer, more comms, more time there would be people dead now who would otherwise not be. Focus on early delivery of such benefits should always outweigh whinging!

Oxford and Cambridge universities should only be allowed to enter one team each in University Challenge rather than a team for every single fucking college they've got
Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum

1/6 This tweet generated a lot of noise which I expected. I stand by it. Nor was I rude/insulting. #1 We can all be ignorant sometimes on some matters. A lot of people are clearly not aware of the broad/robust& increasing body of data that supports 20mph in urban/built up areas
A lot of ignorant, misinformed and selfish people in Wales.

The one bit of Corned Beef Remembering I will allow is the loss of pre sugar tax chocolate. For my money the only high that comes close now is Dairy Milk buttons, and even they are a shadow memory of what we've lost
