Those pictures of Cummings on his way out of Downing Street are stage managed. They do not candidly capture a public downfall. They are completely for show. This isn’t a humiliated exit, this is a performance. We just don’t know what the next Act is yet.

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS Universities have started to offer pay day loans instead of putting a real offer on the table. This is utterly scandalous. We have members struggling to put food on the table and they think acting like Wonga is the answer 😡

This is a video that I never thought I’d have to put out. Or wanted to put out, but here we are. Women’s bodies are not discussion points for men.

If you grew up in a comfortable household you should watch this. Being poor is expensive. There are multiple ways poor people are scammed. Utilities & housing just one eg where poor people are disproportionately exploited. Use your vote in this general election to change things.

Alternatively, and hear me out on this one, we could abolish the monarchy, and redistribute the money to fund early childhood properly. We don’t need to raise awareness about child poverty - Marcus Rashford already did that - we need to spend money to eradicate it.

@grantshapps Those ‘archaic’ rules you hate reflect historical progress. They allowed workers the right to chose between rest and work. At least be honest that you want to take that choice off workers, rather than presenting the rolling back of a century of progress as ‘modernisation’.

Beyond the carving up of vegetables, the thing I can’t shake about this image is that they’ve put the food in coin bags. I’m appalled. They haven’t even bothered to use hygienic storage. Another dehumanising hallmark of bureaucracy. They don’t think poor kids deserve dignity.
